2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Bkk Andy]

It doesn't help DCL that he has Doucs at no
10. Then again, I can't remember anyone he linked well with cept Richarlison and James.

Would like to see how Broja would go partnering with Ndaiye at 10 (when there's more than Harrison to choose from on the wing)

Did he link well with Richarlison? The stats don't back that up.

Remember how we felt when we were spending money on Arouna Koné?

That's how teams will feel when they're linked to Dom.



If Maupay had managed only two goals halfway through the year do you think we would be subjected to reading about how he's starved of service and it's all the manager's fault?

Somehow I know that wouldn't be the case.

So what are you actually saying?

 

[Kurt.]

Has he gone yet ?

No. Dcl and Richarlison didnt seemed to combine well in the same team. Never seemed to pass it to eachother at all when either were in a better position etc and came across as they wanted to outdo one another rather than playing together for the team

Very honestly, anytime I see someone do a "x goals in x appearances" I immediately think they must be purposely trying to hide something. Acting as if a 2 minute sub appearance is somehow the same as a 90 minute start is insane. It is SO easy these days to pull up the exact number of minutes played, that the only genuine reason I can think for this misleading(the kind word) stat pulls is manipulation of the data because otherwise it doesnt support their argument. If either Chermiti or Broja score 1(seeing neither has had more than 150 minutes on the pitch) they instantly become more prolific than DCL.

If you want to have a real discussion on it, use the real stats.

Beto in the PL the past 2 years: Goal every 384 minutes
DCL in the PL the past 2 years: Goal every 390 minutes
Cenk Tosun: Goal every 264 minutes
Theo Walcott: Goal every 450 minutes
Richarlison: Goal every 259 minutes

If you want to take a list of terrible players and say "look, hes better than some of those" I guess you can, but wont do you any favors. Being worse than Beto and Tosun is a hard argue. You are correct in that DCL is indeed better than Rondon and Sandro, so thats a plus.

It's not a list of terrible players though. It's a list of our strikers, suggesting there's broader forces.

"I looked at all other forwards and then removed Richarlison because he didn't suit my argument"

I always considerered him more of a wide player.

But yes, if you conclude him, like Calvert Lewin he sticks out.

Da fraud has not been shipped yet?

As in every time he shoots the ball goes wide?

 

[London boys]

Do you like any other Everton players mate?

Beto

Start Beto !

You considered him more of a wide player than Gordon, Gray or Theo Walcott? C'mon mate pull the other one.

For sure Richy wanted to be the "number 9".

First day of the transfer window, my thoughts:

Sell DCL, re-sign Richy and give him the number 9 shirt. We need versatile attacking players, Richy can fill in as number 9, 10, 7. If there was a formation that allowed Ndiaye, Richy and Broja to play together I think we'd cook.

Well some shots didn't go wide.

Probably similar.

I missed Maupay off too, it's funny how people slip your memory really!

The point is though, the idea we get anyone as good as DCL, never mind better isn't going to be easy, if we look at recent history.

I don’t think we’d get a run of games out of Richarlison because of his fitness issues.
I think he played through a lot of niggles and injuries in his last season for us and it has taken its toll on him.
