2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MikeH72]

I can’t believe Beto has equalled his goal tally for the season

 

[Titus Shambles]

As much as it upsets some of you, Dom would have started as our main man today if he wasn't injured. Moyes, like every manager he's played under, sees that he is our best forward.

He probably would have been first choice if fit, and he'd have probably missed every chance like he usually does. Will do Beto the world of good if he can get a run of games for the first time.

 

[kiss the crest]

We signed this lad for £1.5 million a striker, where would you get a striker for that sort of money, the service he has given to this club, the important goals he has scored Palace, Liverpool to name a few.

in the short time he played for Everton under Moyes he looked a different player, a player who always gives his all and is so proud to represent the number 9 shirt at this club, as he has said many times.

Let's give this lad a break and enjoy the win today.

TBF our first choice No9 did need 22 games to finally over-take Craig Dawson in the goal scoring charts......

Tbf, our season started with Moyes arrival. If Dom had been fit today he'd probably have bagged a hat-trick. Chuffed for Beto though.

DCL is a better complete player, and a different type of forward to Beto, but Beto without doubt is a better finisher on the ground.

Was Niasse any good?

Asking for a friend

Hmmm...

No, Niasse wasn't any good and I'm not sure why you'd even bring him up bar all of your echo chamber mates here on GOT that like to make the same unfounded comparisons.

 

[Kayj]

Utter horse manure.

But ok.

DCL is horse manure.

OK?

 

[catcherintherye]

Was Beto meant to score from the bench? I’m not saying Beto is the answer after one game, but Dom is legitimately the worst 1v1 striker I’ve ever seen in the prem. He’s had several of those exact chances this season and missed every one of them.

He was meant to score when he was on the pitch.

He misses all these chances, most seasons nobody scores more than him. Do you ever wonder why that is?

I find it kind of mad, that people can't enjoy a win, and instead seem to be wanting to blame DCL for imaginary chances he might have missed in a game he didn't play in.

Sometimes you can just enjoy a win.

Yes I'm absolutely sure our 27 year old striker, in his 9th season of top flight football, with 17 goals to his name in the last 3.5 years would have totally bagged his second(??) ever career hat-trick...

...just like I'm sure if I'd have got 3 more numbers on the EuroMillions I'd be beating off a yacht full of bikini-clad supermodels right about now (well, hopefully it would be the other way around, but ya can't have everything I suppose)

 

[Osamabindiesel]

What I don't understand is everyone saying he needs service he needs service. Beto got the ball to him but there's almost no chance Dom finished those. If you want your striker to just run hard and not score goals, which he doesn't, then why do you need to pay him £100k pw when any league 1 striker would do the same thing and score just as infrequently?

Dom does not time his runs well and he is frequently offsides. He does not make those runs nearly as well. Which is part of the reason he never gets those passes. Just because Dom needs better service doesn't mean he makes his own luck. He really doesn't.

And why is there still a civil war going on in this thread? Christ

Because some fans seem to think an injured player is somehow to blame, or the topic conversation for a 4-0 win!
