2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[kenada_blue]

Absolute world class for the 1st goal.

Then turned into Brett Angel again.

Think most strikers in the league get 2+ goals today with the chances he had

 

[windymiller]

And would probably manager 10 goals in a PL season if he played today.

Sure, but that's not my point. We've had loads of successful strikers but none of those records are ever spoken about because the premier league era is when football began according to the socials. So our top scorer in that time only has sixty something goals which artificially inflates DCL's standing in our pantheon.

I thought that as well. Looks a bit daft if he’s on his way

Beto is on his way .....

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Awful on 2 occasions while trough alone on goal though

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Was thinking the same. Must be the first 90 he has completed

I counted once .... MOTM on Sky ,,, Doucs was pitifully poor today not much of striking partner for any of TBH!

Played well enough today but we played more to his strengths which is good for him. I dont rate him highly, never did, but we need him in some kind of form scoring wise to get out of trouble. Some poor misses but at least he is getting himself in positions. Threw himself about better than all season as well.

But the tweet was "top scorer for Everton in the PL" not "top scorer for Everton".

 

[Bkk Andy]

Great finish for the goal and worked hard but really should have scored 2 or 3. He can take credit for being part of a deserved win today but he so obviously isn't the long term answer to our problems.

 

[Kurt.]

He’s still … that’s spurs third choice patched up defence he’s gone against today … should have had 3 by half time

That's the key for me, he kept making runs and getting into scoring positions. Easy to hide as a striker - hide behind a defender, always be just a yard away etc - but he didn't do that today. Kept going, kept at it - needs to keep that level up in the coming games and get on a scoring run.

 

[Terrarian]

More touches in the opposition box than he has done all season did they say, who'd have thought if your forward concentrates on being in the box he's more likely to score.

He's been pretty gash admittedly this season but it's clear as day the tactics were a huge problem. Whatever, whether you like him or not, we need him scoring if Moyes doesn't fancy the others. Let's hope that goal is a monkey off his back and he can kick on, we need him.

One time it was ruled offside after a while, but it was long after he had tried to control it

He is hopeless on one on one's I agree- that firstgol was class- probably his ti kettle to be sold on now !
