2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MACCA75]

He's 20.

End thread.

He’s in the Everton first team.

 

[Joey66]

To put him up v a tall top centre half and hoof it to him with nil support - No!

Due to pure necessity as we don't have a striker.

Koeman brought him through, too early IMO, and as we have no one else as a physical presence we're using him.

By all means, pelt the lad. But it's a horrible way to try and become a player in the premier league after jumping from league 2 at his age.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

probably the worst player of a gash bunch out there today.

He actually won more than his fair share of long balls today, but there was nothing around him to offer support.

 

[kenada_blue]

Also...before kick off he had more assists and goals than everyone in that starting 11.

He had no chance today. Blaming a youngster like him for our troubles is just silly.
First off we have to solve our problems at the other end.

Read my post nil support needed Sandro to feed off those knockdowns instead of Snides doing sod all!

Feel sympathy for him because he shouldn't be in the position he is in given we say we are an ambitious club. Ideally he would be out on loan getting some experience to see if he can make it at the top level.

He has shown flashes of good play but currently has little goal threat or presence. Which isn't helped by playing in this side.

Physical presence Lol

 

[kenada_blue]

Physical presence Lol

Compared to anything in the squad...yeah.

We were hoofing the ball at a 20 year old who was being marked by 6'5 VVD.

VVD had a very good game because he is a very good defender.

 

[marsh]

Touch like Lukaku today haha

 

[bol-uk]

Touch like Lukaku today haha

Pinging 50 yard balls at him with VVD breathing down his neck, he had no chance. I really blame DU for not addressing this within the first 15 minutes, it was pointless.

Yes the defence is atrocious but it should start at no. 9 in old money and Lewin couldn’t defend his dinner.
