Professional soccer commentary has cast significant doubt on Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future with the club, with former player Troy Deeney delivering a scathing assessment of his current capabilities.
Speaking candidly on a sports radio program, Deeney expressed longstanding skepticism about Calvert-Lewin’s potential as a top-tier striker. While acknowledging the player possesses physical attributes necessary for success, Deeney suggested a critical psychological deficiency prevents Calvert-Lewin from reaching elite status.
The critique extends beyond Calvert-Lewin to backup striker Beto, whom Deeney described as a team player unlikely to consistently produce necessary goal-scoring output. This assessment comes at a critical juncture for Everton, with Calvert-Lewin currently experiencing a pronounced goal-scoring drought – failing to score in eight consecutive starts since mid-September.
Manager Sean Dyche faces a strategic dilemma, with limited striking options that seemingly cannot consistently meet Premier League competitive standards. Despite the team generating significant scoring opportunities – including 27 shots in a recent match against Brentford – their inability to convert remains a glaring concern.
The situation suggests a potential mutually beneficial separation might be imminent. Calvert-Lewin’s deep connection to Everton doesn’t preclude the possibility of him seeking new challenges, while the club itself stands on the cusp of transformation with new ownership and an upcoming stadium project.
