“Not Having That” – Sky Pundit Fires Back at Live Comments on Everton Star
Stephen Warnock Claps Back at Sue Smith's Sympathy for Everton Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Attacking struggles have been a significant issue at Goodison Park this season, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the center of criticism due to a string of poor performances, casting doubt on his future at Everton.
Calvert-Lewin’s prospects on Merseyside appear grim.
Speaking to Sky Sports News on 6 January, Smith expressed sympathy for the striker, stating, “I feel for the likes of Calvert-Lewin.”
However, Warnock quickly countered, saying, “I’m not having that, Sue. I watch him and think, ‘try, run, be difficult to play against.’”
It’s hard to argue against criticism of Calvert-Lewin. He simply hasn’t been good enough this season.
While Sean Dyche’s tactics play a role, the forward’s own performances must be scrutinized, with only two Premier League goals to his name.
Although Everton’s lack of creativity is a factor, Calvert-Lewin has failed to capitalize on opportunities even when they’ve arisen.
This inefficiency has likely made it easier for the club to consider his future.
Everton desperately need a new striker in the January transfer window if they hope to stave off relegation concerns.
Fans have yet to see their loyalty rewarded through consistent performances or results, and this reflects poorly on Dyche’s tenure.
Without drastic improvements, it’s hard to imagine the former Burnley manager staying on Merseyside for much longer amid what has been a dismal campaign.
