Everton mooted to ‘shoot up’ Premier League table thanks to ‘game-changing’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Everton can “shoot-up” the Premier League table, with the “game-changing” Dominic Calvert-Lewing key to that potential rise.
That is according to Premier League journalist Alex Keble, who believes that the Toffees have had the easiest start to the new campaign.
The Merseyside outfit currently sit 16th in the league table, winning just twice so far, with one draw and five defeats to their name.
“Everton have had arguably the easiest eight matches of any team in the division, and that partly explains how they could be producing so many high-quality chances, while difficulty finding a goalscorer as Dominic Calvert-Lewin slowly regains full fitness explains their profligacy,” Keble wrote for the official Premier League website.
“Whatever the reasoning, Everton fans have a right to feel optimistic. Three wins from four in all competitions, and nine goals scored, suggests they might soon start aligning with their xG numbers and shoot up the table.
“After all, there really is no more complex explanation for Everton than simply learning to stick away good chances. Calvert-Lewin’s recovery – he’s scored three in his last four – is game-changing in this regard.”
Improvements incoming?
It’s very hard to tell what Everton will do on the pitch, with even manager Sean Dyche uncertain which of his players will show up and which won’t.
The Toffees have struggled far too often this season, but the man in the dugout will constantly point to the fact they managed to ease past both Brentford and Bournemouth.
The club’s form has been much too inconsistent, with the club also picking up a fine win in the League Cup third round against Aston Villa, only to lose to struggling Luton Town in the league shortly after.
Unfortunately for the men in blue, things are only going to get tougher in the coming weeks, with a hugely tricky trip to fierce rivals Liverpool up next.
Everton also have league meetings with West Ham and Brighton coming up, with the Reds, the Hammers and the Seagulls all currently sitting in the top seven of the Premier League table.
