“Dyche Backs Calvert-Lewin Amid Goal Drought, Affirms Confidence Ahead of Everton’s FA Cup Clash with Luton”
Everton manager Sean Dyche expressed confidence in Dominic Calvert-Lewin, assuring that an end to the striker’s goal drought is imminent. Despite Calvert-Lewin’s 14-game run without a goal, Dyche dismissed concerns and emphasized the striker’s capabilities, citing a disallowed effort against Tottenham as a potential turning point. Dyche, a former striker himself, believes that for goal-scorers, the breakthrough is inevitable, and he is optimistic about Calvert-Lewin’s upcoming success.
Ahead of the fourth-round clash with Luton, Dyche acknowledged the significance of the FA Cup, despite the ongoing Premier League challenges.
