Everton star duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are ‘bluffers’ and ‘awful’ – Agbonlahor
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are a “bunch of bluffers” and were “awful” as Everton lost 5-0 to Tottenham on Monday night (7 March), according to Gabby Agonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker suggested the pair have not fully bought into Frank Lampard’s ideas at Goodison Park.
Calvert-Lewin was dragged off 69 minutes into Everton’s humbling in north London.
According to sofascore, he lost the ball every other time he touched it and completed just five passes.
He has not scored for the Toffees since finding the net three times in the opening three Premier League games of the season.
Richarlison, who has started all of Lampard’s Premier League games in charge, is yet to find the net under the new manager.
The Brazilian has scored just four times and provided three assists in 18 Premier League games this season.
“There are a lot of problems for Lampard in the summer,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“Even Calvert-Lewin offered nothing, Richarlison offered nothing. They were like a bunch of bluffers who weren’t fighting for their manager at all.
“He seemed baffled that he got brought off like he didn’t deserve to get brought off but he was awful.”
Everton are hovering just one point above the relegation zone but have at least one game in hand over the bottom three.
Lampard’s side are next in action on Sunday (13 March) when they host Wolves before a visit to Newcastle United the following Thursday (17 March).
