Ademola Lookman

[blue to the bone]

Lookman at least had control of the football and didnt give it away cheaply at literally every opportunity like Walcott did.

He touched it about 5 times.
Gave it away twice.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm yet to see anything here. He offers nothing.

 

[Zezti]

Very rarely gets in behind the defence. Has good ball control and all that but he's been pretty ineffectual.

 

[larrygobfiend]

He's really not taking his chance.

 

[blue to the bone]

On new years day.. Book him on a one way flight to Germany.
He's as effective as mcgeady

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

Quickest removal from corner duty I’ve ever seen.

 

[Papa Shango]

He has played one full game which he was average in and 15 mins tonight, that enough chances for you?Before that he was doing well coming off the bench, which is why he started against Newcastle in the first place.

To be fair he has got minutes in pretty much every game for the past 2-3 months.

I'm not as mad as some saying he is useless or anything but at some point he needs to step up more (he is not the only one).

He has shown flashes coming off the bench. He needs to show it more consistently to keep his place.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Not taking his chances at the minute but hes 21. Loads of room for improvement. I'd like to see him start against city as crazy as that sounds. Bit of space for him to get into and pace to hit them on the counter. Let's face it we go into the game with everybody expecting us to lose so why not give him a go.

 

[billyblue80]

I'd give him a run

 

[Zatara]

Why does he also go inside?

Because hes used to playing left or centre?
Tactical instructions?
Expects coleman to be wide?

If a right back plays left back then they also come inside...same for a left sided player shunted to the right where hes never played before.

Usually because Coleman has taken his place out wide........same for Walcott. Coleman is forcing them inside.

Indeed

The two players he's competing with at the moment, Bernard and Walcott - are they offering much more?

Bernard keeps the ball and has good pass and assists stats.

Walcott should be sold in jan.

Not a winger.

Does not suit playing with Coleman imo.

No one seems to suit playing with coleman.

I think lookman looks best in the sigurdsson position -- at least he did for leipzig. If we signed augustin then this could be interesting.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Why does he also go inside?

Because thats his game. Why does Sigurdsson not hold the ball? Why does Gomes hold on to the ball?

He's actually more of a left sided player, but he's having to play on the right.

I actually think Silva would prefer his fullbacks to provide the width so that should be fine.

 

[fandjango]

I’m not, end product is what I’m talking about.

Speed and well timed runs can create space.

End product is what propels us up.

Errr
Perhaps define end product as including “makes space for others “
Just a thought

 

[Albro]

Would suit a 343 or 433. The current positioning does his style no favors.

 

[Eggs]

He's really not taking his chance.

...I think this is right. These youngsters need to grasp opportunities when they arise, the game needs to be important to them.

I agree but it must be hard sometimes always coming into a game late on when you have no personal momentum and quite often the game is at an erratic stage looking to equalise/win.
