Many players have the gift but not the mentality, I'm glad we have a manager that will look for consistency and effort rather than a name....
Soooooo....wtf is it with Walcott ??
I get that he tries hard and is fast but he has struggled this season, be it confidence or aging legs but If Ademola can't replace him at his age and fitness, I dont think he's a fit for us. We have always lauded a worker, a worker first....skills later, preferably both but first and foremost the player has to show personality and a will to win the crowd through sheer passion. I just dont see it with Ademola....or Theo for that matter.
Would rather look elsewhere in the summer for the right positions. Bernie and Lukas has the left covered, the right needs work.....bit like we had a decade and four managers ago.

Yeah i don't get this either, but then Walcott is now on the bench and the settled front 3 seems to be Richarlison, DCL and Bernard. However, if a sub is coming on for 20 mins, why not Lookman. Looks like Silva may be holding him to higher standards, or being tougher on him because of his talent. I hope it's a gamble that works out. Richarlison has credited Silva as a father figure, and I hope Lookman and other young players start to feel the same.
 
Don't know if you agree with me but the feeling I get with lookman is the fear that if we let him leave he turns into the boss player his ability could reach. I don't think he will personally because his attitude is suspect but who really knows. I'm 50/50, if he stays we have potential if he leaves cash in and move on.

Like him as a player but not seen enough to convince me to keep hold due to potential attitude problems re surfacing in the future.

Attitude is almost as important as ability for me. DCL is an example of great attitude limited ability (compared to naturally talented players) improving alot due to his attitude.

I think he will be sold if we get the price we want

Yes I doubt if many Evertonians doubt Lookman’s ability and great potential, it’s all about his attitude and willingness to contribute as a team player, he hust doesn’t work hard enough when he gets the admittedly little time he appears in the team, he has to grasp every minute he comes on the field, never really looks like he is fully committed, which is a great pity, hope he realises how good he can be, otherwise it will be his loss, and possibly Everton’s in the future.

Rumours are that Walcott is off. Could free up more chances for Lookman

Walcott isnt the 1 preventing Lookman from getting chances, its this fella.

It’s not talent. He’s got buckets of that.
Attitude?
Commitment?
Something keeps him off the pitch. Silva isn’t the only manager that has had issues with him.
