He is raw so he’s still that kid with potential and he does provide an outlet and pace but as a said a few replies back that will never win you a football match. He has over 50 appearances for Everton now and I’m not sure what else he brings as an attacking player. As I said there needs to be glimpses of something he excels at whether that be set pieces, crosses, shooting, finishing - to justify his inclusion now not just the same running down blind alleys, getting bullied off the ball, poor decisions on the ball. Unfortunately like Tom Davies he was thrown in at the deep end due to the ineptitude of Everton’s recruitment and was heavily hyped up by the club this summer, in my eyes, to gloss over the sale of richarlison and his non-replacement. But the last two games, he hasn’t shown any goal scoring instinct or positional awareness as a forward and has 4 goals and 3 assists to his name as an attacker.. the lad needs to show something else or he needs to be moved on while the hype is still there and we can command a decent fee.
No one to play off, Gray who has zero ability to link up play, McNeil who works best off a target man and being expected to win games on his own.
Not really, not if it's reinvested sensibly and wisely.
Ted DiBiase, is that you?
