2018/19 Cenk Tosun

[Marius57]

If you take away Niasses ZERO goals and Tosuns 2 goals, we are still 11th.

The pair of them have offered absolutely zilch this season.

Doesn't matter whether they get replaced or not, they need to be shifted if they aren't getting used. Can't be having 100k a week strikers on the bench barely getting any minutes.

Even if we did get anyone to replace them, they will be Evertoned in about a game and a half and turn out to be utter pony but at least it's someone different to laugh at.

Niasse got less than an hour game time for us this season. You speak as if he has played every game for us and hasn’t scored. He hasn’t offered anything cause he hasn’t played.

And before you say it’s cause he is clearly crap so the manager won’t pick him, Koeman thought that as well and then he scored a load last season.

We need a better striker than both of them but at least give them their due, they both scored goals last season.

Leaves us with Rich and DCL up front for a few months. Sure injuries could happen but even if they did what would we do with Tosun or Niasse up front?

Who on earth would we play up front with DCL and Richarlison both out?

I don't think Tosun is anywhere near as bad as others think he is, and it'd be folly to let him go without a replacement

 

[blue to the bone]

Of course it is

Regardless of what they've done so far, they are at least still strikers, and preferable to someone playing out of position

You need an adequate amount of round pegs for round holes, otherwise you end up playing Cuco Martina at left back, because there's no one else

Agreed. Say dcl picks up an Injury leaves us with just Richarlison who is not even a striker.
It would be a mistake

Yup

Hard to score goals when you're not playing

This is professional football. You have to earn your place. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve selection.

If only that were true

Selections are to the whim of a manager

"Earning" your place has little to do with it

Why are we creating a squad to survive double striker injuries? No one does that. We get creative; rather play Gylfi up there.

Everyone does that

 

[Hangleton]

Everyone does that

Walcott has played up front too.

Not whims. Past performances.

His have been crap. That's why he gets little game time.

He's also extremely slow and can't play a pressing counter attacking game.

They both scored last season mate which was great, but it's this season now and they ain't been getting a game because they obviously haven't shown enough in training or when they've been given minutes they've done the square sum of sod all.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

How many teams have just one striker in their squad?

Because that's all we'll have if Tosun goes

Richarlison is not a striker remember

we simply must replace him if he leaves

 

[Nymzee]

Everyone does that

Aguero and Jesus get injured - who plays?

Kane and Llorente - who plays?

 

[AndyC]

Walcott has played up front too.

And been effective there too for both Arsenal and England.

He might not be a striker but he’s played there most of the season for all intents and purposes he is a striker for Everton.
