For overall suiting the system I think DCL is the correct option. However if there was just one chance in a game I would think Tosun would be most likely to score.
 
Depends on the situation as they're totally different types of striker.
I agree. I think Tosun is the only striker we have who is any way comfortable playing with his back to goal. Both Richarlison and DCL like space to run into to use their pace, and you'd think Richarlison would start ahead of him in those type of games.

Tomorrows game is the sort of game I would start with Tosun. I expect Cardiff to defend deep and park the bus. But DCL is usually the better option from the bench, especially in games we are seeing out.

I just want all our strikers to score as many as they can. I don't care who comes out on top.
 
Of course, and like many younger, talented players with strong physical attributes, he has moments for sure. But just because he gets his head on balls, doesn't mean he has the quality to do much with them (balls!). Just because he can go by someone and/or knock them over, doesn't mean it results in anything.
Figured I'd pop my response in the DCL thread to not go to far off topic in the Richarlison one.

Anyway I agree and I think that's why he isn't getting much game time at the moment. I really don't know if he will ever find the consistency to play at this level but it's starting to feel more and more like he won't be finding it at Everton. Maybe a loan would be helpful and certainly teams like Palace and Huddersfield could do worse considering their striker situations but what he really can't afford is to sit on the bench the rest of the season like he is now.
 

I know it’s a very unpopular shout but I’d have him in for the derby.

I would rather have Richarlison terrorising TAA, for a start, which means we need someone else through the middle. I just think that DCL - whether intentionally or just part of his general rawness - would be more unpredictable and therefore a bit of a handful for their centre halves. I think he can open up a bit of space for Richarlison, Siggy, etc to do something even if he isn’t that effective on the ball.

Van Dyke would die from laughing if he started.

Have to say I think Tosun playing with his back to goal, is one of his poorest attributes,

If it’s unpredictabilaty you want, Oumar is the striker for you. He surprises even himself constantly.

Yep, he's quite poor at it. I think it's the number one reason he was benched. He couldn't hold off CBs and we had several giveaways trying to play the ball in to him.

It's what we are missing a bit up front, at least as a tactical option. DCL could maybe eventually be the guy, but he's far from it now.
