I'm absolutely 100% DCL's biggest critic... when he's on the wing, or Wing back.

I sat and moaned the Gwladys Street down screaming for him to be played in the middle of a three with Sandro and Rooney in the second half, and well he was absolutely sublime.

I have to question why Koeman consistently plays this lad on the wing, when he's a very talented forward. We're looking for a big name target man, yet this lad could easily be the solution.

Very very creative for the second half, caused a very rigid stoke defence all sorts of problems and was just great.

Now Koeman, you're the boss, but please Christ, start the Europa match with the second half team, and let's wipe Hajduk away, so we can rest a few of the key players in the second leg.

One of koemans problems is he plays players out of position. Tactically he's quite poor
 
Dare I say, he reminds me of Harry Kane in his early days. A long way to go, but I saw something in him in that second half for the first time.

Haven't rated him at all up until this game. To the point that I thought Koeman was mad, and had some sort of blindspot.
 

Basically a Danny cadermarteri

Enthusiastic but ultimately not at the level

Although I do find it weird why he (amongst others) gets played out of position at Everton

I think DCL is a far better footballer than Danny Boy , he just needs to hulk up , become an 'orrible C-Word and be played in his correct position .
Definitely shouldn't be relied upon to be our big man up front though . For this season at least .
We do need a nasty piece of work there . I miss our Scottish hitmen .

I agree he's better but he reminds me of cadermarteri in that he tries so hard and puts the effort in but ultimately he's not at the level we need

Saying that I'm not sure why he is being played as a right wing back today.
 
Stronger than he looks and has a good touch, his hold up play is really good for a young lad. He makes some excellent runs and is good in the air. Plus he presses well.

He could do with a bit of strenght and speed training, plus his awareness is lacking sometimes but this will come with experience.

He may take a year or two but he will 100% make a very good striker in future.
 
DCL as a centre forward is decent,, out wide or wing back Koeman is setting him up for a barrage of abuse!! play him central or don't play him at all
 

I think he could develop into a top player.
He is not fully ready yet but his cross for the goal and the way he out muscled Zouma, who is a very promising player himself, for his run and shot was very encouraging.
