Gerard Deulofeu

It's a shame he doesn't seem comfortable on the left. Half the reason I think we end up playing only one winger most of the time is that all of our natural wide players prefer playing on the right. He has the tools to be great cutting in from the left, I think, but he never looks like he has any idea what he wants to do when he goes over there. Still better than Lennon on the left, though.
 
Gobsmacked that Lennon started over Mirallas today, still.

No doubt Lennon will be dropped for the weekend... for Naismith.

:lol:
 
He was our only threat all game. Your taking rubbish mate. He had a go, if we had any decent strikers we would of walked away with a point at least
I didn't say he played badly, my problem with him is that if he lies down he is a cheat, the dive he took when put through was embarrassing. Concentrate on playing football not cheating.
 
I have a possible irrational man crush on him.

He excites me more than any other current Everton player. He's exactly the type of player I love to see playing for us and he's going to turn into some player indeed. Shortly too.

I hope he keeps on diving too.

.....he naturally hits fine crosses, often early getting half a yard on his full back or hitting the by-line and fizzing it across. The advantages of him playing on the left are probably outweighed by what we would lose.

To be fair when he was here last time there were times he didn't have a clue what to with it on the right and he has learnt that since. He may learn to adapt to play on the left given time as he does appear to be a quick learner.

It's much more fashionable at the moment to have a left footer on the right or a right footer on the left so they can cut inside but I agree Deulofeu is a classic winger who likes to get in crosses and should always be on the right. Kev who likes to cut inside and shoot and never gets to the bi line should be on the left.
 
Tough game for him, he's still boss. Pretty apparent in games when the squad turns to him because we've ran out of ideas.

His decision making will only get better over time, and he's by far our most threatening player - we looked way better with him and Mirallas on the pitch together though, so this needs to be worked.

He will struggle, he will whinge and he will dive. But by god I love him and ya'll should too because he's magic y'know.
