2024/25 Jesper Lindstrom

He strikes me as a player that if paired with a good forward and number 10 he would see much better results. He wants to play one-twos and Doucoure, Beto & O'brien are ill suited to that style. I am hopeful we do keep him. Harrison cross the ball well today but he has played a ton more minutes and contributed less.

Quite. Issue with our recruitment we only have one genuine winger. Ndiaye prefers ten but can do well on the left, Mcneil and Lindstrom prefer central. So that leaves Harrison who is better on the left but never plays there. Poor squad building and recruitment
 

Lindstrom thrived at Frankfurt with lots of movement and interplay with the midfield and forward line - as long as we have Doucoure in AM or McNeil further matter then we are wasting what the lad does best, would like to see him starting with either Alcaraz or Ndiaye central (prefer to see Lindstrom there but as we have zero other RW options not really an option)

McNeil has played wide left his whole career.
It's only this season Dyche tried him as a 10
 

I appreciate the work he is doing defensively, he does a lot to shut down attacks coming down the wing. There is a very noticeable difference when he goes off

...but need to see more of his attacking threat. He seems to be getting on the ball too far away from the opposition goal. And so far, I haven't seen great link up play with him and O'Brien or our center mids. Maybe Alcaraz starting the center can get something going with him.
 
For where we are right now you could keep him or Harrison as a back up through necessity but you definitely wouldn't want both. Neither of them create enough or score goals. You're basically selecting them because they put in a shift.

Harrison has been tried and failed to deliver, Lindstrom is getting better so fore off Harrison and keep windstorm to see if he develops more

Has vastly improved his defensive game, he really gives 100%. His crossing and delivery was very poor tonight though, I really want him to be someone who become an Everton regular like any new player we pick up, but it was frustrating.

This is just about what is making him a "don't re-sign" for me. I like the player. You can never have enough players that can play both sides of the ball and have decent pace. His end product just isn't there. I hope it comes and he justifies us re-signing him. I really am a fan of Jesper the guy and Jesper the player.

Yeah me too. I'm on the fence, if he could get this side of his game sorted it's a no brainer. At least with Moyes in charge he'll actually get a chance to start working on this at training now, so I'm hopeful we will see an improvement by end of season.
