See, I don't find it that shocking - lad hadn't played for a month or something because of the break in Russia etc etc... it's taken him 3 and a half months and he's still "not close" and is probably gonna play U21 games.... what?
Genuinely, what?!

Genuinely, what?!
Niasse sums up the end of Martinez's reign as Everton manager - confused and useless. He's really threw this kid under a bus and left it open to all kinds of interpretation with his 50% fit bollocks when he threw him on a few weeks before arrival such a crucial moment. Niasse might be crap, but the way he's not been used or even given a run out for the u21's is ridiculous.
What exactly does he do then? Surely at this point if he's this unfit - you make the player stay behind, do extra work, so he gets up to speed. It's basically common practice even at lower levels, so I find it unacceptable for a Prem team, with supposed quality coaching staff, with a supposed PHYSIO (!) as the manager!
He could have played him in about 3 u21's now plus given him far more minutes when we were cruising away against Villa. Like you said of he isn't fit enough, make the lazy beaut do triple training sessions. Tell him to pitch a tent at FF because he aint going to see his Pookie in Manchester until he learns to trap a frigging ball.
13.5m, 9 weeks later and barely a peep and brushed under the carpet hoping no one will demand an answer as to why he isn't up to speed.

Maybe he got an attitude problem in training and not doing enough to force a start.
If that's the case fine the little tit every week whilst making him do 4 training sessions a day. Bobbys always chats wham about the right characters so surely he didn't get it wrong with a players personality!

I missed Jags' goal because I had this attitude.

It's bizzare, utterly bizzare, not seen anything like it at this club since Kroldrup, 13m and he's had about 4 subs for 20mins, yet he's on the bench every game.
If he's on the bench he should be able to manage half a game by now.

How does Niasse go from a few mins here and there to nothing yet Kone goes from bombed out to a start. Martinez does this a lot with Miralles, Deulofeu and Kone.

I agree with this ... surely he should of been playing in under 21s games .. its the logical way
My lads take on it all, Niasse won't get anymore minutes on the pitch this season, even though he'll be on the bench.
If Martinez is still with us next season he will big up Niasse pre - season, saying Niasse has been 'phenomenal' the new season will start with no Niasse, Martinez will then come out and say he will be playing with the U21s to get some match fitness.

Mate don't be so optimistic.
He still has to get match fitness for the U21's before he can get match fitness from the U21's for the Seniors.
If both are still with us though we are going to have to at least watch him during a pre season game.
Should be playing today, crap or not this was a chance for him to get up and running and to give everyone at the very least a good laugh if he really is crap.
