Oumar Niasse

Ironic cheers when actually managed his first touch if the game 15 mins or more in. Not a lone striker. Not entirely sure what his position is, but showed some pace at least.
 

Missed most of the game. Does he have decent pace?
Started a bit out of it, but grew into the game some decent link up with Barkley, not a lone striker, but no as bad as some have been saying ,pace wise not lightening.but quick enough, think with a bit of confidence might be OK,
Not sure at this stage be looks a 13 million player, but not a complete write off
 
in my opinion he could be our cedric bakambu

he's got the pace to beat defenders, he's constantly looking for options as soon as he gets the ball, he linked up really well with Barkley on a few occassions

he's willing to close down players off the ball

lukaku think's he's some ballon d'or winner with messi, neymar, ronaldo, suarez and bale all combined into one.

his arrogance stinks the place out, at least watching niasse give a crap running his tits off is a fresh breath of air for once. there's a player you might have heard of at leicester called Jamie Vardy who does the same thing.

Looked to have plenty. Pressed and ran his tits off. Still clearly not fit though...worked hard but was knackered when he was subbed.

For me he looked like he'd be best suited to playing off Rom as a second striker. Was very isolated by himself. When he got service to feet he was more impactful. Seemed lost in the air...can't remember him winning one long ball sent at him.

Oumar Niasse arrived to the sound of great expectation... striker was full of effort on his first Everton start but needs to prove worth

It was 27 minutes in to a run of the mill contest when the ball finally arrived at the feet of the third most expensive footballer in Everton’s history.

Oumar Niasse, a £13.5million signing from Lokomotiv Moscow on transfer deadline day in February, had waited nearly three months to make his first start for Everton but now – with Roberto Martinez electing to rest Romelu Lukaku – his opportunity had come.

For much of the opening exchanges, as Everton and Bournemouth traded a goal each, events had bypassed Niasse and the closest he had come to getting involved was jumping for a long ball from Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Oumar Niasse has done little to justify the £13.5million price tag Everton paid Lokomotiv Moscow in January

Niasse was handed his first start but the striker failed to make a meaningful impact in place of Romelu Lukaku

But then, just before the half hour, Everton launched a counter-attack and suddenly the ball made its way to the feet of Niasse: so he turned, looked up to see where his team-mates where and picked his pass. And gave it straight to Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter.

There has not been much laughter at Goodison Park in the second half of this dismal campaign – except for when Arouna Kone tried a bicycle kick against Southampton and missed completely – but there was laughing here.

Niasse – a Senegal international – arrived to the sound of great expectation and the promise that he would offer a different dimension to Lukaku, the club’s striking talisman. Since arriving, though, he has done nothing to suggest his transfer fee was money well spent.

Before Bournemouth arrived at Goodison, Niasse had played the grand total of 29 minutes in a handful of substitute cameo appearances. He never looked like scoring a goal in any of those games and his efforts during warm-ups raised eyebrows rather than suggested he would quicken the pulse.

Lukaku replaced Niasse after 60 minutes and moments later the Toffees regained the lead at Goodison Park

Martinez, whose future has been the subject of such scrutiny, took a gamble by playing Niasse here and that snap shot in the 27th minute epitomised his afternoon.

Out of tune, off the pace and, bluntly, not very good.

There was nothing wrong with the effort Niasse – who was the player Jose Mourinho had considered taking to Chelsea before his sacking last December – and there were a couple of neat, measured balls to Ross Barkley just before the interval that showed he was not completely hopeless.

But when, in the 60th minute, the electronic substitute board flickered into life and showed that No 10 would be replacing No 14, there was no surprise.

A huge ovation swept around this old stadium as Niasse departed the action but it was more to recognise that Lukaku was entering the fray.

Be under no doubt that Niasse has a huge job on his hands to ensure those cheers turn into acclaim rather than a sign of relief.
