Oumar Niasse

He nearly missed an open goal for his second

Seemed like a good finish to me? If he nearly missed a few of the other goals were near misses too

Very generous. Right in the top corner from 7 yards very close to being blocked by the defender when he had the whole goal to aim at.

Was that match being filmed from the moon?

I might be generous to him, but remembering back to when I used to play myself you use to finish those one touch balls on instinct - not calculation.

You might be right, but I'm happy for the fella it went in - Lineker scored a lot of scrappy/lucky goals as well in his career - no comparison intended.

Edit: Watched it again a few times - to me it's just a good finish.

If he didnt aim it into the corner it would have been blocked by the defender....

A goal is a goal, seemingly every one of his goals so far has been "rubbish". You dont get any more points for scoring better goals.

some nice footwork by niasse there for the third goal

....regardless of his goals I get the impression he's just not wanted at the club. There's something not right with the transfer and perhaps every time he sets foot in FF it's a reminder of something very wrong.

Not sure what gave you that impression?!!!!

...stating the obvious, I know. I just feel there's more to this than the player simply not being very good.

 

[deipnosophist]

There is something about him that suggests he's a mix of Everton's Kone and Barca's Lionel (anagrammatically speaking)

One thing I also can't understand is how the club in general have frozen him out of marketing too. If he's done something really bad or unforgivable then he would be sacked as @evertony says above, but then why is he not in any articles or reports. No photos or headlines for his hat trick shows that he's been officially frozen out.

There's no mystery to it mate. Koeman has enough respect for himself and for Everton that he just wants to draw a line under something that is at best a colossal error of judgement, and at worst a filthy piece of business that shames our club.

It's like you're highly regarded in your field and get taken on to turn around a failing enterprise. Day one you see some egregious evidence of incompetence from the previous regime - are you just going to take that in your stride and accommodate it? Of course you're not, you're going to lash it right out of there as an absolute priority.

 

[evertony]

Great to see his teammates congratulating him on his hatrick....obvious he's still part of the team spirit from that.

Hes not in the first team squad because he is seen as below standard, nothing more. Just because we overpaid for him doesn't mean there were any dodgy dealings. His agent is in constant contact with the club to persuade them to keep him. If dodgy dealings were true then surely his agent would be trying to move him again?
