Oumar Niasse

[Groucho]

I can almost here the song now ...

Oumar Niasse, you are the love of my life.
Oumar Niasse, I heard you hit your wife *
Oumar Niasse, I want a bald head too

*allegedly

I don't think we have to say allegedly on this one do we?

He was arrested, she just dropped the charges.

Ah right, I missed that bit some time over the Summer !

I may be wrong. I've been wrong before.

This needs to a staple in the goodison song book. Get the man in the lower gwladys to kick it off on his megaphone

A lot of people on here suggesting that Niasse deserves a shot in the first team as we surely can't do any worse than present. I watched the U23 game tonight, he played the first hour.
From what I saw, and in my humble opinion, Koeman has got it spot on.
Niasse simply doesn't move or react like a professional footballer, he looks very awkward and clumsy with the ball at his feet. He miscontrols the ball time and time again, and seems to fall over way too easily under no real pressure.

They all do that Jb, but he keeps scoring, more than Calvert-Lewin who is being bigged up by some as a possible option...a bit of a last ditch option of the 'what have we got to lose' type option but an option none the less.

Like a new signing.

If he scores a goal for us this year, I'll buy a replica kit with his name on the back.

 

[DRINGO]

didnt the russians call him whats translates to "the lucky player" as the ball bounces of him and goes in ! wouldn't it be nice to watch someone work hard for a change ! and maybe score off his shin ? could you imagine how hard the fella would work if he got another chance ? could just be a spark the rest of the team need ! a true fairy tale story from darkness to the light ! to inspire !

 

[blueloon]

Hold on. Isnt it 6 goals in 11 games?

Off the top of my head I think it's 6 goals in 4 PL2 games, he hasn't played all 11 games , plus a couple of funny cup games so probably 6 in 6 games .

 

[mkrudden]

Bring him in.

 

[Lanolin]

My point is that people have judged him on about 35 minutes of football.

If you watched Lukaku for the first time in your life yesterday for 35 minutes (at any time in that game) you would say he was a terrible player - cant control a ball, gets pushed off it, passes are misplaced etc.
The fact that we have seen a lot more of him and know what he can do helps form our opinion.

Niasse hasnt had that chance.

I've said similar in the youth team thread but what on earth is it that makes people think we - the fans - have a right to decide whether someone is good enough or not? Two managers and two sets of coaches have decided that Niasse is not good enough to play. That's their job, they're professionals and they have made a decision based on his training, his performances in reserve games, and his limited time on the pitch in the premier league. The idea that somebody should get games just so we can decide whether or not we agree is absolutely hilarious.

then you have unsworth who's working with him every day describing him as "outstanding" ? who's lying ?

Excellent but surely it's 'I want 50k too'

Someone give the lad a locker

 

[boris]

Haven't we already got a centre forward who doesn't contribute anything to our build up play, has a shocking first touch and doesn't like heading a ball yet has a great goal scoring rate, playing in the first team.

Surely there's nothing wrong with having another at least on the bench.

Well I don't think anybody is 'lying' but I think you might be reading a teeny little bit too much into his comments. A 2 minute google search tells me that over the last year David Unsworth has said:

It was Bryan Oviedo who was singled out for particular praise.

The Costa Rican international put in a great shift for the reserves, and Unsworth described his performance as “outstanding.”

Unsworth Praises 'Outstanding Attitude' After U21s Victory

David Unsworth described taking charge of Everton as the proudest moment of his life but ... 'My relationship with Roberto is outstanding.

31 Aug 2016 - David Unsworth was beaming with pride after his Everton team got ... Unsworth explained: “It was an outstanding performance from everybody.

It seems pretty clear that 'outstanding' is Unsworth's version of Roberto's 'phenomenal' and can mean anything from really good to absolutely abysmal.
