2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[kev]

Deserved MOM performance.
Not the greatest player in the world but this man has remained utterly professional despite the disgraceful treatment from Koeman and the 'experts' on here who slated him mercilessly (you know who you are and I can't be bothered searching the vaults)

 

[LiamG]

Not only is he scoring but dare I say it but he's actually a better footballer than I thought.

He needs to start every game.

 

[ilikecheese]

Haha...the size of his head.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Haha.

Fair play to you Eggs.

The lad is hard. He’s earning some good money no doubt and could probably earn good money in lower leagues.

But he’s just not giving up. On a stage like this that’s inspirational. And for me, it says a lot about a person.

The way he handled the disgraceful treatment by koeman, his reintroduction by koeman and his reluctance to comment on koeman's sacking (even though I'm sure he would loved too and probably merited it)has not only won him admiration from evertonians, but the from the all the football fraternity.

 

[Death]

When he 180d into the space in the box and left the defender for dead. If messi did that .. as the old cleche goes.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Just watching a replay of the game now. So much of the good stuff that Oumar does goes unnoticed as well. He runs the channels, drags defenders wide, he's alert too when we are not in possession, and when he does get the ball he is always positive - running at defenders, often winning fouls.

Not the most talented footballer of all time, but I can imagine defenders would hate him - he's always moving and he never gives up.

 

[onlyme]

Bottle his desire and enthusiasm and make the rest of the prima donnas sip from his fountain of hope over hopelessness.

 

[matty1878]

Come on oumar player manager!

 

[Tin-Tin]

I imagine he'd score more if we actually created some chances for him. But fair play he makes his own luck

The only chance we created for him was the Bournmouth one, from the Davies pass. He makes the rest himself, even DCL's againat Chelsea was from Niasses hard work.

Scored 4 goals in 6 games in the league so far, not bad.

 

[Toffeelover]

Rom mark 2.

 

[billyblue80]

Puts in a shift, cares. Puts others to shame

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

The irony shouldn't be lost that today Oumar scored against the manager who last season helped save his English football career before it had barely started.

 

[jceverton]

Has to start every game up front for me. I said a while ago he'll get 12-15 goals this season and I stand by that. His work rate is immense, he never gives up and is always moving. I imagine he'd be a real pain in the arse to play against for a defender.

I also like the fact that when we got the pen he picked the ball up and carried it over to Baines and said here you go Leighton. Nice touch.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

He made me laugh today. Their keeper was about to take a goal kick and Oumar was hanging around in his box.

The other one was when Gomes was down injured and Niasse was the only Everton player over him, Rooney had to tell him to walk away. What a great human being he is.

 

[miff]

Basically we wouldn’t have won the game today without him.
He was the difference, the manager was pretty useless
