2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[nsno-chris]

I couldn't blame him to be honest!

My take on Everton in 2017/18 so far...

+ Our best defender has been Wayne Rooney
+ Our biggest attacking threat has been Cuco Martina
+ We should never have sold a 37 year old Gareth Barry who although still a good player is at least 5 years past his prime.
+ We miss the universally derided Ramiro Funes Mori.
+ Our worst signing ever and comedy figure, Oumar Niasse may be our best option to score a few goals.
+ We have spent all summer trying to sign the best dead ball specialist in the league only to then give him nobody to aim for and not have a proper position for him to play in. Oh that's if he actually takes set pieces (which have been rubbish so far).
+ We have signed three captains of club and country (Rooney, Klaassen, Martina) and have less leadership than ever.
+ A possible answer is to rely on 2 teenagers who have about 30 top flight games between them (And Davies has like 99% of those games).

What an utter shambles.

To be fair, Rooney is a fantastic left back.

But hard to argue with any of that. Something is off

I recall Rom near pissing himself when asked about the new guys first session. Having watched him for the u23 he would of offered more upfront than dcl tonight.

Time for Niasse. Bring it Oumar! Need somebody with a appetite to score by shooting at the opponents goal. Sounds basic but we haven't a clue the past three games. We do know how to frigging pass the back back to our goal and put Pickford under pressure.

The bar has sank so low that Oumar is being touted as a saviour

That's fighting talk in the streets of Hull!

I wouldn't call him a saviour just yet, but at least the lad has got the right attitude in him and wants to play for us, unlike the majority of our team at Atalanta.

For me he has to try something different, worry is if he doesn't at least give Niasse a go soon its a sign of severe stubbornness something which never helps a manager, especially a struggling one

As soon as you see this page bumped you know it's time to go asleep. The lad is championship: at best.

He is not going to make any of our problems magically better.

...and you think that all of our players are better than 'Championship at best' ?

Which of our strikers do you think is better than that on current showings

I know he's not good enough, we all know he's not good enough, his last performance at Old Trafford was easily one of the worst I've ever seen....I still think he should be given a run out on Sunday.

Sad times.

Who would thought this is what £200mill spent would look like

Might give us a few chuckles along the way though which is a lot better than the depressing pile of turd we witnessed last night

The bottom line in all of this is that Koeman has very publicly said he isn't up to it. Even if Niasse might be worth a go i just can't see it working in this current situation with Koeman as the manager.

If results carry on like this JC he might just have to have a throw of the dice and bring him into the fold just for his sheer unpredictability.

No doubt Sunday it will have to be a 9-1-0 formation and hope beyond hope that we can punt a clearance into their net from kick off and defend for the other 94 minutes.
