He's a bit of a dramatic weirdo this fella.

Yep. Find him unbearable most of the time.

Really don't understand the hatred of him. He's not overly talented so why do people hate him? He tries his best for us and has been a very very good servant, especially for a free transfer fee and has scored a lot of important goals. I understand fans hating players who don't put a shift in, but ones who don't have a lot of talent but make the most of it, i don't understand.

I think hes well liked. Just not the level of player we aspire to.

He will talk about his premier league days like uncle rico from Napoleon Dynomite

I like him as a person but not as a player. I don't mind when he comes on to support the striker but whenever he starts I just sigh and look at our teamsheet and think "yeh we're not a Top 4 XI". He has some ability but nothing close to what I want to see in an Everton shirt let alone starting Premier League games.

If Everton is an engine, Naismith is a spanner in its works.

Somewhat harsh... more like a nagging knocking noise nobody can quite figure out where it's come from and how to get rid of it

...I just wanted to use the word spanner in relation to Naismith. :oops:

Hah! He's fine as a second-striker to come on and nick a goal in the last 20 - especially against teams we are carving open. Don't think anyone can deny that he is clinical when he gets in positions. But he's not a winger and should not be starting when we have a fully fit/avaliable team.

He remains what he should have been all along: an impact sub you put on when chasing a game. He's a passenger in a team looking to carry out a game plan. If that game plan isn't working and time is running out, he's the feller who can knock the opposition out of their comfort zone by giving him a free role.
