Yannick Bolasie

[DRM]

Him and Gueye are proving how little a lot of people on here know about football

But that's the trademark of any supporter.

 

[DRM]

He has been fantastic for us! A dangerous part of our attack that will be trouble for our opponents. Him and Rom get along great and work well together on the pitch. Opponents will fear the dreaded RomBo

I like that name.
Especially with Sly being one of our supprters. Maybe a hit film is now on the way.

They're all at the beginning of the season. In fact they have a month almost of PL game time in their legs too.

They're as fit now as they'll be the whole season, I'd say. Just at that point when preseason is in their legs and the extra cup games dont start tiring them with a couple of games per week.

Fitness is there right now; something Koeman said was 'almost there' this week.

I cant see us squeezing anything more from this lot and better quality is required.

Wrong again??

Wrong again??

Yep, another assist for the 'headless chicken'

 

[chopper6]

I said same thing when we signed him - because of how direct & unpredictable he is, he tends to occupy 2-3 opposition players, meaning he creates space for others, which is clearly evident. Fantastic signing

I've seen this feller play now in Palace colours and for Everton and my opinion hasn't changed one iota. If you see a top professional footballer there (and at £25M he should be judged as such) then you must see a different player to me. He has pace and a trick, but he's very wasteful given that he is the focus of almost all our attacking intent.

I don't agree, 'headless chicken' type wingers cannot cross, get very few assists and struggle to keep possession or make clever runs. They are basically lightning quick and just put their head down and run in a straight line.

Bolasie is far far better than that. We've seen through balls, crosses, driving runs, creating chances for us. He's good defensively, strong in possession, and seems to be a team player who will perform for 90 minutes. Yes on occasion he prefers to make a chance rather than mindlessly keep possession but for me he's proving to be a great buy.

 

[snipellis11]

I think he's great, he's start well and looks to have settled in very well, massive threat when he goes forward and I think he's one of the main reasons why we look dangerous going forward.

 

[everton2004]

I'm sure I remember someone on here saying Bolasie was a rubbish signing as he was lazy, couldn't cross, couldn't shoot and has no end product.

He's a massive upgrade on that selfish divvy Mirallas, I'll give you that. But do you think Bolasie "gets his head up" and plays?! I cant think of a moment when he has so far. And his crosses aren't usually targeted, they're dumped into the general area he thinks Lukaku (or anyone else in the box) will be.

Yeah, I really wish Koeman had spent the money more wisely, like Roberto would have.

£25m buys you nearly two Omar Niasses after all.

Wow. you've seen him destroy West Brom and Sunderland at their place, and get a goal yesterday and all you can see his problems. Amazing

Your havin a laff if you dont acknowledge that Martinez added value to this squad with signings and bringing through talent.

From the Niasse thread

This feller is going to be our Bolasie.

I'm going to make a prediction now, so bookmark this:

Niasse will tear Liverpool apart in the derby and also score the winner.
