He didn’t do everything right, but he’s exactly what we’ve been missing. Someone willing to run at a defence and carry the ball up the pitch.

20 games in the premier league and not while playing in the lower leagues...
Makes no sense how people can rate him when they can use their eyes and the stats...
re-read my post, I asked if you liked McGeady...I didn't 'trawl' through your posts...
Just stating the obvious
Ok...so lets say that Tosun Is a good a header as Ferguson was. I reckon he would score goals from good deliveries...
Snag is (as evidenced against the RS) Bolasie doesn't even look where he crosses...its almost like since learning to play football hes been taught to watch his feet while he does little pointless tricks and then to punt it in the general direction of the box.
I'm certain he will get some assists with Tosun and they may look world class balls too...but its going to be at random.
On the point about him relieving pressure...I kind of agree but I think if we had DCL in his position he could have run the ball out and got tackled a lot too...its not like he actually did anything, you know? When lookman came on...that's another story, some of the things lookman has done, weve never seen bolasie do in his career.
If were being hypothetical about the team...next season;
On the left side we will have Onyekuru joining and have Lookman there already. For me, those two can rotate.
In attacking midfield we have Sigurdsson and also Vlasic and Dowell so were stocked there also.
On the right of midfield we have Bolasie and Lennon, neither of whom are good enough.
Personally, I would offload both Bolasie and Lennon + sign a real talented creative wide player then use either Vlasic/Dowell as cover there also as both are able to play on the right side.
That way we have all positions covered with 2 players and have 2 'star' players out of 3 positions and 4 u21 players getting experience and improving...

Fans can criticise Moyes for a lot of things, but not his overall business in the transfer market.
He brought some duds too. It's easy for fans to criticise as I expect it's not an easy thing to do well. But we've not performed well for the money spent recently.

This more or less mirrors my own thoughts on Bolasie.
He has qualities that will make him a threat against teams that like to keep the game open and defend with a high line, but he wouldn't get a sniff at any the clubs that Everton aspire to catch.
Criminal waste of £27m, but hopefully the squad will soon improve to a point where he's no longer considered part of the strongest XI.
Applies to all bar pickford I suppose. Teams should always aspire to catch anyone above them but it becomes very difficult when they are spending £50m upwards for players and paying them between 150k - 250k per week. Every position in the Everton team can be replaced with better players and that is what a manager should be looking at all the time but priorities come first. I like Bolasie I confess but some on here are expecting Ronaldo. Even Ronaldo would get slated on here if he failed in a take on. Bolasie has played less than 20 games for us so let him be for a while. Lookman is inconsistent but shows promise. He had a decent game but no better than Bolasie in the Liverpool game. But then again that's my opinion and my opinion won't be swayed even if you start frothing at the mouth.

Every manager has signed duds, even the most successful manager ever, Ferguson bought some absolute dross to United. Of course the key is signing more successful signings than duds, moyes was very much in the credit with regard to this.

Was it just me who thought he was s decent outlet against the RS and seemed to perform well without crapping his pants like most of our players do? His pace meant that at least one of their players couldn’t engage in their mad pressing and for the first Derby in a while we actually had comfortable possession at times because they couldn’t commit everyone to swarming us.

What a mad thing to say.
Id say the willingness of some of our fans to accept such a dross footballer and hail his bang average performance as one of our best of the night is exactly why we will continue to lose games like this.
Acceptance of average is unacceptable for me and I expect to see a higher calibre of footballer in my Everton than the useless twit that is Bolasie.
Lookman did more in his cameo than Bolasie has done in the last 3 games hes been back for!

Lookman did more did he? If you say so. Don't let hatred of players consume you to the point of delirium. Lookman had a good cameo and so far Lookman is average or below. Potential is good. Have you seen the rest of the Everton team....are any of them playing above average at the moment? No!.
You are entitled to your opinion of course like I am disagreeing with you. Don't exaggerate though as it's unbefitting. Bolasie had a decent game and helped us out in an attacking sense. That is my opinion which of course is not blinkered by hatred. Who do you actually think may have done a better job on the right in an attacking sense? Who do you think would have been better in that position without becoming another defender? The first thing Lookman did when he came on was to lose the ball and I bet you said 'unlucky lad' whereas Bolasie loses the ball and it's 'useless bar steward, your crap'. Both of these players helped us on the front foot but like any winger lost the ball also. You cannot have a safe winger as they would be deemed as ineffective whereas Bolasie has a go. We are never going to agree but I see a wingers success as little as 50 - 50 with take ons and then we need a striker ready in position for a cross that may come instead of being behind play.
