2024/25 Youssef Chermiti

There are 9 games left mate. He might start 2 at a push. Is that the sample size that will convince Moyes that we only need 2 strikers next season and Chermiti (having been injured for 8 months of this season) should be one of them?

I’ll answer now: No.

He's 'competing' with

DCL = Leaving
Broja = Crap
Beto = Current starter


Then, when Moyes used 1 CF in the past, did he have 3 senior players on the books?

I'd say a 1st choice + Chermiti + an u21

2 starts maximum I reckon.

And relying on a player that has just had a bad injury..? Something that has continually bitten us on the arse.
 
Looks a prospect but one that would benefit from a loan to get lots of game time next season.
I’m surprised folk are labelling Broja as crap.. I’ve been at Goodison Park for his last two appearances and he’s been lively, excellent control, skills and awareness (basically a proper footballer!). Would really like him to stay for another year if we can get him on a loan basis to manage injury risk. No harm in reevaluating at the end of next season as his value will be considerably less to Chelsea after this injury hit season.
 
We are in a tough spot right now in terms of does moyes try to keep going like we are, with the players he is currently using, or does he start to play these fringe players a lot more to see if they are up to the task. I.e chermiti getting a whole 45 minutes, patterson getting 30 minutes in a game and starting alcaraz each game now?
I wouldnt be against moyes saying hes going to see what the other players offer until the end of the season.
 

I would 1000% start him over Broja, as obviously we need to find out what he has. Let him come off the bench a couple more games, and then you have to get him at least a couple starts. Either Beto scores goals and you let Beto continue to start to find out what you have in him, or if he struggles you start Chermiti the rest of the season. It would be insane...but its almost the part where you would like to give each just 1 half, because its such a big position to fill for next year.

Is it tough? We’re going nowhere either direction. It’d be criminal to come out of this season unsure on what everyone in the squad can do. Chermiti should get a handful of starts.

Was bizarre for him to get on the pitch over Chermiti.

….you’re a goal down in a big game, you look at the bench and you make your decision. I can think the only plausible reason is that Moyes thought Broja the better option.

I hoped Chermiti would be the choice, simply because it’d be a positive indication we might have a decent player on our hands. He really needs to be making an impact now.

He's essentially a Portuguese Calvert-Lewin, albeit brought in a little more expensively: a relative unknown, tall, athletic centre forward brought in not as a starter but to develop into a good player.

I agree with you, he needs to be making an impact now / next season, but given we surely will be bringing in a new starting centre forward, it'll likely be very difficult for Cherms to dislodge a new signing and make the position his own.

I think a successful season for him in 25/26 is making an impact from the bench and getting himself ahead of Beto (if he stays) as first backup, as well as grabbing a handful of goals over the season.

I think you are both right really.

I think he has a higher "ceiling" than DCL, but it doesn't automatically mean he reaches it. We should definitely be signing a starting centre forward, but Chermiti can and should be trying to push to become number 1 alongside that. All that means is we have 2 excellent strikers, which is better than 1.
 
Should get some start for fitness and to assess him.
He’s been here two seasons, is halfway through his contract, and I can barely remember him playing let alone doing anything useful.
