Against teams sitting back? Yes. He shows no aptitude for breaking down a congested area of him. He had to go ahead of the ball last night to the edge of the box to crack open a bit of space for a chance.
GB would disagree

Tbf ross holding the ball is one thing, but he moves the team forward allowing others to participate in the attack.I have never heard of a team that moves the ball "too quickly"... are you trying to say that ross holding the ball is actually a talent? Or a skill? Lol
Klaassen will be good for us in the end I think, but we need players around him that compliment him. It's kinda pointless playing a neat one-two if the player then chooses to pass it backwards to the defence because nobody is supporting the attack

He put some tackles in as well I was sceptical off him based on what little I have seen, however after watching him properly for a full game he is a proper footballer.

Amuses me this already
Loads of people who had misconceptions about the kind of player he is and hadn't really seen much of him having a moan
He isn't all that creative. He isn't going to take the ball in deep positions and dictate the game or ping passes all over the place, nor is he going to fly into tackles or beat men
He's a v intelligent player. Most of his touches are 1st time and he doesn't take a 2nd touch unless he needs to, and combines that with timing of his runs into the box and movement - that's how he scored so many goals in Holland
He might take a bit of time to get up to the pace of the game in England but he's a really good player. On a different level of football intelligence to more or less everyone in the squad currently with the possible exception of Rooney.

He was always looking for space, could of had two tap ins if players squared it.

Passing soon after he gets it.I have never heard of a team that moves the ball "too quickly"
You never heard of "La Pausa"?
The best playmakers all had/have that: the ability to hold and hold until the movement ahead is in place for the killer pass.
To do that you have to be able to screen and/or ride a challenge to maintain possession. Klaassen hasn't got it.

It's both mate dembele at spurs is amazing at it Ross has a similar ability to hold the ball under pressure it's a talent not associated with British players.I have never heard of a team that moves the ball "too quickly"
Last night Rooney & baines who I'm sure you wouldn't argue against being excellent footballers with real footballing awareness were consistently frustrated by the movements of teammates meaning they often had to try & hold the ball Too long waiting for an option, turn back & keep it simple or give it away.
This scenario has plagued Ross throughout his Everton career I'm not defending the occasions when Ross hesistates to release the ball when an option is on as that is clearly an issue however I'd hope you can understand the point.
Barkley taking an age on the ball was a good thing, apparently.
Gareth Bale is lightning quick!

I'm guessing from some of the comments here that the resident forum mouth breather doesn't like Klaassen?
Good - this makes him my new favourite player
Davek is dead. Long live Davyk

Definitely mate. Thought he played alrite yesterday few misplaced passes aside. Bags of energy and got himself in some good positions. Can see why he scored a load for ajax last season
