Ademola Lookman

[Eggs]

Whether he gets to Hazards level is open to question, however he does look like he is in that mould.

What I really like for Everton though, is we have a manager now who will expect and demand they reach the highest levels. Moyes was probably a bit hard and too cautious, while Martinez probably too soft.

..I think it also reflects how the DoF role is working. SW and RK agree the 'type' of footballers they need to fit the Koeman team model, SW then goes and finds them. Koeman wants Lookman to "work between the lines" in much the same way Hazzard does.

I'm not for one minute suggesting Lookman will reach Hazzard's level but watching his goal again this morning reminded me that we have to unearth that quality in the top third to truly bridge the gap to the next level.

He was getting into some great positions yesterday, but nobody played the killer ball to him. He looks really good. He's got that low centre of gravity thing going on, the utter menace.

Still got a bit to learn but looks the real deal.

Like the way he tracks back as well.

 

[loooweee]

You guys are hyping him way too much

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He and Mirallas will have a good competition for that support striker/winger spot. Good to see that they both contributed positively to the game.

Looks a great signing so far. Lively style, has the skills, wants the ball, works to fit into a role the manager asks him to (hinting at a good football brain).
Was saying at the game yesterday that he doesn't look like a kid who's just stepped up two divisions - he's slotted right in, and it seems the team have taken to him and see him as one of them. Hope he just gets better and better!

Williams should have played them in when he went on that run in the first half, he would have had a tap in

You're probably right.

*sigh*

You know if he was playing for City, Utd or RS the papers would have backpages dedicated to every single touch he makes.

100%

That bang average player Woodburn scored a tap in against a championship side in the league cup and you would think it was the second coming of christ

Won't be long before the press simultaneously knock him as not good enough but also call for him to move onto City/United for the good of his career. We've seen the exact same thing with Stones and Barkley. When Barkley plays well you hear nothing from the press, if he has a bad game they're on him like a rash.

Lost his man for their second, if I remember correctly, so good decision to hook him. He'll learn that side of the game though. On the ball he looks excellent, dead positive, good shot, travels with the ball. Got mad skillz too.

Could be the first gem Walsh has uncovered for us.

True. Discounting Gueye through as he was a bit more of a known quantity from the Villains.

 

[Nymzee]

Ease him into the team just like with Davies and Holgate. They're just kids, there's no rush, they'll all be starters or thereabouts next season.
