2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[Paulie]

For all his faults he's a great finisher. He's been lethal with the little opportunities he's had.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

He’s better than any of us realised. Whatever limitations he has he’s been one of our most important players this season despite his lack of game time.

I'm sure I've heard it somewhere without his goal contribution we would be in the bottom three, unbelievable and phenomenal fact!

 

[Cels]

89 minutes a goal suggests he is our best player.

Not at all. It just shows he can score, which is what we want from a forward.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

In a squad where very little is working, binning off one of the players that does occasionally spark us into action would be a nonsense.

Glad Sam thinks the same way.

 

[Fletch]

Daniel day Lewis to play oumar?

Tom Cruise to play Leighton Baines with a fake accent.

 

[Walsall Blue]

Oumar Niasse

623 Mins played

7 Goals scored

89 Mins per goal

Saw the above stats for Oumar. Personally I'm impressed, but I guess an average of a goal per game isn't good enough for some.

Unbelievable mate .What do people want a striker to do these days .....

I think the answer may lie in similar debates in the Lukaku thread...

 

[ArtetaMoney]

He knows where the goal is, that alone makes him better than 95% of our players.

 

[deipnosophist]

His 'never say die' attitude is in pleasant contrast to that assumed by his (mostly) spineless team-mates.
Kudos Oumar

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The sheer and utter irony of this dude rescuing our season is about as 'Everton that' as it gets really.

Nice one Oumar

 

[Lowste]

I would like to see him have a run of games, the bloke can score and that is a massive asset

Apparently that's not good enough( for some). Everton that.

 

[Papa Shango]

It is weird that people think he is a decent player just because he scored some goals.

Poor positional knowledge, vision, finishing and team-play.

Players like Niasse can save a game or two but you can’t form an offense plan by focusing them.

I think he is behind Cenk and DCL.

Poor finishing? Really? He takes most of his chances and has always had that ability.

His positional play is good too. He is good at getting past offside traps and making space for himself.

And as for team play, he is a great team player as he makes himself available and gees the team on.

Its weird that people still hold on to some bizarre football snobbery when the truth is right in front of them.

He is a useful player and we should focus on what he can do rather than what he cant. Every player has strengths and weaknesses.

 

[Walsall Blue]

You can score without know where to move but you can’t lead an attack or be the center in offensive formation without knowing where\when to stay and go.

What I am saying is Niasse may be a decent sub who gets in the game and scores by the chaos he created in opposition’s defence but you can’t create an offensive plan with him as sole striker. On the other hand, Cenk and even DCL has this ability.

And here is me thinking a strikers job is to hit the net. Ffs what do I know.

Let's not forget that game he started recently...was it vs Liverpool? It was like having 10 men.
An impact sub, fine. But to start? Not for me.
