Who would have made more of a contribution since January?

[Zatara]

Was Allardyce right to allow Lookman to go on loan (whether to Leipzig or Derby) or should he have started him ahead of Bolasie from January?

I believe there are 2 questions here;

1 -- Would we have benefitted from Lookman staying and playing ahead of Bolasie?

2 -- Would Lookman have benefitted from starting or has he been better off going on loan?

Overall, should we have kept him and started him or was Allardyce right to allow him to go?

 

[Tez]

Better off on loan. Wouldn't have had a prayer in this team under this manager. Would have lead to the Goodison boo boys turning on him like they have Davies.

Very well advised to take the course of action he did.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Allardyce was never right with anything

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

When it looked like he had to go on loan I was glad it was Leipzig and not Derby, it would have been a waste of time going to Derby because he’s too good for the championship.

Bolasie is absolutely gash by the way, and a dead funny gash as well.

 

[Lelouch]

He needs to learn to do the defensive side of the game no matter how good you are and also learn not to do silly skills like Bolasie at the halfway line.

 

[ilikecheese]

I think keeping young, promising players as far away from Sam's anti football style is probably for the best.

 

[billyblue80]

Yes he should definitely had more minutes after the derby but then Sam doesn't seem to rate him bizarrely. So he was forced to ask for a loan. The fact he's done well at RB shows he could have been useful even if he is pretty raw still.

 

[Kiwi]

Lookman should have had more minutes fullstop.

 

[Goat]

Hes better off on loan, learning under a proper manager, Gravy wouldnt have played him anyway.

 

[Kienic]

Could he have improved given them extra game time? yes probably, but the previous two managers weren't given him much of a chance either so this shouldn't be used as a stick to beat Sam with. Good players on lots of teams slip past the first time and end up on loan and thrive elsewhere, look at Lukaku for example.

But yes looking at the dross we ended up playing since Jan he should have been given the chance here, but did we honestly think the players on the squad would be so bad since then also?

Ross went and that wasn't Sams fault though Ross is only a rat as it suits some posters naritive when in fact he was one of the best we would have had.

 

[PeregrineT]

The obvious answer is yes, clearly Bolasie was terrible, and we didnt have anyone else who can play on the wing outside of Vlasic.

But in reality it was probably better for him and his development, so its a good thing i happened.

In answer to question 1 we'd honestly be better off sticking a stinking bucket of dogshit on the wing and it'd produce better result than Bolasie. Hope his legs snap off next time he tries to stepover past the opposition the horrible little clown.

This
Edit;
Plus point, won't have done him any harm for when he comes back
Minus point, might not want to

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lookman isn't this messiah type figure who would help banish all our problems. He's got clear flaws he needs to work on.

But clearly he is better than Bolasie so yes he could have helped.

 

[Royalbm1]

Sam is never right, end of! [Poor language removed] dinosaur.
I want this lad in our squad next year, he has the potential to be outstanding, was right that he went out on loan if for any other reason that he separated from the utter [Poor language removed] that Everton have been this season.

Hopefully will be back for next season raring to give it his all. We need more young talent like this.
