Poor today, slow decision making, worse at holding up than I expected him to be.

He was out forever though, going to take ages to get him straight.
 
Hopefully he can stay fit and we can move him on for a few quid in the summer,nothing against the lad I think he's got ability but he's no spring chicken and with his injuries I think we need fresh blood in to move on.
 
I think he has something....needs confidence and a goal , maybe will get both if Lukaku has tweaked his hammy
What I cannot understand when Naismith plays in the same team as Lukarku he is not asked to play along side him he seems to be in midfield or out wide not the freedom Kone had today?
Yet in Scotland he played up top with the centre forward? Naismith seems do be wasted in that deeper midfield role yet pops up to score Kone does look as if he needs match practice TBH!
 
Thing is he's got to come good if stories of lukaku going to Wolfsburg are right plus we need to add,feel better with Gibson in cringe when Barry's in.

Probably because Naismith is so valuable to us helping out the defence...naismith has an excellent engine and for Everton can get up and down the pitch, helping out in attack as well as defence. In fact, the value of having Naismith on board cannot be underestimated as far as Roberto is concerned. He plays Naismith as a forward player, knowing that he is also an extra defender, its Robertos compromise, diluting his 'all out attack' philosophy just a little. Under Martinez, |Naismith or a similar player will always be on the team sheet.
 
Did he score yet?
