All those you tube snippets showed him playing one - two at the edge of the area and getting past piss poor static defenders to slot goals in.
That ain't gonna happen is our league.
I don't know him at all but he himself must surely be totally demoralised and wanting to scamper back home.
Help him do it Sam!

Played OK last night, not well enough to be considered for a starting place against Newcastle but going in the right direction.
That's the Ajax way though. Quick, sharp passing and touches. Moving the ball quickly and then moving off the ball. He does that, and does it well.
Issue is, he didn't adapt his game. That's half him and half poor man-management - throwing a player in when really there was no need to do so.
He needed to learn to keep hold of the ball for longer and play to the pace of the others around him.
TBH, it's more a sad indictment on Everton though, than him.
That being said, a team playing with confidence does naturally move the ball quicker.
If we can get up a bit of momentum in the next few weeks, then there's every chance Klaassen could slot in nicely over the Christmas period, possibly rotating with Davies.
It's actually not just the defending though - the general level of defending in the Premier League is abysmal as well.
It's other players being on the same wavelength.
When a team has confidence, that happens quicker. We were extremely disjointed and it's only in the last week or so that we actually look to have found a cohesive unit... and that could all change again after Sunday!
Well, Cleverley has played well this season and in his current role that Silva is using him in, is good. We all know his severe limitations, though.
Why I'd rather him go to a decent Championship side is because I think it's crucial he plays in a team with confidence.
Don't want to see him playing in a team in a relegation scrap resorting to desperate tactics (heck, we still stand every chance of being involved in that if things take a turn for the worse!). Would rather him be in a side on the up (like with Coleman to Blackpool, for example).

Was a quality pass that, defence was bent over
Made a great run to then support Lookman as well.
Lookman should have passed. Goal was gaping and I don't think even Davy would have missed that.

Encouraging albeit not enough just yet. Hopefully he keeps working for his chance.
If it's the one I'm thinking of Toff, in the second half where Lookman goes into the box from the left and has a shot (for his hat-trick) from a tight angle instead of just squaring the ball into the middle for a tap-in, it was actually Vlasic who was the player who was in the middle for a tap-in.
First half Lou Lookman just had to square it to Davy for a tap in. 2nd half same thing happened and he should have squared it to Vlasic
Nah mate, first-half early on Klaassen played a great throughball into Lookman, who got into a good position but hesitated.
Klaassen had made a really good run into the area and was free edge of the six-yard box, but Lookman hit it straight at the keeper when there was really no angle.
Lookman had a great game, but that should have been squared to Davy.
