No he wasnt, and he usually isnt. He’s not a prolific striker or a big danger for other teams, why pretend like he is? If he were, wouldnt he have scored a lot more goals?
I like him, but he’s not the finished article yet.

He managed one shot all game and that was the dreadful effort that he should've played to Bernard instead who would've been in.

Still ?s around him needs to really show in the chances he gets.

To be fair mate, he was a focal point in a side that scored 5 goals. In his previous 2 games he scored 2 very good goals (1 of which was bizarrely ruled out).

He doesn't get chances because his movement and awareness is shocking.

I didn’t say he was the finished article but he’s looking a lot more dangerous in the box than he was last year. Why pretend like he isn’t?
5 goals (plus the disallowed 1) in the limited time he’s had on the pitch this season is pretty good going.
Seems Marcel really likes him too.
Been very impressed with his movement, testing center halves and decoy play of late, its what that contributes for others you have to look at.
In large parts, I agree that he has attributes that are major positives and I feel that he gets a lot of unfair criticism. Nevertheless, his finishing has to improve!

He's crap. I see nothing in him to suggest he is going to suddenly become a good striker.
Wholly agreed i am on record as saying he is not good enough for us, i have been very impressed with him in the last few games, not wholly on goal threat but the gaps he opens for other players an pulls players around out of position.
For me he has given us something different, we have been out muscled in a lot of games this season, Watford, West Ham spring to mind. He really occupies center backs and makes them work, this creates gaps elsewhere for the creative three in behind. If you can do it at Burnley away where for me we put in one of the worst performances i have seen by any Everton team last year, he can do it anywhere.
If he could add finishing even 15 a season he would be a cracking little player.
I reckon a lot who don't think he's got anything about him don't watch the games and just look to see if his name is in the goals scored column.
Last few games, hes reminded me a bit of Jimmy Vaughan.
