Niasse for me. Actually hides from the ball because he even knows he can barely control the thing.

Niasse for me. Actually hides from the ball because he even knows he can barely control the thing.
Never saw this myself. He was an absolute comedy show of a footballer but he chased every lost cause going. Tosun is as bad technically as Niasse and also doesn’t bother running.
Man Utd away, was brought on a sub for 15 minutes and ensured he was always behind a Utd player in order to not receive the ball. I mentioned it during the match that he was purposely ensuring he wasn't available for the ball.
The fella was an absolute carthorse and Martinez should have been sacked within 5 minutes of Niasse being signed. 13m for a 2 legged donkey.
Those first few months he was here under Martinez I must admit I laughed at every single thing he did. I remember he started away at Leicester the day they lifted the title and was gutted when he was subbed off because he made my belly ache 3 times in the game from laughter. Nevertheless, I do wish DCL could adopt a bit of his unfaltering spirit.
He will play against Leicester.
He really needs to put a shift in against them, they have very good centre halves.
10 days now to get physically and mentally focused, no excuses.
We should all forgive a bad game or two, it’s the premier league. It’s when they look like they are not arsed that the fans turn.

He did actually score occasionally, which is more than can be said for this incarnation of DCL. If DCL keeps spending entire matches in just this side of a coma, virtually anyone would be better (less useless).
Don't really want to throw fuel on the fire here, but it's the kind of thing that gets me wondering about the two players' productivity in league games, at least compared with the last few years of DCL after he started scoring regularly.
Niasse:
| Season | Goals | Assists | Minutes | Minutes per goal involvement |
| 15-16 | 0 | 0 | 142 | - |
| 17-18 | 8 | 2 | 1083 | 108.3 |
| 18-19 | 0 | 0 | 58 | - |
| 19-20 | 0 | 0 | 19 | - |
| Total | 8 | 2 | 1302 | 130.2 |
DCL since he started scoring regularly:
| Season | Goals | Assists | Minutes | Minutes per goal involvement |
| 19-20 | 13 | 1 | 2660 | 190 |
| 20-21 | 16 | 0 | 2876 | 179.75 |
| 21-22 | 3 | 1 | 1003 | 250.75 |
| Total | 32 | 2 | 6539 | 192.3 |
There are many reasons why this is not necessarily the most useful comparison, but Niasse was statistically more productive over the time he was given than DCL was in his best season to this point. I also took a look at key passes over that time, in an attempt to control for poor finishing on the assists column, and DCL has a key pass every 163.5 minutes during these past 3 seasons, while Oumar did every 86.8 minutes.
Edited to add: If you include Oumar's time at Cardiff and Hull, that minutes per goal involvement in his entire Premier League career becomes 204.5, primarily because of the spell where he produced literally nothing at Cardiff.

Niasse chased everything and actually scored some good goals. Scored some hilarious ones as well mind.
Tosun showed he could finish in that first 4 months, but couldn't do anything else.
But if I wanted one in my team, I want the one that's going to chase and pressure and force mistakes.

Still reckon he is not match fit and his mind is building confidence after injures.

Dont disagree but Lampard needs to ask him some honest questions about what he wants and expects from him. If the performance then doesn't match DCL's answers then he need to be taken off, even if its after 30-45 mins

Him and Richardson never combine at all either, there is no chemistry for players that play together in training day in day out, I guess it doesnt help that DCL is incapable of a pass beyond ten yards, could even be 5 yards at the moment.
The tone for the United game for him was set early on the left flank, we strung 4 quick passes in tight areas together on the left flank which
was lovely to see and then it got to him and bounced off his shin.
If it was upto DCL to stay up, needless to say we would be down with a whimper
