Walk away Everton
Oh dear. Most under performing striker in the league over the last SIX years according to the Athletic.
Exactly this the chance he had late on Sunday anywhere either side of the keeper and he scores but he hits the keeper slap bang in the middle of his chest, an absolutely awful one on one finisher (he's not that good at any others either to be fair).He misses far too many simple chances. Will always put top teams off. When he goes through on goal you expect him to hit the keeper.
Forget anything other than what he does on the pitch and that’s not good enough then add in injuries it’s time for him to go.There is a big part of me that really wants him to stay fit and start building up confidence, with us. You look at some goals he has scored, Spurs this season, Palace at home when he nicked it through and finished cooly, West Ham away, a couple of seasons back (maybe under Ancelotti?) was a great finish from an acute angle and you think 'For god sake, why can't you do that more regularly. Then there was the period with the service and the poacher style goals. He has shown, far, far too infrequently, that he can be a goal scorer. If we also then include the headed goals that he has scored as well, like that Palace game and Liverpool.
Although, the ship has sailed I think. Through various reasons the confidence is not there to be that regular goal scorer we need.
