Everton Striker Thread

We create plenty. I do agree that role requires someone who can make his own chances too though.

Yes, we had 17 attempts on goal against Leicester - only 1 on target. We need a striker who can get some attempts on target.

Tonight, Liverpool had 7 attempts on goal and 5 on target. We need a striker who can produce those stats.

Whoever the right sided forward is has to be Brazilian anyway lads for the extra chemistry links.

Surely questions must also be asked of our coaching of forwards. Yes aptitude and natural flair are very important but if the coaching isn’t helping players progress as well then that must be the coaches fault. As much as I love Big Dunc he has been our forwards coach for the last 3-4 years and none of our forwards have progressed in that time.

I thought this.

Don’t get me wrong. I love him. But I don’t think he’s ever going to be what we need

Then we have to drop Sigurdsson or play him deep where he doesnt look good at all.

Also we would be outnumbered in midfield.

Worked for Leicester? Good news is that in Gueye we have the type of player who covers enough ground to make up for it.

Not saying it's the only option or even necessarily what I would do, but it is an option and could have been good to see over the last few games to try and mix it up

What worked for leicester?

Absolutely NOTHING worked for Leicester other than us screwing up and handing the ball to Vardy.

 

[Pienaar'sdisciple]

Even Joshua King would be a decent option.

 

[Neiler]

Would prefer not to rush this piece of recruitment if i'm honest.

Seems odd saying that as we have had two seasons to prepare.

What worked for leicester?

Playing 442, the year the won the league

Sorry if already posted but would anyone take Lorente from the Spuds until the summer window? Still think he made the mistake of joining them instead of us, but that's footballers in the modern era !

I honestly dont see what use he would be to us.

 

[Pab Laa]

Good number nine, intelligent, can hold the ball up and can finish, obviously not based on his hatrick but I genuinely thought he would have helped with the loss of Lakaku...

He would have suited Koemans style for sure.

Im just not sure how much he has to offer and im almost certain he wouldnt fit into how Silva wants to play.

Hes not the player he was.

And Levy would probably demand 50m for him.

We've needed a striker who can finish for about 2 or 3 years, even when we had Lakaku, we needed back up, I think this is the classic case of bad agent management, if he came to us when he had the chance, he'd have played loads more games than being a bench warmer at Spurs, same thing with that lad Perez, who eventually signed for the Arse and ruined his career, shame for them both, could've been big players for us but clearly badly advised... And I'd imagine, Levy would be happy to have a none part player off the wage bill... I'm not saying he'd get us CL by any chance but I reckon he'd score 10 goals between now and the end of the season ! Especially with Siggy, who set him up so many times at the Swans!
