Yeah first half he was poor. Second half he did okay, ran the line better and worked hard. It's clouded by that awful miss

But them 3 goals were really nothing special, a penalty, a tap in etc. His all round game is awful, cant control a ball without falling over or it pinging 5 yards off his foot, his runs are pretty poor. I know hes young but to me he doesnt look anywhere near being a premier league forward.
Hope im wrong tho

not really sure how that relates to my post but ok. The point i replied to was that he needs through balls to run on to, but very few top flight teams are able to play like that as its easy to defend against. Hence why most modern day strikers are good with their back to goal. Players who are quick and like to run on to things have drifted to wider positions in todays football
My opinion is kean currently is not good enough for us . I would loan him out if we could get some one else in. You have a different opinion..That's fine. But i have mine and you are not going to change it. until I see it for myself. I'm happy to be proven wrong if it happens.
I don't want him going to sides that a) he wouldn't start anyway for Fulham and b) are crap (West Brom and Fulham).
It's the mistake we've made time and time before - crap loans.
He's better off staying here and coming on to play or starting alongside James Rodriguez, cheers.

He only starts if one of Dom's legs falls off though.
So it's either go play football...or play FIFA for him.
Because it's a forum. You said he isn't starting regularly at the moment unless there's injuries - which I agree with entirely. But we are a side that famously have a lot of injuries.
If we can get someone else in, maybe. But there's money that needs to be spent in other areas first and foremost, wouldn't you agree?
I don't see why you are so set that a player at 20 absolutely HAS to play every single game to get better, is all? Gordon hasn't played every single game since he came into the side, but has got better hasn't he?
There obviously comes a time where players do need those starts and minutes to get a roll on but even without starting every game, Kean is managing to score in each game he has started for us in 2020. It's not a big sample size but he is getting the goals.
Surely he will improve more training week-in-week-out with James Rodriguez, Richarlison and Dom, than going off to a Fulham or West Brom or to a foreign league to play in a style that is completely different to what he'd face in the Premier League?

in fairness if a good loan came available they should let him go. But one where he would play I agree. If we play similar to Sunday then DCL and Richarlison can fill the striker role and we either need a left sided forward or Gordon could come in.
Everton’s back up squad is dreadful as was shown tonight. We need more quality.
Watch him when he first arrive, he is often at the back of defenders anticipating through balls but he somehow evolve into DCL target man back to goal approach which is entirely a waste of his strength. This is not surprising after 12 months of playing in front of a midfield that rarely pass forward and ping sideways ending with crosses. We have midfielders capable of playing differently this season and I believe we will see a much improve season.
He's featured in 8 of our last 10 league games and 9 of our last 11 overall.

Hard to play well when you have that midfield behind you.
Some of his touches were terrible like but he'll come good.

It's not just about playing though. It's about playing in a system that fits for him and in a style - or against a style - that he'd play in for us/face with us.
We need three strikers. We also need another wide player already who can add 8-10 (ideally more) goals per-season - which in turn relieves pressure on Kean when he does come in.
Unless those players are in then there shouldn't even be a thought of selling the lad or loaning him and giving up on our investment. Five-year deal and he's 20. He spent last season in and out of a side that were awful.
He's now training with James, Allan etc.
Bringing more quality in shouldn't mean dispensing with another player that actually has potential.

He likes the ball to his feet. Normally he is good on the dribble, but tonight he really struggled to even receive the ball at times. It’s one thing for Dom to fluff on a dribble or two as it’s not his game, but Kean needs to be better than he was tonight. I do think he looked much brighter after the penalty to his credit.
