2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[BlueShark]

I will miss him when he is gone.

We all know he is average in skill but his determination and courage to bounce back from lockergate are one of the few reasons I've had to smile about anything Everton related this season.

His attitude and workrate has been first class and I love him for it. And without his goals this season already we would already be sunk without trace.

Good on you Oumar.

Reality is he could walk into a pub full of blues and not have to buy a drink all night...

If lukaku walked into the same pub he wouldn’t get a crisp off anyone.

Both players different ends of abilty scale but also different ends of attitude scale.

Lukaku with his famous shockingly poor first touch doesn't even come close to Oumar's work rate, never say die attitude, professionalism and passion. Interestingly, Lukaku doesn't get close to Niasse in his goal scoring stats this season either.

He's utter shabite but good at the same time.

£13m! Pfft, looking like an absolute bargain.

Lukaku gives up if the ball is 5 yards away from him. Oumar never gives up while the ball is on the pitch. Never seen a striker who tackles defenders so much. If he loses the ball,he tries to get it back. Now,thats an idea........
Lukaku sits at the table and waits to be served...Oumar goes into the kitchen and serves himself.......

By the time Oumar is finished in the kitchen there are pans everywhere and food up the walls, but he comes out with a plate of scran for himself in the end

He’s still a pretty terrible footballer but like Strac he works hard so gets some respect. All his goals seem lucky somehow.

He was certainly lucky that ball didn't roll the other side of the post yesterday!
You need luck along with everything else.

I think we'd have got a penalty if that had happened.

It would have been a pen and a red card for the defender look at the tackle he was scythed down, bot our bulldozer just kept on - the picked it out the net and ran back to the halfway line - total hero yesterday!

That's mind-blowing.

He’s actually underrated haha. If Lukaku would have played like that last night everyone would be calling him baby Drogba. Played the pass for Rooney to set up Baines, won the ball of there left back and went past him with ease to set up Sigurdsson who should have buried it. Scored AGAIN. Sent there cb and goalie for some X-Rays then won the ball and passed to Lennon to do one two with Davies for the penalty ran to get the ball just to give it to Baines to take. He doesn’t jog he sprints from minute 1 to minute 102. Embarrassing how the club treated him now he should be first name on team sheet. The lucky one.

As the old saying goes, you make your own luck and he does just that through sheer endeavour.

 

[BiggyRat]

Hadn't seen the highlights until now. A credit to the lad to show that much concern for the injured opposition player.

But surely the ref would have then awarded a penalty ...and possible red against the defender?

Yep...
He's very arresting.
