2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Done well when he came on, brought a good save out of Foster.

Did more in a few minutes then Sandro when he starts, and while I like DCL he shouldn't be automatic to start before the Prince

Sandro scored on his last start for Everton

All getting a bit silly in this thread

 

[Prevenger17]

In our current setup, he should start imo. Will always be a threat

 

[joey_macmo]

Scores and makes things happen and defends from the front, usually there the qualities I look for in a forward

If you think he’s got the quality to move Everton forward then good for you.

More so than DCL and Sandro is his point as far as I can see. Believe me, we'd all love to have Harry Kane, but we have to pick the best of what we have

I think he maybe a valuable asset to the team/squad...

Looked lively when he came on and had an actual shot on goal. More effective from the bench though I think.

The main man

Should start the prince this Sat. DCL is knackered and in time for a rest.

Even Prince Oumar won’t have the lung capacity for the punts into the corners

I agree, DCL looked very heavy-legged yesterday.

Playing as a lone-striker whereby you're expected to win every aerial duel along with chasing down numerous players must be draining.

Like Davies, Calvert-Lewin deserves time to recuperate and for us to correctly nurture his talent, so really we should see more of Niasse.

Nevertheless, I'm getting the feeling that perhaps Sam doesn't think too much of him, or at least for his style of play, hence DCL playing a lot.

DCL has to do that much running on his own up front that I've noticed in the last 20 minutes of games his work rate drops because he's that knackered (that's when Niasse should come on if Sam isn't going to start him in games) either he needs to pace himself a bit more, or he's being asked to do a thankless job, probably a bit of both in my opinion.

I think it's more down to Allardyce's style of play mate, it calls for a tall striker to win the punts up front.

I think it's more down to Allardyce's style of play mate, it calls out for a tall striker to win the punts up front.

Semantics... Be it Niasse not matching up to Sam's style of play or vice versa, in Allardyce's eyes he doesn't fit the model that is desired.
