The Grey Ghost

Most clinical finisher at the club IMHO.

His name is not exotic.

But he does the business.

He's paid to do the business.

Here, have money lad.

He's alright.

And gets important goals.

But when he has off days, bloody hell he's crap.

I think we need better really, but his hard work ethic is infectious no doubt.

Our Albino Terrier has big balls

He was tireless, cant fault the wee mans effort at all.

More and more convinced our issues have been down to lack of intensity. I'll take intensity and finishing over sexual footballing that leads to nothing right now...and most of the time.

Saw this tweeted earlier:-

"Eight of Steven Naismith's 14 PL goals for Everton have come against Arsenal (2), Chelsea (3), Man United, Man City & Liverpool"

Thank you Naismith. You really give it a go, despite not playing so well and saved us again.

I will put your recent performances and shortcomings in the pending tray and praise the Alex Young- like goal.

Thought he was poor, bad final passes. Offered his usual high level of effort and scored a goal. But still takes the place/space on the pitch of a more effective attacker in my opinion.

Well in for that header though..

yeah but in his position we don't have anybody more effective

so fair play to him

Furey1878 · January 11, 2015

He's currently somewhat of an enigma to me. I think the team has better shape without him but at the same time he's got great a great work rate and is always good for a goal.

DanB90 · January 11, 2015

For me, his attitude and spirit epitomises what this club is about.

technojoe · January 11, 2015

Was excellent yesterday. Gave 110% kept going to get his goal. He is our rough not too cute scottish Casper

Same boat here.

I think he's best off the striker but I also think that nullifies Lukaku and the team as a whole. I do think though he's not been effective on the right, he was a better option on the left than Barkley has been and so if he's getting in the team, perhaps it should be there.

I understand Roberto's dilemma though. His work rate is immense and he causes a lot of problems for city through sheer willpower. That said, his passing isn't always up to scratch and there are clear flaws to his game.

Moggers · January 11, 2015

Everytime I see him I just imagine him sitting off in a squalid flat in Edinburgh with Renton, Spud and the rest of the Trainspotting gang.

On a serious note, can't fault him for his work rate, it seems infectious as well which is only a good thing.
