Not sure he is fully fit TBH.
I agree that somethings up, doesn’t quite seem to be firing on all cylinders.There's something up with him.
He's been below par all season.

It's likely that Lookman will get a run over the next few weeks, depending whether Walcott was injured yesterday or not, but it's worth remembering that when Lookman comes on he's running at tired legs whose energy has largely been sapped by Walcott. His end product hasn't been there this season, but that's probably true for most of our squad tbh. It's the next step we need to make.
Never remember an Everton side missing this many clear one on ones or sitters, if even held those are put away we'd be talking top four rather than 6th.
Got to say though, horrid feeling at the final whistle yesterday aside, massive positive strides made this season.
Agree. We could have beaten both Arsenal and Liverpool away from home had we been more clinical in front of goal. We created good enough chances to do so. The pleasing thing is that we went to both grounds and went toe to toe with them, which hasn't happened in a while. There's a thrashing in the offing for teams if we can crack that.
Gonna be a fascinating second half of the season too. We've given all those teams a right tough game away, have them all to play at him still, think top four is too much of s stretch this season, but no doubt we will have a big impact on who gets there in my mind.
Season now should be about consolidating our position, make a real effort in the cup, and hopefully get gomes signed up and add one or two more in January in preparation for next season
He has to be sold. He's 30 in march and its the last chance for us to get a decent fee for him (maybe even our money back).
Nowhere close to the level we need and id snap someones hands off for £20mil, i hope Marco and Marcel feel the same.
Amazed at some of the posters here calling people 'clueless' for pointing out all his faults. He's basically another Aaron Lennon -- pace and can defend.
Top sides win games by going on the front foot...look at Richarlison on the left, attacks and defends at the top level and scares the opposition.
Before someone posts that Richarlison was a 'one off', look at ALL of our other signings under this management: Mina, Digne, Zouma, Gomes, Bernard and Richarlison...no reason we cant hope for another star signed.
Imagine walcott + £15mil = Richarlison.
Sell pronto.
Thought he played ok yesterday, Lookman needs a start though Wednesday.
