Can't help but wonder what a fully fit Bolasie might have done this season in that spot behind Lukakubthat Lookman and DCL have been playing. Would we have the few extra points to be in a realistic top 4 battle? We'll never know. Everton that though to spend 30 mill on a player just to get injured immediately.
Our form since his injury has been exceptional. So tbh no we've not missed him at all. In fact we've been massively improved without him. Sadly I don't think he's good enough.
The issue we had before his injury was that the whole team was dreadful, not just one or two players. In that time, despite the skeptism in the fanbase to be honest, Bolasie looked like one of our best players. He was scoring, assisting and causing issues for defenders. He was inconsistent sure, we knew that before he arrived that was what we were buying. However when he was injured he was on like 5 assists? A few more sitters he created that were missed would have put him not far off the top players in the league, like De Bruyne who apparantly is top class.
Point is, he could have only got better along with the rest of the team. Ross was terrible during that time, now he isn't. Bolasie would have been a fantastic option to have now so he has been a big loss to us, probably would have won us a few more points in the time he has been out when playing the likes of stoke where we couldn't score that important goal.
Sad thing is that we have lost 2 big players this season to injuries that could take them a year to recover. I hope both Yanick and Sheamus come back roaring because at the hopefully birth of the new Everton, it would have been nice to have them a part of it.
