Looked no worse than Sandro has

And he never had a 100 pages of hand wringing and nail biting written about him for his would he wont he signature.

Did alright in setting up Sig for that sitter which he declined to take. He's a nuisance and probably best served as a sub from the bench when we're chasing the game, which might be quite often from here on in.

He's a mystery that lad isn't he. I still sort of believe in him possibly because I'm an idiot but fuck me sometimes you watch him and just think what the fuck..

[MmmblueBernard]

So, Koeman bit his lip and succumbed to pressure to start Niasse.

Should we consider it a desperate failed experiment or try it again.

Let's face it, he was awful and has no idea how to play in that role.

Valencia's 3 goals in 21 appearances compared to Niasse's 3 goals in about half an hour might indicate you could be right.

I'd hold off judgment until he's got 19 more appearances for us. Because given what he showed Saturday, it's quite possible Niasse won't score in any of them.

[montanatoffeefan]

At least the brief and bizarre collective wank over him that's taken place in the last week may now be over.

Niasse may well just prove to be this season's Denis Stracqualursi.

Or Segundo, who once scored a goal for us, taking time out from his busy schedule of wandering away from his defensive midfield duties to allow the opposition a free break toward the Everton goal.

Definitely not good enough to start games

He was fucked after 30mins yesterday

Can't fault his effort though

There are plenty other more talented players in that squad who have downed tools the massive shithouses

[Ross]

He looked like our most likely goalscorer yesterday. Not sure what people want from him.

DCL and Niasse looked good together, so did VLasic,.. its not their fault they had no passes/chances created.. Niasse tired tho after like 70 mins.. but he put a shift in.

much better than Klaassen, Sandro.

just dont understand why Sandro came on, should have bought lookman on.

What are you watching? Niasse looked dangerously out of his depth.

[wepull]

Reminded me Beckford. Absolutely horrendous technical abilities but can score goals. Should be used from the subs bench.

Wouldnt say he,s horrendous but technically limited,however youre right he,s not a starter but he is our senior striker at the club and the lad is a in a difficult position we should get behind him in whatever capacity that is.

can label the same at you bud, what was you watching?

yes his build up play was a bit naff, but he still set up siggy in the box. had a few shots on target.

still alot better than Sandro.

we should be used to a striker not controlling the ball.. after all we had Lukaku for 4 seasons..

I'd hold off judgment until he's got 19 more appearances for us. Because given what he showed Saturday, it's quite possible Niasse won't score in any of them.

I'd be willing to put a wager on that.

He's technically very limited, his awareness isn't great and he wasn't fully fit nor match fit.

Having said that if we had a team that knew how to create chances he'd score goals, probably off the bench, as he has a desire to get in the box.

Don't get me wrong he's nowhere near good enough for a club with aspirations of the top 6 but at the moment we aren't so you have to cut your cloth accordingly.
