Tremendous attitude. I watched both derbies.... our derby and the Manc derby. To say that tosun has a more rounded game and better attitude than lukaku is a huge understatement. I actually think there is a goalscorer in tosun. Its' just a pity he has to play for such a sterile manager and weak minded team mates.

Romey 1878 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I thought there would have been a few moans about him throwing his arms up in frustration throughout the second half Personally, I didn't have a problem with that because what was going on behind him was a bit shit like.

He actually wanted to win the game, something his manager didn’t. I can’t blame him for being upset with shit tactics to get him the ball. I saw it and noticed the hands up as well, he gets a pass this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm all for that when a player is prepared to put the hard yards in himself. When you see a Roy Keane, Peter Reid, Souness type player do it... a player who will sweat for the shirt it inspires.

In the Sunday Times 'man marking' (Man U v Man C) Lukaku was given 6/10 with the comment 'As ever, workrate could not be faulted............United failed to give him consistent service'.

Aidan Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Took his goal really well yesterday, class finish. Certainly Looks to be a striker that will make the most of opportunities. Think big dunc said he was a boss finisher in training too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sir McGiven Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I don't think he'll ever be a top striker in EPL. It just requires some other skills but he is a decent finisher. But as long as he gets proper service, not "top", with just proper service he can easily bang 20 in a season. He just couldn't make the impact I was expecting because of obvious reasons but since he signed by Everton, I am watching every single Everton game. Shaping my calendar according to Everton's weekly schedule, so far what I see, he is not bad on and off the ball. We all agree on his lack of pace and I don't think it is possible to improve at his age but he is able to cover it with his other skills. Trying to look at the things from his point of view in the past. In Besiktas, he used to play along with both wings (Ryan Babel and Ricardo Quaresma/Gokhan Tore) as well as one person who can estimate his off the ball runs (it was Oguzhan Ozyakup most of the time). He scored enough for Besiktas and we enjoyed it but I enjoyed his off the ball movements more than his goals because it brings variety to your attacking movements and makes it harder to defend. He used to swap positions with Ryan Babel time by time to get opposition CBs out of position and make space to drill in for midfielders and Babel/Quaresma. He used to do diagonal runs while CM has the ball, to create a gap in the middle. This goal against Porto is a good example of his position swap play. Here, he swapped with either Babel or Talisca (one of them were playing at left-wing that moment, not sure) and created the goal. He eliminated the first opposition and started to run into the box with 3 defenders focused on him. Allowed Talisca to run freely from the middle (well, nr. 13 of Porto is an idiot here. He couldn't even react but still...) and with a good assist from Cenk, Talisca was able to score the easiest goal of his life. He is not that good at outside of the box playsets but time by time he can score long-distance goals. A sight will be enough for him to try. Of course, I know what he is capable of as I was watching him playing for my team for many years but that's what scouts or DoF's for, right? I know he is credited Sam for his move to Everton instead Walsh or any other scouts. So Sam was monitoring him for a while, he knows what he does, what he is good at, what he is capable to do... He was watching his matches as we did and most likely knows more than me about him. My question here is, why did you sign him if you were going to play hoof ball play FFS? He looks like a championship striker ended up in an EPL side somehow. He needs link-up plays to be more productive. He can easily do it with Walcott and Siggy. If he starts performing and find himself as a starter, with Klassen as well. I am afraid he won't be able to give what Everton's fans expect as long as this meaningless hoof ball tactic continues. It will be a disappointment both for him and the fans but under a manager with some attacking sets in his box, he can easily score 15-20 in a season plus 7+ assists. I can bet on it.

Finn balor Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Top post. The other players speak well of him and seem to rate him highly. I think he will do well given the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 If he had another yard of pace I think he would be one of the top scorers in the league year in year out. Generally though I think is just a very good all round player. Quinn31 and Sir McGiven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 He would have absolutely thrived and scored many more already with Martinez' style of play. He may well feed off scraps, but he shouldn't have to. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
