Is this really what people think? I know people moan but like, are you seeing that also?

Maybe I should just stop listening to this crap tbh.

DCL is nowhere near the worst striker we've had, but he's also one of the most over hyped Everton strikers of all time. The truth is he's got some really good points, but what you really want is someone that's competent in front of goal, and he's poor. I don't think the task for Broja is that significant to replace him, but I think it would be wrong to do that after 8 minutes

Over hyped! Excellent stuff, what's he been touted as? How good?

Just the same as when Beto comes on late against tired legs and with the game stretched. Sure they look good but it's not really any sort of reflection on how they'd do starting when the game is tighter.

Was a good cameo but people go way overboard when an attacking sub looks good when coming on towards the end of a match.

Beto still looks poo against tired legs. Broja showed in 8 minutes that he has a brilliant touch, is a willing runner with the ball, can hold a run when the ball isn’t played and can stay onside, and makes things happen. Delivering that consistently is the challenge but I don’t think Beto’s even looked promising.

Probably a good idea.

My prediction, because this is Everton.

He will play well for Dyche, so well that we basically have to exercise the option and buy him. Meanwhile, we’ll sack Dyche and hire a manager who wants a completely different type of striker.

I think he’s a lot more versatile than DCL, Beto and a lot of other strikers. I’d be more worried about his injury record but if he stays fit and does well it’s a decent price for a striker.

Regarding DCL I think at his peak he was very good at a few things, but mainly jumping really fucking high. Liverpool goal aside we’ve not seen that. Probably lost a bit of jump and a bit of pace with the injuries and that small change can make a big difference at the top

There's been the odd occasion where he's looked ok against tired legs and then people jump on it to say he should be starting, which he then does and looks a million miles off it. But yeah it's usually just pure power and strength whereas at least Broja looked like he could control a ball and made some decent runs.

I don’t listen to the podcasts but I’m on the Everton Reddit and they fucking hate him. Top voted comments are always about how he’s the worst striker in the league and he’ll go on a free to the championship etc yet somehow we should also cash in on him for £20m in January.

Reddit leans heavily American so there’s lots of casuals on there, they seem to really rate Dyche too

clueless!

Sounds like a waste of time looking at that site.

...and then he'll get injured for 18 months and we won't be able to sell him.

Yeah, Everton Reddit is a weird place. Although I see plenty of hatred for Dyche too, not very much in between those extreme ends of the spectrum though.

A reactionary online forum?

well color me shocked!

I think we potentially see him for 30 minutes vs Arsenal. Can't play vs Chelsea so wouldn't be surprised to see us get him on earlier next weekend.
