Omar Niasse

Re: Omar Niasse

He could trap the ball further than I could kick it but it was funny sometimes how the ball rebounded off his shins onto an opponents knee, back onto his thigh and he’d be away:hehe:

Re: Omar Niasse

Just my opinion, but I thought he was in the list of the worst weve seen at CCFC

Not just your opinion.

Anyone who rated him has low standards or a strange memory.

He made Callum Paterson look like a Premier League striker.

Re: Omar Niasse

I'm in the minority but thought he was alright in what he did, there was a game he should have scored a couple, can't remember who but think we won anyway.

His general play was pretty decent I felt.

That was when we beat West Ham 2-0.

He should have had a hat trick that day.

Re: Omar Niasse

Dont get why people rate him. You don't rate strikers on goals they could have scored. His best days were pre 2016 in Russia, after which he has played very few games and scored very few goals. For us he played 13 games with no goals and looked like he couldn't hit a barn door from five yards away.

Perhaps you should take on a bit of my ‘blind devotion’ for the club, it might do you good

For the record, my post you quoted was in reply to someone who accused me of blind devotion to City, which is why it was in inverted commas in my post. It was a quote. I never said that I had blind devotion. Sorry to spoil your fun.

Re: Omar Niasse

If he fails to score this season it will be his third season in succession that he has failed to score a goal. During that time I would guess given the price Everton paid for him he would be on somewhere between £50,000 and £100,000 a week. Not a bad life is it.

I heard £60k a week. Hopefully that was an upper end guesstimate.

Niasse was good for a while, he just couldn't score which is quite important. He made a massive difference though.

Ya, if we had got someone who scored a few goals, we might had a few better results :facepalm:

He started 12 games for us. We won 4, lost 8 and failed to score in half of them. Niasse failed to improve our goalscoring or points per game average to any tangible effect while we lost more games on average when he started than when he didn't.

We were dreadful in the last few games that Paterson played up front that season. Remember the 0-0 draw at home against Huddersfield? It was the game after which Warnock ranted about Brexit.

He came in, we outplayed Arsenal, then won 2 on the spin vs Bournemouth and Southampton, and then beat West Ham. We won 3 out of 6. Niasse made an impact to our performances, we actually played quite well for the first time. We absolutely murdered West Ham. He couldn't hit a barn door, granted but he was better than anyone else.
