Watched the Everton v. Bournemouth game on Match of the Day 2 last night (Sunday 13th, Jan). Lookman (or Lukeman as the commentator insisted on calling him!) was absolutely outstanding. Ran his socks off all over the pitch and his all round vision and passing quality was immense and got the assist. I appreciate some aren't interested in 'our' players once they have gone - but for me I always watch and like to see them do well.
Marco Silva expects Ademola Lookman to get "better and better" after he impressed in Everton's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday.
The 21-year-old spent the first half of 2018 on loan with RB Leipzig and there was speculation that he might leave Goodison Park in the summer.
"Fantastic player," Silva told Sky Sports when asked about Lookman. "I said since the first day that I joined the club that it was really important to keep him.
"You know what happened in pre-season. I put high pressure on and turned his mind to keep him here with our club and I think what we saw today we will see better and better in the future.He has all the quality to play in that position in our model."

Looked forward to Lookman playing yesterday but seemed to bottle it,but then again so did the rest of his team mates,shame he didn't get the winner for Everton
Is Lookman injured only he is not in the squad tonight in FA Cup?
Commentary mentioned 3 or 4 times now how surprised they are Walcott is starting yet Lookman isn’t even on the bench. No mention of any injury by Everton either.
I never really rated him that much to be honest.....never got what all the fuss surrounding him was all about.
To be honest, the fuss was because we were having an absolutely shithouse season and he was the one bright spark in it. He's a very talented player though; he had an excellent spell in Germany and when he's on form Premier League defences still haven't figured out how to deal with him. His issues are with consistency and work ethic though. Silva regularly criticises him for the effort he puts in in training and when he does get a start he often disappoints. He seemed happier in Germany though so hopefully he can start over and get some form together

I can understand him not fitting in under Big Sam, but you would have thought Lookman would have thrived under Silva. It's a big fee for someone who's done nothing in the PL, it shows how good RBL think he is.
Does my head in reading Everton fan views that he had a bad attitude and that they're glad he's gone - Cant blame the poor lad for being pissed off last season; Helped Leipzig into the Europa League (missing out on the Champions League by two points) and his parent club (not even in Europe last season) sign someone else
Not to mention the fact that his "advisors" are apparently his coaches from his days @ Waterloo FC so straight away reeks of bad attitude doesnt it!!

In my opinion Everton fell apart the moment they took Ade off and brought on 'golden bollocks' Walcott the media darling.
Unless u mean Evertons league game v City

Always looks lively when he comes on. I know an Everton that just doesn't understand Silva is doing with him.
Shame - needs to get out of there ASAP IMO.
oh wait... I
