    Really pleased for Ade. Hopefully Everton is the right place for him to be. CAFC certainly wasn't offering him what he needed.

    Thought it was a poor 1st touch myself. Kill it a yard rather than three and he could have put it either side of the keeper. Well done though to a quality player who will only get better with superior players, coaching and more protection from refs. Bet he will be in U21 squad next outing and full squad in a few years to boost our new owners coffers.

    Have to admit it was the kind of first touch that would have got Jason Euell slaughtered on here back in the day, but he recovered well and put in a good finish. :-)

    Beautiful and almost precocious finish, lovely to see. I wish him really well.

    Similar to the last goal he scored for us Mk Dons.

    Good for him. I'm not sure I'll be watching him play all that often in the future though. It will just annoy me too much

    Having waxed lyrical in the pub about him, and explained how I was delighted for him leaving the mad house, whilst feeling he actually would have stayed without the barmy goings on. I was oddly pleased to be able to celebrate his debut goal. Well done Ade!

    Gave it a proper 'Yesss' when Lookie scored - team reaction was brilliant, especially when the keeper joined in. Looks like it may have been a good move for the lad and they've all obviously been told to look after him. Lukaku definitely doing the big brother thing.

    I haven't really followed many of our ex-players, apart from perhaps Gomez.

    That said, I was absolutely chuffed to bits for Ade this afternoon. He's come across as a really nice lad in his interviews, looked genuinely stunned when he was filmed being unveiled at Everton, and his whole story is a bit of a fairytale really. It's hard to find any negativity attached to the lad.

    The kid obviously has bags of talent, but in today's game I can't say I expected him to make a first team appearance in the Premier League any time soon - let alone vs Man City. So to hear he that he got his "token" appearance at 90 minutes I was impressed, but to top it off with a goal in under 4 minutes on the pitch.. absolutely brilliant.

    Posted it on the other thread, but will throw it here too:


    Looks like Ademola has settled in to that team perfectly!

    This might be controversial but does Karel Fraeye deserve some credit for giving Lookman a chance? (or was it Jason Euell's input)
    Luzon had others like Kennedy & KAG in the squad ahead of him.

    Really do love the attitude from Lukaku at the end there... He's certainly someone who knows the pressure of being hyped as a great Striker from an even younger age so will

    Guess Lookman and Davies will be in the next England U21 squad now?

    Let's give him credit for getting us relegated too while we're at it

    No credit at all.

    That game (MK Dons away) the clown played Reza and Watt upfront who produced the worst forward display I've seen from two Charlton players. And Macleny wide.

    Not to mention leaving Stephen Henderson to face the media after Huddersfield!!

    That'll be forever unforgivable!!

    Today's Mirror report concluded ...

    Then Lookman seized upon more City uncertainty with a brilliant finish through the keeper's legs.

    That brought Goodison Park to its feet and Guardiola to his knees.

    I'd say it was very satisfactory opening five minutes for Lookman's Premiership career.

    Before the goal, I was just pleased for him that his first touch in the Premier League was tackling Aguero.

    2-0 after 23 mins. Again, no involvement from Lookman.

    Francis has just passed the ball across the six yard box and put it on a plate for Lukaku...

    What a waste of money. Francis has more assist for Everton than Lookman. :wink:
