I commented yesterday that he appears to have a single speed gear - runs at exactly the same pace regardless of the situation
Yup.
Even Sutton in commentary remarked how EG was standing watching as Everton built an attack. He (the Lump) just doesn't seem dynamic, alive and proactive; although I accept that his move into the box for the crossbar challenge was good.

Nigel Callaghan didn’t get off to the best of starts.  Now look at him.  DJ Nige.

Everyone remember when Joelinton was laughed at when  they paid Ł40M+ for the Brazillian striker?

He then came back reinvented as a CM and was a revelation - Maybe it is unfair on Guessand that he is expected to be on the wing if the history shows he was more a central striker

To be fair to him, he's not a wide man and never will be as long as he's got a hole in his arse.

Yet we clearly signed him to play there. Absolutely terrible signing.

On current showing I’d say Kozac was a level above Guessand.

Edit. He cost us about a quarter of what Evann did as well.

If centre forward is his actual position, we should probably try him there vs Fenerbahce, to see if he has any potential to be useful at all.

he needs to go up front and let's see what he's got because evidently, up to now, it's not a lot - and the two goals he has scored so far he didn't mean at all.

Agree with this. May surprise us. He got into better goalscoring positions than Watkins yesterday and does look decent in the air.

it doesn't do him any favours that he is a casual looking type player - it's easy to call him lazy, when during his spell in the team earlier in the season playing right wing, he did work hard, and it bought better performances out of Cash.

He needs to be played in his default position then we can judge, for all we know he could be an absolute goal machine, half way through a season and we simply just don't know, stick him up front give Ollie a rest from all these goals he's scoring.

Too be fair his movement coming into the box were the only times on Sunday that he looks remotely like a professional footballer

Style of player in the modern game, can you imagine Guessand holding his own against the speed of the game back in the eighties, a goal from anywhere was possible, Tony Morley, for goal of the season.

By the way Tony Hateley passed away at the weekend 72, RIP.

Yes, he will tear his kit off and reveal himself as Roy of the Rovers.

Tony Hately died in 2014.  Tony Morley (still with us, thankfully) is 71.
