Atsu only came from the bench and who issued this man of the match accolade? Sky sports? BBC? BT sports? Ghanaweb just seem to make stuff up.

His contribution was not that great. To be honest, it was not even good

We do appreciate what we have...I think you are missing the point..If you watched the game you will know he was the man of the match. Secondly what some of us are saying is we shouldnt hype this player just to get them selection. I think Atsu is actually a good player and with hard work he will get better.

People just talk anyhow....I like Atsu every much but please this guy played bad in the game...He was the cause of the first goal against Everton by losing the ball in the first place.....just the fact that he provided the cross for equalizer does not make him the man of the match. Also the commentators gave the man of the match to DARRON GIBSON. I seriously hate when people hype players. We are killing their career. Let be truthful with them and stop this nonsense. You have who also didn't watch the game saying he deserve it.....

Common man, you are not the only person who watched that game. How can you say Atsu is the cause of the first goal? What are defenders for? We had a slow defender who was quickly overtaken after Atsu was thrown away by a hard tackle. Honestly Atsu changed the attacking game as soon as he came in. He cut through the defenders several times, only his passes were not too accurate. I will say he was responsible for Evertons splendid performance in the second half. As for the man-of-the-match award, I heard that was only for his team and not for the game itself. So boy, if you want to be truthful, you also have to be fair.

Who is ever going to take you serious? You only call for doom and gloom but as far as I am concerned, you are the only person who continues to fail in life.

What do you mean he lost the man he was marking? You are not the only one who watched the game. Atsu lost the ball far away from his goal posts, in actual fact he lost the ball on the Leicester side of the pitch so what were the defenders doing? I did not see Atsu losing anybody he was marking. Atsu is not a defender so he was not assigned to mark anybody. Please stop your fake coaching analysis because you are describing things the Ghanaian way but the game was played in Europe.

What the hell are you talking about...frankly you did not read what I wrote...I said he lost his marker on the second goal...If you care to know go watch the highlights from that game..It on youtube. secondly he did not loss the on the leicester half of the pitch. Yes I still stand by the fact that he was partly to be blamed for the first goal. Do you guys realised Atsu's dribbling is always predictable?? I love the guy and will always support him...All I'm calling for is not to stop hyping these players...Praise should be given when it is due but not when it is.

Well opinions always differ when it comes to this so I respect your opinion but I also still insist that you cannot blame Atsu for that goal. That's because the ball did not score off Atsu's foot but traveled between attackers and defenders long before it reached the goal posts. Besides, Atsu was very instrumental for Everton picking up pace in the second half. I do understand your concern with the hype but he did very well in my opinion.
Papa USA 10 years ago

I have always said Atsu is a good player and do believe he will be even better with more playing time. I do not disagree with you on the fact that he did well by being instrumental in the second goal.

"Everton boss Roberto Martinez was pleased with substitutes Christian Atsu and Darron Gibson after their 2-2 draw with Leicester City in the English Premier League yesterday.

Gibson offered an attacking threat from midfield while Atsu provided the cross from which Matt Upson converted past his own goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer."

Did you see this article? So they're wrong twice praising the guy? Oh, please keep the truth high, it doesn't hurt.

Quick question so since you saw the game..was he the man of the match???

He is a sub at best. His football iq its not the best. The english is mostly one or two touch and pass. He likes to run with the ball. The headline of this article is false cause no way was he voted man of the match. Schlupp played well but had a lot of opportunities to score but couldn't. He needs to work on using his right foot sometimes
