I just can't imagine after all this talk of ambition with Koeman and actually having money that Everton would let United rinse them that badly.

Then again it's Everton.

I don't understand the timing of this considering the huge number of games we have over April-May. Unless Mou starts playing Tim Fosu-Mensah in midfield, we're quite thin in that area.

I wish Bastian had more chances, since he's quite ideal to rotate with Carrick. He'll always be the fussballgot!

Seems like he'd rather use Fellaini.

Jose likes his squads small, and if you aren't part of that plan then you are pretty expendable.

His preference for Fellaini is quite clear, but if another senior midfielder goes down/is suspended, then we'd have to go with academy guys -- or play someone out of position -- during a crucial period. I was also talking more about Basti and Carrick almost being a like for like rotation option, but Jose hardly ever tried that.

He will play people out of position before he throws an inexperienced academy player out there.

We had both Costa and Remy injured at one point in our title winning season and Jose played Zouma up top instead of an academy player.
