Of course we do - did you watch us last season? Our midfield was genuinely atrocious and thats the exact same midfield who will be lining up against Villa with Doucoure and Allan both out.

Unless we play 5/6 at the back we need someone who can put a tackle in midfield.

Grealish/Barkley will be skipping past Slowmes/Siggurdsson like they are not even there.
We'll struggle with Villa's midfield with any combo of our midfield I'd guess.
 

Getting some stick in here but for me, MOTM

The man is a machine.

He's been great mate, we've needed a no 8 for a while with variance and different but complimenting attributes in their game and he offers us terrffic balance.

I can see the logic of where some lads are coming from, wouldn't agree - but im reminded of Fellaini, i remember on here huge debates about being defensive midfielder an 8, an 8 and a half and even a forward. Some times all those things can exist in a players game and they can offer variance and offer different roles and skill sets even during a game.
 
Another solid dependable lung busting showing from the Duke - a solid 7 outa 10 most weeks, and occasionally 8s or 9s.

I don't see what peoples problem is - he is exactly what we have needed in the engine room for years and it's just even better that the lad seems to be loving it at Everton!

I think it's more aimed at his defending for their goal, he was beaten so easily by their fullback.

He's been a good signing all in, brings a lot of energy to the midfield. Would like to see more goals from him.

Apart from one or two of late, who doesn't?

Thought he was suspect on the ball but his drive and determination is always there. Would love to have seen his heat map from yesterday, seemed to be absolutely everywhere.

Guy has one dodgy game and people are back on the train. Seems mad when he's been arguably our best player over the last month
 
Becoming an important player - one of the first on any team sheet but I thought he was pretty poor yesterday.

As Ancelotti said, maybe the suspension is a good time/he needs a break.
