Out with the old and in with new. A slogan for the new year in more ways than one.
I hope RM bears it in mind when looking at future Everton selections.
Against Newcastle I thought Barry was absolutely atrocious. Too slow, too ponderous. Everytime he got the ball I was afraid of what was going to happen next.
Unfortunately , I have to admit McGeady is a squad filler, no more. He has no impact on a game for long stretches at a time .Not enough real pace and no real determination. Too many flicks,too much possession given away.
Distin has finally been caught by father time. But, I did think Alcaraz played quite well.
Since when has Smuel Eto'o been a midfielder, and not a great one. Play him as a striker or
let him on the bench.
The green shots of recovery.
Coleman playing much better than recently, Garbutt a genuine premiership class full back, Baines
imo comfortable in midfield in his first game in that role.
Barkley bringing life into the team with his introduction, constantly trying to make things happen,
ignore his mistake for the goal , these things happen.
Kone played well and Mirallas I think is more striker than winger.
Unlike many others I thought Robles did well enough in his first premiership start to earn the right
to make that position his own. I don't think any of the goals were his fault and there could easily have been at least two or three more if not for him.
