Rested for a young footballer sounds like a pet dog being put to sleep

Madness that he’s been dropped then. He’s been our best CB.
...odd that we play 3CBs and he’s not included.
Speaks volumes about the management that Mace is singled out as the weakest link between the completely useless backline of Mangala, Williams and Keane, the absolute wasters
its odd that we play 3 centre backs when almost every time we have played like that we get spanked.
I wish we'd stop fecking around trying to be clever,

Best run of the season was with him and Williams at the back.Why did the partnership get taken apart?

very Everton this season that decision. Try to build a solid base and we keep changing it and leaving out our only CB with legs against a team like Arsenal
Seems to me that Allardyce prefers elder players because of experience and doesn't trust youngsters because of inexperience so he will take a youngster out of the equation if a mistake is made. Only came to this conclusion because of his comments about Lookman.
Bench our best CB why don't you lad

When he came in after the west ham game, we were starting Kenny, Holgate, Davies, Calvert Lewin and bringing Lookman on, he kept that for the huddersfield game, but slowly has started replaceing these kids, at certain times taking them out of the 18 all together.
Kenny could be undrstandible as Coleman is coming back, but i gaurentee if we had a left back, Martina would be in htere for him.
Holgate has randomly lost his place as Allardyce continues to play centre back bingo, even now if he decides he's sticking with 2 i gaurentee Mangala is now selected ahead of him at every opportunity
Davies (i think everyone knows i rate him and he brings something so different when he plays, i know others dont rate him, but thats irelevant, we have won more games with him in our midfield than we have with Schneiderlin), he picks him, drops him, picks him, drops him from the 18, picks him then drops him again. He continues to pick possibly the most hated player to the fans for lack of commitment ahead of him
Calvert Lewin - Was begining to net a few goals here and there and his hol up play and workrate in the derby won us that point- buys in a £27m - (thats ok, DCL cant lead the line all season on his own, plus he needs a rest probably), but nope! That £27m striker it seems is brought in at 3rd choice and we put Omour Niasse infron of him - who a month ago Allardyce decided to say pretty much "hes scored a couple of goals but that may be the best we will get out of Omour"
We all know the Lookman scenario
Swansea at home 2nd half, all mentioned got on that pichat the same time, them kids won us that game, all combining to win the 2nd penalty and linking well with an understanding
Aswell as backing each other up when a kick off emerged
Newcastle away, we need to run the game out, we all know how poor we can be at doing that sometimes, something our experienced players should be doing, instead we have JJK forgetting how to take a throw in to waste time, DCL getting booked for kicking the ball away and Tom Davies playing with his alice band before he takes a corner, all showing great experience beyond there years and something we havent seen from an everton team for a long time.
I know young players we need to be careful with and a restt here and there can do the world of good, but the way Allardyce treats them could really do some long term damage on there cofidence,
These young lads are winners though, they have won so much together coming up through the years for club and country, hopefully they are made of stronger stufff and hopefully Sam dosent ruin them for our next manager
When fit I’d go Holgate, RFM as CB’s

I would maybe trial Keane & Holgate if we are "writing the season off"
Keane was a large investment and i think htere is a good centre back in there, he just needs a regular partner and better protection infront of him
