Ronald Koeman insists he is not afraid of dropping the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry
The Everton manager spoke out as he admitted Ross Barkley was in a "difficult moment" after being substituted at half-time of Monday's win over Sunderland to compound his recent demotion by England.
Everton have made their best start to a season for a decade and remain unbeaten under Koeman, who insisted his hardline approach would extend to others in his squad if their performances fall short.
"It is not I can't change Lukaku, I can't change Barry or I can't change Barkley," said Koeman.
"If a player is not at his level and as coach you think, 'I need to do something, I need to change something', then I will change. It is not about the name on his shirt."
