It'll be interesting to see if he keeps his place once McCarthy and Barry are both available. On current form I'd go with Besic and McCarthy.
Are people thinking that it looks like Besic, McCarthy and Barkley need to be the engine room of the side. Besic sat in front of the back 4 and the other 2 using their energy to create and link things through the team.
If so, Naismith is a must and also deserves to play in the number 10 role, which then creates a problem as obviously we have a choice of Lukaku, Eto'o or Kone for the strikers role.
Do we play with wingers or is wing backs and 3 at the back the obvious option due to the main talent being through the middle of the park?
I know it would seem crazy to leave Mirallas out of any Everton side. But with what we have available and everyone fit and at full strength, is this actually our best side? Also, who is more important to the team at the moment, Mirallas or Naismith?
