He's starting to take up the mantle of that deep-lying playmaker role we've needed for a while.

Barry's playing excellently as well, which means that we can make sure McCarthy is fully fit before bringing him back.

Great to have options.
 
Mo is incredible. Genuinely think he's a better all round player than McCarthy, and we look a far more balanced side with him in it. Them shimmies and through balls, as well as them tackles...

Yes, it's great to see him getting in & around the penalty box but he does need to get his head up a little in our defensive third as he is apt to give the ball away sloppily then tries to recover with one of those tackles ......... which can be heart stopping if he gets it wrong!

He definitely has that potential. I think his biggest advantage is the long passing when compared to mccarthy. I'd like to see them on at the same time and give Barry a rest (only once McCarthy is truly 100%). Another thing that has been kind of overlooked, is that he is making better decisions. In his latest run, while he does play a tough game and will surely pick up his share of yellows (like Barry but getting them in a different manner) he hasn't come close to getting a red. In general he is playing a smarter more calculated game.
 
can someone translate that full interview please

Radiosarajevo : Mo finally plays as good as we know he can – just the way we remember it from the World Cup. What is to be thanked for your great performance lately?

Muhamed Besic : There is a long period of recovery behind me. Skipper didn’t want to risk to push me into a game while I wasn’t fully fit in order to avoid renewing my injury. However I worked hard throughout the recovery period until the manager felt it was a good moment to have me back on the pitch. I believe he did a great job on timing my comeback. I was first granted an opportunity in PL followed with another two matches in the Cup. I feel great even though I am still not 100% fit but I do believe I am going to be fully fit in the days to come. I hope I will be given the time on the pitch and I’ll remain ready for whenever the team might need me.

Radiosarajevo: What are your goals in 2016?

Muhamed Besic: To remain healthy. I had plenty of problems with injuries lately and my biggest wish at this moment is to remain healthy. Naturally I have great ambitions with Everton. We strive to take a place that would grant us one of European competitions. It will also be an important year with the national team as we’ve got the World Cup Qualifiers coming our way. I believe we have all learned something from the mistakes that we committed recently.

Radiosarajevo: You became one of the fan favorite amongst the blue Liverpool folk. How are the supporters treating you when they meet you in the street? Is there an anecdote that you can tell us perhaps?

Muhamed Besic
: I don’t really have a special anecdote. I do have a great relationship with Everton supporters. There is mutual love and respect. They were a great support in the time when I didn’t play and now that I am back on the pitch I dedicate my good plays to them. They believed in me all this time and I feel great sense of duty to repay their support with my performance.

Radiosarajevo: How did you feel after the Andora game when media and public laid a great deal of pressure on you? Did it leave a trace on you? Did it give you motivation to work harder and become more dedicated?

Muhamed Besic: I believe I already said it all on that topic. I felt really bad. I was really emotional and I did what I did and I wouldn’t really talk about it anymore. As I said earlier, I believe we all learned something from the errors committed as certain things will never happen again.

Radiosarajevo: What is the reason of poor performance of the national team in European Qualifiers Play-Off matches against Ireland?

Muhamed Besic: We didn’t play that bad as the result depicted it in the end. We were better team in Zenica but that fog happened and prevented us from showing what we were capable of. Dublin was a different story but if you think again about it – we conceded the first goal from the penalty that didn’t exist. The second was a set piece. Truth be told, we didn’t play good but we were not outplayed either and that’s what leaves a sorrow taste for not going to France as we do have quality for Euro.

Radiosarajevo: Could you ever play for Liverpool?

Muhamed Besic: I am blue and I could never play for the red part of Liverpool. I am proud and happy to be part of team such as Everton and I particularly look forward to the derby matches. I have a lot of respect for them but for me there is but one club from Liverpool that I love – Everton.

Radiosarajevo: Do you have any ritual before the game?

Muhamed Besic: I don’t really have any ritual.

Radiosarajevo: Which song describes your character the best and why so?

Muhamed Besic: I still didn’t hear a song describing me the best.

### END ###

You asked for it. It's been a while since I've been translating anything into English but I suppose it will do. Cheers!
