I'd love to see him back, he's a quality footballer and a real team player, his attitude alone would lift things at the moment, constantly moving and making himself available, always willing to take responsbility. He could even play in the middle of the park for us, as he did a few times alongside Fellaini to good effect. I find the Fellaini-Rodwell partnership a little overrated and not as balanced as people make it out to be at present, so that could be a good option.

The use of Donovan will be interesting to see, I'd expect him to play as more of a forward if he was played in tandem with someone like Saha, not as a typical number 10. It might even be more effective if Saha dropped deeper and Donovan ran into space. That's his main strength really. I don't see him playing infront of teams and breaking them down, Stick him on either flank or as a forward and let him use his pace, movement and intelligence.

Absolutely spot on, putting him into the middle with Fellaini is plausible as I agree on Rodwell and Fellaini not doing anything of note yet to warrant how much they're rated as a central two.

Also agreed with Saha playing a bit more withdrawn, I'd place Vellios in front of him personally, his hold up play seems to be really improving and Saha is best creating and facing the goal rather than with his back to it.

Bang Coleman to right back, put Donovan and Drenthe on the sides and you've got a team that would take care of the Norwichs and Swanseas of the world at home.

fuk marty feldman off cooks,the jobs yours
 
To be honest I'd have Pienaar anywhere in the team right now simply because he can keep the ball under pressure and not resort to hoofing it.
 
I disappear for a few hours and all the mentalists take over the asylum.

*looks over at the Azul


If I hear one quote from Pienaar saying he's been dead successful since he decided to try and get more money away from Everton I will fume. Fume I tells you. FUME.
 


I'm getting images of Ricky Tomilinson dancing on the bar here at the thought of those three being in charge.
