Substitutions today and looking forward

[Axlswhk]

Stop f##king moaning! It's becoming tedious and boring so give it a rest, mate. Give the lad a break! Two game's that spring to my mind, was the game at Bolton, where he won us the game, got us a point against United, where he dominated Vidic in the air which nobody ever does. Give him time.

Like Rodwell and Gosling, he's developing and will become a very good player.

It's even more tedious to see fellaini play week in week out. If anyone is free enough to compile a clip of him in possesion thruout the match, it will be plain simple to understand why he is not worth that amount of money that we paid for.

I think that Fellaini is now showing his youth. I was reminded on here yesterday that the lad is only a year older than Gosling, which is surprising as I think of Fellaini as a "man", whereas Gosling is still a "lad". I think he'll get quieter and quieter this season and get more and more stick from our fans, then next season he'll settle in properly and start a proper "career" with us.

I think Castillo coming on was the right decision, it was 6 minutes in and VDM wouldn't have lasted the rest of the game.

When Vic had to come off, I'd say it was too early for VDM. Between Fellaini and Saha, I presume Moyes made the right choice depending on what he'd seen in training etc. so that only leaves the last sub where VDM could have come in.

Which, imo, with 15 minutes to go and Fellaini and Jo on the field, would have been the right choice. They had 10 men so VDM wouldnt have had to track back too much, just get some chalk on his boots and stay out wide to knock the odd cross in.

As for looking forward... NO MORE INJURIES!

I agree.

There's a piece in this month's Evertonian by Brian Viner about fans moaning at Moyesey's subs. Got to say it baffles me a bit as well, nobody was bloody moaning after the derby about Gosling and Rodwell coming on were they?! Sure, not every single one of his subs works perfectly, but is there a manager in history who that can be said about?

I agree lets face it as the dude said in another thread the entire weeks training would have been around having a game plan, and a system and sticking to it. Castillo coming on would have allowed us to keep our shape and system and facilitate the ten other players sticking to the game plan.

Its hillarious on here, i cant beleive some people are criticising our performence, i thought we controlled the game but Newcastle were resolute, well set up Newcastle team whom incidently deserved a point. If we had been more clinical we could have won the game we had the chances. No complaints!
