I wonder if Ronald Koeman looks into GOT?
I assume he does otherwise these debates about certain squad members are pointless and irrelevant.
Cleverley is a highly paid , international footballer. He gets paid more in a week than most do in a year.
He has played his football in the Premiership and will continue to do so , whither at Everton or not.
I think he started the season well, then he got a bad injury at Spurs was out for quite a while and the season was very mixed for him after that...as it was for most.
His future depends on the style and formation the manager chooses for the team and as yet we really have no idea how any single player fits into the plan...even Barkley.
Last year , even though we had a squad, we did not play as if we had. At any one time there was a preferred first eleven and players had to wait for injuries, suspensions or lack of form to get a game.
Usually, the more successful teams rotate their team not massively but rarely picking the same eleven game after game. Maybe a change or two. Keeping players involved and at the same time keeping players on their toes.
I would like to see more of this at Everton and if we do then more members of the squad will have a more meaningful role to play in the season.
