Van der Meyde

[Scottoffee]

All 3 of Rodwell, Gosling and vdM should feature on the weekend - especially the kids whilst their confidence is skyhigh.

Guess it depends on how bad Fellaini & Pienaar's injuries/fitness issues are and whether or not Jo goes straight in - The kids maybe to start and vdM off the bench.

 

[TX Bill]

I'm very happy for VDM.

He gets a chance and takes it.

I sure hope Moyes gave him a pat on the back after the match.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Couldn't be happier for VDM. I hope Moyes rewards him with the Villa game at least. I love to see him with a longer spell.

 

[teppic]

it was good to see vdm line up in a one man wall towards the end. i swear he did the job of two men.

The thing is even if he just hugged the touchline and whipped those crosses in- Cahill and Fellaini would absolutely lap them up! The one thing I thought was lacking last night was decent width. Pienaar is one of my favourite players but he has gone off the boil lately- Ossie is poor, I dont know what his best position is best I dont think out wide is it.

We are crying out for a proper wide man even if he plays on one side

 

[HalewoodBlue_ver.2.0]

He certainly made a difference and it was a quality ball to Gosling. Must be worth a few extra mins in upcoming games

I think so too, Osman is no wide man his only effective position is central midfield, and once again his form has not been great recently and in the Derby match he keep coming into the middle when he had the chance to cross the ball.

Honestly it would be great to have him on even for 30 mins in the 2nd half so we could have some nice crosses coming in and it should drag some of there defence toward the Right which give Baines and Pienaar more space on the Left.

Moyes, give the man a chance we going to need to make used of all our resource if we are to achevied the best end product comes the end of the season.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

With Pienaar suspended for the Villa tie, surely it's his chance to get a run on the right wing??

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

i've been as critical as anyone of him, top quality cross and hopefully he's had a proper taste of the joy of being an Everton player last night and will be gagging for more.

 

[Goat]

Agreed, hes lost his chance with me, but that cross was utterly amazing, shows just what we are missing, he could have been huge for us.

 

[Vim Fuego]

Heard a rumour that Reina aimed a punch at VDM as he made his way other to the other lads who were celebrating the goal, i know he got booked but some were saying it should've been a straight red ?

 

[Goat]

I heard this also, but i see no record of him getting booked.

Booked: Leiva Lucas, Alonso.

 

[The Dude]

Unfortunately I think this will be his legacy at Everton, that assist, that cross...

I think you're right, but at least he did SOMETHING. Reminds me of Gravesen in his second spell with us - he was useless, as his legs had gone, but then stepped up to take the first penalty in the UEFA shootout last season b)

Good on Andy, just don't resign him!! unless it's on a "pay as you play" contract

 

[Nebbiolo]

Moyes should have more faith in him if he's fit IMO.

In agree, but Moyes won't change now.

 

[Robin Sisland]

Can't help wondering we'd have got on over the last few weeks had Moyes played VDM wide on the right and move Osman into the middle in place of Anichebe.
