I would start with the side that finished the game against Watford other than bringing Bolasie in for Del. For those who said about starting with Del just have a look at how tired he was at the end after playing only 20 minutes. I think this is why Koeman does not start him.
One criticism for the manager from today was starting Cleverly. What did he see in training this week to justify a start because it wasn't shown on the pitch as he was awful.
Last thing is how different the game would have been if the referee had done his job and dismissed Rojo for an absolutely disgusting tackle. To think that Steks only contribution was his mistake shows that we should have won that game.

Del does look tired. I wasn't aware he is unfit. What I wonder now is how does he get away with it? With the wages they get and being professionals you'd think being fit would be a basic necessity.
Cleverly's involvement I think was more about not playing Barkley than playing Cleverly. I agree we could of won it only for that big mistake by Stek. Utd looked the better team for periods but we finished very strong.
Holgate and Valencia have to of done themselves good in terms of getting a start.
A draw without Jags or Barkley. A kick up the you know what will do both of them no harm. Competition for places looks more tense now. That should only benefit Everton.

I sit in the Upper Bullens NBTB and i watch him gasping for breath after 10 minutes. I can't see him being here start of next season unless he works on his stamina.
RK wants to integrate a pressing game and Del won't fit into that philosophy if he hasn't got the lungs for it. On a positive note we looked dangerous when we went 4-4-2 and had numbers in utds half.
One thing i took away from that game was what i thought about Pogba all along and that is how on earth is he a £90m player, and also please give Rom some videos of Ibrahimovic, even now supposedly at the end of his career the fella is top quality and i would rather pay £60m for him than Rom.

Im not doubting you bluegray. I'm just amazed at this day and age he's not put into line. I thought if a player was that bad he'd be pulled aside or singled out. Maybe there is an underlying health issue with him. If not then he should be made do extra training or at least do something about it.
Ibrahimovic is totally top class. A lot like Ronnie O'Sullivan in snooker. Both are extremely talented. Both in my view are one of the most naturally talented at their games in a long long time.
