It will never happen but Myoklenko needs dropping against Utd. He has never offered anything going forward but this myth about him being a good defender is starting to p*** me off. How many more examples of sh**e defending do we need to see from him. His positional play is woeful, he switches off every game, he gets dragged across and leaves his man free and ball watches on a consistent basis.
Lost possession and won 0 tackles last night. Yes 0!

I have been saying for some time now that our back 4 is awful. If it wasn't for Pickford and the woodwork we would be much nearer the bottom of the league. We can all see Myoklenko isn't good enough, that O'brien isn't a RB and that Keane and Tarks are finished but this great manager people go on about can't see it.
He won't play Patterson at RB and move O'brien into the centre, he won't drop Myko for the young lad and he's now had a couple of windows to get us a striker and failed. People need to see him for what he is, thank him for stabilising things and get a proactive tactically aware couch in asap.

Totally agree but will moyes drop him that's the problem mate me personally I would 3 goals and 3 assists in 3 years for a left back who we bought for 23 million Rayan absolutely roasted him down that left flank last night we bought aznou of bayern for 14 million he must be sitting there laughing to himself thinking why did I even join this club wouldn't blame him if he left considering regardless of what mckelenko does he still won't get picked I fought players get picked on form and rotation when a player has had a consistent of bad matches but hey ho it's Everton we buy dibling for 45 mil just sit on the bench just doesn't seem any clear idea with us with transfer recruitment youth academy in game tactics and subs sorry for rant ?.

Just look how good the two full backs were from Bournemouth. They never gave our wide players a look in and were brilliant linking up with the play and penetrating forward at pace, unplayable, that’s the standard we should be aiming for,

Time to give Aznou a game.

Spot on there Reg.

Their right back was very good, sharp in the tackle and took George right out the game while moving forward at pace. The guy had winner all through him,

What is Moyes seeing that is so bad with Aznou.
Never been given a start so we will never know.
Surely he's got to be worth a try, Moyes must have sanctioned his purchase if he has final say on transfers.
I have said a number of times on here try starting Patterson as he is our only conventional RB now, and play OBrien in central defence.
{Ed025's Note - that would be my shout as well FG..
