You’re forgetting that Leon Osman is also fit now. And that’s a player Moyes loves. So even if Billy gets out of the starting eleven, with Arteta back (Moyes said he’s still a month away) I don’t see Osman sitting. LD would prob be sitting, cuz I doubt Moyes would sit Pienaar or Fellaini, and he seems to have a hard on for Saha and Cahill is like a legend to Everton fans.
Did you just start watching Everton this year? Arteta is a beast. If he was playing for a team that was in Champs league regularly, more people would know more about him. Underrated if anything.
Donovan was Everton’s best player today. He played extremely well when he got the ball; the problem was that his teammates made sure that that didn’t happen to often.
you’re an idiot, along with the rest of the posters that claim neville was trying to intentionally keep donovan off the ball. i’d love to hear ives’ take on this.
What is the projected line up for tonight’s US game? What are your thoughts
Ready for USAAAA–Honduras
