Nobody could have predicted this.

I can’t imagine his mates in the media will be putting pressure on Koeman now either.

He’s shite but he’s been better for Everton than most of his pathetic teammates.

That's it. He's a square peg in a round hole at Premier League level these days but worryingly for Everton fans he's actually been one of their top two or three players.

Klaasen also not starting. So I think Koeman realizes Sigursson, Rooney and Klaasen get in each other's way. He chose one for this match.

I can't remember which journo tweeted it at the time, but his comment when someone asked what he thought of the Rooney deal was perhaps spot on: "Doesn't really matter. He'll have lost his place by January."

Even allowing for Rooney's "homecoming" they would have been better of with Hernandez. Rooney is done, pretty much.

I actually think he has done well this sesaon with 3 goals already. Better than last 2-4 for us. Although I expect him to get worse no doubt and given that Everton already struggle they sure would need something better.

I suspect the bigger problem is his play style might hinder other players though and thus make the team worse which I thought was a big problem for us. Although I think that is mainly cause they have bought very weirdly with so many similar types of players.
