Gotta be honest, don't really remember him in the past hauling his own players over the coals like that, not really until later in his Real Madrid tenure.
I guess it depends on whether Shaw & Smalling are the kinds of characters who'll react well to that, I'm not sure if there are that many in...
Tbf on the assist thing, Bolasie is a winger with Lukaku to supply and Wij has been used deeper in midfield for us so far, naturally he shouldn't get as many.
Bolaise as far as I can tell has been doing reasonably well for Everton, not amazingly so but meeting expectations. Wijnaldum surprised...
Sadly he never thought to extend his ingenuity to moccasins; a crying shame.
:blush:
However, having forgotten to vote my placing any higher would make a complete mockery of the list and of LOTS' effort .
We've found it very comfortable against Championship teams in previous rounds, even taking into account a strong line-up v Burton and a some first teamers v Derby, our fringe players will likely include Sturridge, Origi, Wijnaldum, Mignolet etc.
I won't say it'll be easy, but it's obviously the...

Could've been more, some of our play first half and majority of 2nd half was irresistible. Improvement in a match that would usually trip us up again though.
The game? It was a big bag of shite (like most of our encounters are), and United got what they came for, so fair play to De Gea for getting them it.
I feel like they're the exact type of game we'd have contrived to lose in comical fashion in the past so I guess there's that. Not too...
Given a reputation as being a player that he wasn't for the majority of his career because of how he adapted latterly, is partially why. Not that he wasn't very good.
Can't agree with that, Rio was one of the best in Europe. Better than Vidic imo, but that was probably the best partnership in...
