Everton FC manager David Moyes hails the bravery of Marouane Fellaini
Marouane Fellaini 300[LNB]FOR A no-nonsense former centre-half like David Moyes, bravery is a quality he habitually expects from his players.[LNB]So for the Scot to credit an individual for being tough, it means they must be doing something right.[LNB]But even the Everton boss doffs his cap to Marouane Fellaini, and the fearless way he has returned to first team action since recovering from a serious ankle injury sustained in the Anfield derby last season.[LNB]Fellaini was his manager's pick of the bunch in their successful Carling cup tie against Huddersfield Town on Wednesday night, and the big Belgian scored the opening goal which set the Blues on their way to a rout.[LNB] For Moyes, it was a heartening sign that the 22-year-old is edging closer to the form which moved him to say his £15m capture from Standard Liege was as good as any other midfielder in the Premier League.[LNB]'He looked much better on Wednesday night. Felli did a really good job for us against Blackburn, but we asked him to do a specific job and deal with a lot of the high balls even though he wasn't really ready,' says Moyes.[LNB]'I know a lot of other people said there were other people on Wednesday night, but for me Fellaini was the pick on the pitch.[LNB]'He'd had a really bad injury - the same one Van Persie had for Arsenal, and they were done by the same surgeon.[LNB]'Since I've seen him back training though, he's never for one minute looked at his ankle. He's not feeling it all the time or playing with it in training.[LNB]'It's as if it never happened so good on him. The medical team here, even Mick Rathbone before he left, have all said he's the best patient they've had to work with.
