Everton FC fans letters

IT was a very disappointing result against Manchester United, due to a woeful performance which lamentably bordered on being contemptuous.
However, for probity purposes, Tim Howard had no chance with any of the goals and Sylvain Distin and Johnny Heitinga produced spirited displays.
It has been stated on numerous occasions that Everton's commodious injury list has hampered progress but there were nine internationals in the starting line-up on Saturday.
The Blues are now at a tenuous point of the season and a realpolitik approach is urgently required to guide Everton from a potential relegation fight.
Fundamentally, if the rumours are true that a £20 million bid is in the pipeline for Jack Rodwell, then the board must accept it and provide this fund for Moyes to bring in new players, especially as Steven Pienaar, Joseph Yobo and Yakubu will not be available in January.

I WOULD love Jack Rodwell to stay with Everton.
But it's a short career and if he sees a chance to earn some silver elsewhere, so be it. Just let's not have another 'Joleon Lescott' fiasco.

I FEAR Diniyar Bilyaletdinov will be gone from Goodison in the summer when he realises he's in a team that doesn't know how to pass or move into space.
We're pedestrian going forward, susceptible to counter-attack because we're so slow and incapable of stringing more than three passes together without either humping it up the pitch or giving it away.
Forget Europe; we're going to get sucked into a dogfight unless we start being more positive.
Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill can't play in the same team; if we have Louis Saha up front, it's one or the other.
I just hope Fernando Torres is injured for the derby, because God help us if he's fit.
