Howard Kendall: David Moyes must nail down his first choice Everton FC eleven

24 September 2010 04:00
EVERTON'S ongoing woes owe a lot to the manager not being sure what his best 11 is yet.[LNB]I have always insisted that if you know your best team, a lot looks after itself, and I'm not sure David Moyes is 100% on what constitutes his strongest line-up for various reasons.[LNB]He has got a good strong squad, yet they have still suffered a troubled start to the season and the pressure has grown to find a system and team which works and stick to it.[LNB]I'm not one for rotating players, if you ask Jamie Carragher whether he likes rotation, he'll tell you he wants to play week in week out. That's the right attitude from top players.[LNB] I was fortunate enough to have my first team as an automatic process. It picked itself, and I always had Kevin Richardson and Alan Harper to come and fill in anywhere.[LNB]They were always banging on my door asking to play, and Kevin Richardson was so good that he left for Arsenal and won a championship there.[LNB]Yet, the fact was I knew I had better players. I had men like Kevin Sheedy. It helps everyone when you know your best side, the players respond positively and they can get used to playing together.[LNB]Premier League club squads are too big these days. Managers are pressured into changing things around - it's nonsense.
