Marouane Fellaini and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov are finding their feet at Everton now - David Moyes
IT IS sometimes easy to forget amid all the talk of big transfer fees and even bigger hair, just how young Everton's Belgian enigma Marouane Fellaini is.[LNB]The former Standard Liege recruit celebrated only his 22nd birthday last month, with the team's fortunes at a perilously low ebb.[LNB]Fellaini may look older than 22, and is now into his second full season as a premier league player, but he is still young enough to be learning.[LNB]During that learning curve though, he has fast become a major talking point among supporters.[LNB]What is his best position? Is his work-rate good enough? Have we yet seen his new potential? Fellaini has been the name on bluenoses' lips perhaps more than any other player since his £15m arrival.[LNB]He did not enjoy the smoothest of pre-seasons, laid low with a virus and losing enough weight to concern his manager.[LNB]But the laid-back midfielder has gone about quietly answering the doubters with a string of recent superlative performances in a blue jersey.[LNB]Likewise an even newer recruit, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.[LNB]The 24-year-old has spoken candidly of the big differences between the Russian top flight and the Premier League, and how getting up to speed has been a tall order.[LNB]He has had to contend with the frustration of a three-match ban after a straight red-card against Aston Villa which said more about his attempts to embrace the tackling art of the English game than any malicious streak.[LNB]Then he fluffed a chance in last weekend's Goodison derby that could have set Everton on the way to a deserved victory.
