Football Forum: 'Donovan can replace Blues’ deadwood'

THEY do say that to win cups and medals, especially in the Premier League, it is vital to get off to a good start because if you fail to do so it becomes a struggle to achieve a top league position.Everton have failed to achieve the start required and the fans certainly won't be too happy and realise it is an uphill task.No one on the treatment table, a full collection of players available, fans relishing a top four finish - the pressure is on David Moyes now.I also think the manager has made a mistake - a vital one - for he should have enlisted Landon Donovan - whatever the cost. The reason for not recruiting Donovan was that he was too expensive - Everton could have sold a striker or two - he has those who don't strike anymore.But he holds on to them and gives glowing reports. Move the deadwood and get Donovan in. He is the difference between success and failure.Mr PJ Foley, CoventryDISASTROUS start from the Blues once again.Why is Moyes sticking with his favourites Neville, Osman, Hibbert (who did play well against Wolves to be fair) when he has Rodwell, Coleman, pre-season talent Gueye and more at his disposal?Tim Edwards, HuytonCOME ON Moyes sort out this terrible start.What is it with our lack of endeavour early doors? Saha and Pienaar aren't even bothered.James Cook, L1
