He should now be a squad player, O’Brien and Branthwaite being the mainstays.
He’s played his part in seasons gone, and been a leader when we had none…

Who is next Chocolate Firegaaard?

I would say that Garner’s form fell off a cliff later in the season. But if he wants to be a top player at a top club – then he needs to be playing another 20 games on top of the ones he already did – and at the level of the first 20 he played.

Other than that – as Jay says. Armstrong, George, Dibling, Alcaraz, Aznou all woefully underused in the run in.

Can anybody think of a young player that actually excelled under his tutelage? I can’t think of any.

Rooney was a left winger / rarely played a 90mins for us until he left. Joined Man Utd and was an automatic starter immediately and one of Utds most important players.

Coleman – we saw nothing of the player we saw under Martinez whilst Moyes was in charge. A defensive right winger under Moyes and not trusted at right back.

Barkley – wouldn’t play him. Martinez joins the club and Ross is starting straight away and the star of a brilliant 13/14 season.

Stones – very young but not a hint of a chance under Moyes. Within days of Martinez as our manager he’s doing a panenka vs Juventus.

Mustafi – no chances offered. Ends up winning the World Cup.

Players such as Bidwell, Forshaw, Duffy and Lundstram who’ve all had solid careers – they all could’ve been squad players for Everton for the last decade but Moyes would not give them a sniff of development

Come on. Tarks by can be immense and a good leader. He makes mistakes like Keane but adds a physical side to our especially on set pieces.
Is Glasner still available?

Shame Mike, I liked the look of him at the World Cup.
I mean, he’s no Seamus Coleman but he looked decent to me.
