The all conquering team of 2014
Comments (26) : Let me introduce you to the the glorious treble winning Everton team of 2014:
GK- Ruddy (27yrs)
After another season on loan up north in 2010, an unfortunate injury to Howard and Mucha saw Ruddy get a chance for the 2011 season. He took it with both hands, soon becoming No 1 for Everton and pushing Joe Hart for the England gloves.
LB- Baines (29 yrs)
After being Capello's surprise pick at LB in the 2010 World Cup, Baines excelled himself and has continued to do so at club and country level ever since.
CB- Heitinga (30 yrs)
Everton captain. Mr Dependable.
CB- Duffy (22yrs)
Found renewed focus after recovering from near fatal freak training accident. A pillar of strength for reserves in 2010 and stood out as best player on loan for Championship Liverpool in 2011. He was given a chance in 2012 and rose to the challenge.
RB- Coleman (25 yrs)
After single handedly saving Blackpool from relegation in 2010 he came back to Everton in 2011 season to replace grandpa Pip. Once Moyes corrected a few positional faults, he went on to become one of the most feared right backs in the Premier League.
MC- Fellaini (26) and Rodwell (23)
The strongest midfield pairing in Europe. Kenwright almost had a heart attack when Moyes turned down a £120M bid from Mourinho's Real Madrid for the pair in 2012 and the decision looks vindicated. Class.
AMR- Baxter (22yrs)
With no money Baxter was asked to occasionally fill in the Pienaar hole in 2010. He struggled at first but grew in confidence. By 2012 he was looking like a premiership gem. The new improved Leon Osman.
AMC- Bilyaletdinov (29yrs)
Began to fulfill his potential in 2010. By 2012 he was being hailed as the new Frank Lampard. Scored 24 goals in all fixtures in the 2013 campaign.
AMR- Moses (23yrs)
Pinched from relegated Wigan for the 2011 season. His pace and power saw him soon established as a fan favourite. Has developed into a top class player.
ST- ?????????
Someone awesome and young who was found by Moyes around 2010 to help out Saha and Yakubu... Romelu Lukaku? Sturridge? Jutkiweicz?!! Suggestions welcome.
Subs:
Areta (32) Still got it.
Jagielka (31) Solid as a rock.
Gosling (24) Still scores vital goals
Barkley (20) the new Jack rodwell?
Hallam Hope (20?) Very exciting young prospect.
Howard (36) God loves you T-Ho.
Cahill (34) Just because.
Squad player- Fernando Torres (30)
Picked up on a free when Liverpool went into administration in 2012. Useful for Carling Cup.
So there you have it. Implausible of course but not totally impossible... well, not all of it.

What were the derby scores?
New Everton Chairman, Sir Paul, spoke of his ambition for his recently-crowned FIFA Club World Champions...
Lord Justice Finbury stated that the defendant’s lawyer had failed to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Mr Gerrard was not fit to lace Mikel Arteta’s boots. So he got the job.
Who's this Barkley kid?
What happened to the FSW? I'll bet the stubborn bugger is still "coaching his squad" (with a bit of luck!).
And I have a teammate from Leeds who insists that Garbutt is the real deal.
But what's all this age prejudice? Barca, Real, Inter all have mainstay players well up into their 30s. Personally, I believe that Arteta and Jags will still be in full command of the ship in 2014. 32 and 31 aren't old in this era of top conditioning.
Does everybody else start copying the 'two right wingers' formation? I'm surprised no-one worked out a way of playing against it.
I liked the 'squad player' bit.
I'll go for the middle ground.
Not convinced by the selection but combination of a squad that's been together for years and introduction of youth talent, there's no reason we shouldn't be finishing in the top 4 at the very least.
That must mean that Moyes is not our manager anymore then?
Don't forget the huge multi-storey car park for match days. Right where the Kop stood should do nicely....
But you overlooked Rooney's return following ManU's demise after new Uefa debt rules came into play.
