...45 minutes for Everton?
It was Moyes' choice not to play him. We have a CB who's ill suited to RB and he chose to play him pretty much all season.

He was a place-holder on the bench, and Moyes 'eyes in the dressing room' (his words).
Ireland played him as they're shite and international footie is different.
We just decided to give him a farewell tour, which is fine, he deserves it. Previous MessagePrevious Message
But as MikeJ previously suggested, must've been a favour to keep him fit for Ireland after all he's done for us.
If that's the case, fair enough, but enough now. Previous Message
Surely we can expect to hear a retirement announcement before the weekend? Because if not he’s either
- staying another year
- leaving but with no home send-off
- disappearing quietly out of the club.
I wonder if instead there could be some kind of preseason testimonial?
