Billy

whilst i was looking at the scores from last nights international footy i noticed that our lad Bily scored for Russia last night after coming on. and it got me thinking about this enigma of a player we have in our midst at Everton. its fair to see he's not everyones cup of tea and hasn't set the world alight in his stay with us so far. so the question that springs to mind is: is he rubbish or he is decent?

i've always thought and still do that he is a very good player that is made to look bad by not getting a good run in the team to settle in and being played out of position. i also think he's being asked by Moyes to do things he's not good at and should not be in the team for - such as tracking back and tackling.

its fairly obvious to me that he is an attacking player and needs to be played as such in a central position just off the front men (the famous 'in the hole' position) where he can use his skill and creativity freely to carve so chances out and get some shots in. does anyone hit it better from long range than him in the current squad? i think not and is crazy not to have him playing where he can use that

It doesn't rain like this in Siberia
