WELL then, last week’s decision to give some protection to Steven Pienaar by resting him for the Carling Cup ended up being rendered pointless, didn’t it?
One lunge by his international team-mate Aaron Mokoena, who is becoming of a serial kicker of Everton players, ended with yet another star player on crutches.
It’s getting to the point were we are getting afraid to heap praise on any of David Moyes’s men for fear they will end up half crippled within the week.
