Is it bad form though? Yes he has suffered a major injury and I think that has took his toll on him. I don't think he can perform to the level we aspire to be at. The amount of silly mistakes he makes per game is concerning, yes it might be small ones but look at Saturday, he gave away the pen (which was the right decision). He often lets the ball roll under his feet, a few times now he cant play a simple 1-2 pass past a defender. His crossing isn'tt as good anymore and his defensive work I've always had a problem with, even before his injury, infact I called for him to be played as right winger before.
Stuff like that are signalling for me that he is done, which I hate. Please don't take it as me saying this as I don't like Coleman, I love the bastard, he loves us. He is Everton through and through, but no player is bigger than the club as we are led to believe and therefore for me, he needs to be replaced. With him being the biggest fan favourite (the cheer when the team is read out pre match is always the loudest for him) makes it harder but its time to phase him out like we have done with Baines.
As for the Eto'o argument, I disagree. Didn't bring Barca down, didn't bring Inter down, nor did he bring the Russian team (not going to attempt to type that out!), Chelsea, the Turkish team etc. In fact majority of them he made them better. He spotted the flawed aspects of Martinez and was bombed out because of that. Lukaku didn't have any loyalty to us, just ask Haf! Yet I bet you would loved to of kept him.
