http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 for picking up a three-match suspension at the crucial juncture of the campaign.
The Scott admitted that the Belgian footballer let his entire team down by his ruthless behaviour towards http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Shawcross-c31996 last week, and that his absence could cost the Toffees dearly.
The Football Association meted out a three-match suspension at Fellaini, following his headbutt on the Potters defender during a league match at the Britannia Stadium. Although the forward got away with any punishment during the match, the governing body
of football in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 later took the matter into their own hands, penalizing him for his disciplinary breach.
Consequently, the Merseyside club are now made to deal with a gaping hole in their frontline. Fellaini has proved to be the linchpin of their attack recently, with the other striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906 struggling to get into his stride.
With Everton competing for a place in the Champions League, Moyes lashed out at the Belgian ace for dealing his side a major blow by getting himself suspended.
The 49-year old said plainly that Fellaini was at wrong for his behaviour towards Shawcross last weekend, and that deep down, he was aware of it as well.
“I said at the time that I had felt he had let us down and that hasn’t changed,” he told the reporters.
“We needed him. This is a busy time of the season where you do pick up injuries and suspensions. Things will happen, you may get a sending off — but you can’t do what he has done.”
The Toffees currently occupy the fourth slot in the Premier League table, following their controversy-marred 2-1 win over West Ham United at Upton Park on Saturday.
Although Fellaini’s void will be difficult to fill, the manager claimed that he had enough options to deal with the predicament.
He called upon his side to give it their call during the busy Christmas schedule, as it is that part of the season when things start to take a turn.
“It’s really important if you can somehow pick up the points. One point for a draw is good but we need to start trying to find a few victories out of that,” he added.
