He left the French midfielder on the bench for an hour at Crystal Palace.

Everton have completed the signing on Morgan Schneiderlin from Manchester United

Koeman explained that he left Schneiderlin out of his starting lineup because he felt to include him would have been unfair on the players who walloped Manchester City 4-0 last week.

He said:"It wasn't fair to leave anyone out from the team that did so well last week. That's why he didn't start today and I told him so."

Schneiderlin came on for half an hour yesterday in place of Gareth Barry, but was outshone by Ross Barkley and Tom Davies in Everton's midfield.
