Donny is on loan to Everton for the remainder of the season.
He's not in the squad. Was he that bad in training?

Cup tied. He played in the Villa. You should know that with your username.
He's on the bench at home aka the sofa
Thanks!
My leg was pulled by people looking forward to the game in the performances thread.
Still think it's more likely he's crap in training

Sorry, I think I misled myself and you. Didn't know he was cup-tied till I googled.
van de Bench
FFS
He's probably just a bit naff.
Lampard was never going to change a winning team from the weekend.
I bet he wasn't a Lampard signing, but the board just forced him in. Unbelievable Everton hasnt given him any chances.
At the stage now where he should either Bogarde Utd for the rest of his contract or leave.
Dele Alli also does not start.
Solskjaer really must hate him to keep leaving him on the bench.
Should have gone to Palace.
Probably not too much to read into it yet. Unless he is really that slow in training.
Did Lampard say something about whether he will be playing / not playing him?
Oh ffs. He’s going to have to force his way into this team, let’s see if he can do it.
I would only start to worry if does get some significant minutes of the bench in the first few games.
Significant being the keyword here.

Just how bad in training is this guy?
Not surprising really. We had a good performance on the weekend so Lampard wants to keep momentum. The only changes he’s made have been forced.

Donny Van De Beek's former Manchester United teammate Dan James did not shy away from sharing his comical anecdotes about the Dutch midfielder on and off the pitch.
Hot off the heels of his move from Ajax, the Dutch trequartista may want to look away from James' recollections, especially as he gears up to find his next club.
Speaking on ITV show Loose Women (via the Daily Mail), James revealed how Van De Beek was a unusual man to mark: "I only played with him for twelve months but here's a quick story. I was playing for United and he was training at Carrington
"We were attacking and I was marking Donny in the midfield. He suddenly said, 'Ahhh, I'm hungry.' I replied, 'What?'
'I can't wait for the game to finish, I'm so hungry,' he said. Do you know a good restaurant in Manchester, James?'"
The rapid Welshman was further reminded of the 26-year-old’s continuous appetite during training when the duo were teammates at Carrington
" When he came to United I started to realise where this came from," James continued.
"When we had strength workouts he would sit in the gym with just a cup of coffee and a muffin.
"He was being paid by [Manchester] United in the hundreds of thousands, and he was sitting in the gym drinking coffee. Incredible natural talent, but very lazy."
Despite his ex-teammate's slightly embarrassing stories, the former United winger believes he can still cut it in the English top flight after claiming he is blessed with ‘golden genes’:
"I am confident that I can still play at that level," he told FIFA.com
"Physically, I would certainly be able to handle the pressure."
Let's be honest, if he was a player that was good enough to be starting for United, he would go there on loan and instantly show his talent and show why he should start for Everton. He's just average and not a difference maker.
Solskjaer's influence is enormous. A real puppet master.
Strange stories by Dan James, at Ajax he was known as a hard worker
Who was that hungry story originally about?
Donny Van De Beek
It's not real
yeah this is it. But people here probably will keep thinking he's benched already
They’ll think that because he is on the bench.
I've read it somewhere about somebody else.
It's still real to me damnit
I hope the Everton bench is more comfortable than our bench at least
Demerai Gray has gone off injured and Lampard has elected for Dele Alli as his replacement
this is suprising because VDB is a left winger somehow?Demerai Gray has gone off injured and Lampard has elected for Dele Alli as his replacement
Donny Van Der Bench.
I expect Donny to be an alternative for Allan or Andre Gomes
Fitting start to his loan i suppose
