Heitinga: I am best centre-half at Everton

Everton defender Johnny Heitinga insists he's the best centre-half at the club.

The Dutchman is struggling to come to terms with being stuck on the bench.

Heitinga said: "It's strange for me to sit on the bench at Everton. I will always claim that I am the best central defender at this club.

"I could understand it if the manager leaves me out of the team when I make big mistakes. But right now I can't get over the last few weeks.

"The manager is not a big talker. Never has been. He does not explain his decisions to others either. He just says everybody will get playing time."
