Everton midfielder Leon Osman knows teammate Marouane Fellaini has become a marked man.
The Belgium midfielder was subjected to sledging, a few rough challenges and boos from the home fans whenever he touched the ball in Everton's defeat at West Bromwich Albion.
"When you are as effective as he is, teams are going to find a way to stop you," said Osman. "That's up to him and us as a team to find ways around that.
"People are going to try and stop him playing and being effective for us.
"On other occasions we have been OK with that and found ways around that, playing in different parts of the field, but apart from the opening half an hour, we couldn't really operate."
