Carlo Ancelotti came in for criticism from some supporters after bringing on Moise Kean too late to make an impact. The 19-year-old replaced Fabian Delph in the 82nd minute of Everton’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal and failed to bag an equaliser at the Emirates Stadium.
Where will Everton finish in the Premier League?
1-4
5-7
8-13
14-20
As per WhoScored, Kean had four touches, took one shot which was off target, made one successful dribble and made one inaccurate pass. The Italian international has played only 33 minutes of Premier League football in the last month and fans want to see more of him.
As much as defence were poor, this result is on #Ancellotti . Talks fri about having a better mental attitude playing the top 6 then selects that negative first 11. Created nothing first half apart from the 2 scrappy goals. 2nd half was better but too late introducing Kean #efc

Should’ve got something out of it. Played some good football, created chances, really should’ve taken more of them. Time for delph and Sigurdsson to go, Gomes and Holgate in midfield please, Moise Kean to play more as well

Kean needs a run of games but as long as we’re in the running for Europe I don’t see Ancelotti changing too much

I think in the last couple matches against poorer competition we will see more Moise Kean and Richy right. But we shall see.

Treatment of #Kean is a disgrace. Had his best game for us against Newcastle and barely had a sniff of a chance since. #efc

Kean has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring one goal. He’s featured in 11 of Everton’s last 14 Premier League games, but the majority of his appearances have come from the bench. The 19-year-old has started only three league outings since October and finds himself third in the pecking order.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin & Richarlison have been regulars under Ancelotti and have 26 goals & assists between them. Kean is unlikely to get in ahead of either of the pair unless they suffer a dip in form, so he’ll have to be patient for opportunities. Fans hope Ancelotti gives will bring him on earlier in the future.
