Lots of Everton fans have been reacting on social media after it was revealed that Marco Silva had dropped Moise Kean from the squad for Saturday’s win over Southampton as a disciplinary measure for breaching club rules.
It is thought Kean was omitted from the squad, despite travelling to St. Mary’s, after he arrived late for a team meeting ahead of the clash.
The £27.5million summer signing from Juventus has since apologised for the incident and the matter is considered closed by the club, although this resembles only the latest incident for Kean.
Silva has previously been frustrated by the striker’s timekeeping, while Italy Under 21 boss Luigi Di Biagio likewise dropped Kean for disciplinary reasons in the summer for off-the-field matters.
Kean had arrived late for a team meeting ahead of Italy’s crunch Group Stage match with Belgium while representing his country at the 2019 European U21 Championship.
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness later tore into the 19-year-old while speaking on Sky Sports, questioning why Juventus would sell someone of his potential unless alarm bells were ringing in Turin.
Kean has started just four games since his arrival at Goodison Park in the summer, two in the Premier League and two in the Carabao Cup, but was taken off at half-time in his last appearance against Watford.
Does Kean have a future at Goodison Park?
Yes, absolutely
As long as he's learnt from this
No, we have to get rid
Here are some of the reactions shared to the club’s justification behind dropping Kean for Saturday’s win at Southampton…
Moise Kean rightly punished for breach of team rules. As a Fan base lets not go OTT though we all been late in our lives

He’s a kid and he’s done it before with Italy. No issues, just hope the rest of the squad can help him learn and grow

To be fair to him I wouldn’t bother turning up at all, after the way that clown in charge is treating him

People saying he’s only 19 and who hasn’t been late for work. Been late twice for us that we know and Italy too. Have Davies DCL or any other young players been getting dropped for this? I wonder if Schneiderlin was late would the fans make excuses for him.

Only those on the inside know the details. Probably on Kean knows why he was late or how long he was late.
I was almost late myself today due to traffic.
Still feel a bit sorry for him to be honest the fact he’s barely had a sniff. Still only a kid.
