Sean Dyche makes colossal blunder in Everton v Fulham
Sean Dyche has named his Everton playing eleven for the Fulham clash on 26 October which will be held at Goodison Park.
The Toffees boss has named Michael Keane, Ashley Young and Idrissa Gueye among the starters.
Jarrad Branthwaite has returned to fitness but is only on the bench for this one with James Tarkowski set to partner Keane.
Jarrad Branthwaite on the bench and not the starting eleven may cost Everton
Dyche may regret not putting Branthwaite back in the playing eleven and it’s a decision that could prove costly.
Fulham have been dynamic in the final third this season and having someone like the 22-year-old would’ve helped the Toffees a great deal.
Their chances of a clean sheet have reduced with him now not in the playing eleven.
If things start badly and the hosts find themselves down at half-time, Dyche may opt to bring him off the bench.
While Keane has not done awfully, he’s clearly not at the same level as Branthwaite and Marco Silva will be delighted that he’s on the bench.
Hopefully, somebody else in blue can step up and ensure that the Toffees pick up three points at home against a side that have started the season strongly.
