Tyler Dibling set for rare Everton start in David Moyes experiment vs Sunderland
Everton have to find a solution for their woeful goalscoring record in the Premier League.
David Moyes’ team suffered their second consecutive league defeat against Tottenham as Thomas Frank’s team became the first side to beat the Toffees in their new home.
Beto was once again underwhelming at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the 3-0 loss to Spurs, but Thierno Barry hasn’t been any better.
The number nine position is undoubtedly giving the Scottish manager a headache, and it’s time he took some drastic measures to address the problem.
Iliman Ndiaye to start as Everton number nine vs Sunderland
Sunderland are set to welcome Moyes to the Stadium of Light on 3 November, and the newly promoted side will once again be out for blood.
The Black Cats have had an excellent start to the season, with Regis Le Bris’ high-flyers sitting fourth in the Premier League table.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Wearside outfit take the three points from the Merseyside outfit, but the Scottish manager can’t let that happen.
One of the Toffees’ biggest issues has been their lack of potency up front, having scored nine goals in nine league games.
It must also be noted that the Blues have gone four league games without finding the back of the net, which has undoubtedly hindered their start to the season since moving to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Merseyside outfit’s current top goalscorer is Iliman Ndiaye, with three goals, and he should start as a number nine against Sunderland.
Tyler Dibling start to life measured at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Dibling has had an underwhelming start to life under Moyes, despite big things being expected of him after a significant sum was paid to Southampton in the summer.
In four appearances for Everton, the 19-year-old has recorded an xA of 0.01, as per Sofascore, which is nowhere near good enough.
With a successful dribble rate of 25 per cent and losing possession 2.8 times per game, the young Englishman has flattered to deceive in L4.
Dibling could potentially yet be given a chance on the right-wing if Ndiaye starts up front, but it remains to be seen what Moyes will have up his sleeve for the visit to the Stadium of Light.
