How David Moyes can finally unleash Tyler Dibling in Everton’s clash with Sunderland
Tyler Dibling has endured a miserable start to his Everton career.
Everton signed Dibling in the summer, in one of the most exciting signings of the transfer window, due to his immense potential.
Everton paid £40million to secure Dibling’s services, and so far he has not shown that he can justify that fee.
However, he has not exactly been given many chances by David Moyes, and that must change when the Blues travel to Sunderland on 3 November.
Tyler Dibling has had an underwhelming start at Everton
Dibling has struggled to get into the Everton team, and has been restricted to just four appearances in the Premier League, with just one start.
Dibling has averaged 8.8 touches per match and has created just 0.1 expected assists since he joined the Blues, as per Sofascore.
The young winger has completed just 0.3 of the dribbles that he has attempted, for a 25 per cent success rate.
He has also lost possession 2.8 times per match, which suggests that he is not being utilised to the best of his ability.
How Everton can unleash Dibling vs Sunderland
Beto’s place leading the line for Everton is supposedly under threat after a string of dismal performances in front of goal.
The Guinea-Bissau striker has just one league goal this season, and his backup, Thierno Barry, is yet to score for the Toffees.
That could prompt Moyes into a radical change, with Iliman Ndiaye potentially being handed a shot in the number nine role, given how badly the current striking options have played.
That would leave a spot open on the right flank, which Dibling could make his own and finally be unleashed by the Scotsman, after a poor start to his time in L3.
He averaged 30.4 touches last season with the Saints, completing 51 per cent of his dribble attempts and scored twice, so the potential is clearly there for him to make the required impact.
Both of those strikes were with his left foot, so cutting in from the right could be the perfect solution to end his woes on Merseyside.
