David Moyes has obvious James Garner solution for Bryan Mbeumo in Everton vs Manchester United
David Moyes should make some drastic changes as Everton face Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday.
The Toffees lost to Bournemouth last time out, with Andoni Iraola’s team coming back from a goal down to win 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Fans in L4 have been left frustrated with the Blues’ home form, and things surely aren’t going to get any easier when an in-form Man United visits Merseyside on 23 February.
Michael Carrick has won four and drawn one of his first five games in charge of the Red Devils, a stark contrast to Ruben Amorim’s tenure, leaving the Blues with some tough calls to make about their starting lineup.
James Garner should replace Jake O’Brien in Everton vs Manchester United
Jake O’Brien was sent off against Bournemouth and will be unavailable for the Man United fixture.
The Republic of Ireland international has been Moyes’ go-to right-back since he replaced Sean Dyche, despite supporters in Hill Dickinson Stadium wanting to see some major investment in the position over the last two transfer windows.
It’s evident that the Scottish manager feels the centre-back is better equipped to play the role over the likes of Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman.
With O’Brien now not an option, Moyes should turn to James Garner, who has played as a full-back on a few occasions this season.
Bryan Mbeumo has been in electric form for Carrick, playing on the left-wing in recent matches, and Patterson and Coleman may not be able to cope with him.
Garner has been incredible for the Merseyside outfit this season, and with Harrison Armstrong capable of taking his role in the midfield, it’s surely a no-brainer to play the 24-year-old at right-back.

David Moyes must stop blind faith in player at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Thierno Barry had a purple patch a few weeks back, but he’s back to putting in underwhelming performances for the Toffees.
Everton haven’t been able to rely on the former Villarreal striker to consistently score for them, and Beto now deserves an opportunity to start.
The Guinea-Bissau centre-forward has started just eight games in the Premier League this season, and has made an impact coming off the bench of late.
If Moyes opts for a toothless Barry to start against Man United, it will undoubtedly be another long night for fans in L4.
