The Story in 60 Seconds

Ethan Lamb of Football FanCast argues that Everton manager David Moyes must drop Brennan Johnson from the starting lineup following a disappointing performance in a 2-2 draw against Hull City. Johnson, who joined from Crystal Palace during the summer, played 66 minutes and received a 4/10 match rating after registering only 27 touches, fewer than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Everton secured a point at the KCOM Stadium courtesy of goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Theirno Barry, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches. However, Lamb highlights that Johnson failed to complete any dribbles, lost all of his duels, and managed no shots on target before being substituted, leading the writer to urge Moyes to take decisive action.
