Friedkin Group transfer failings exposed as Everton suffer from another curious call

Chris Beesley argues that Everton's squad depth issues under The Friedkin Group were exposed during a 2-2 draw at Hull City's MKM Stadium. The match occurred shortly after reports emerged that TFG is open to selling Everton less than 22 months following their takeover. Additionally, Everton suffered another contentious refereeing decision when Brennan Johnson saw a potential first Premier League goal for the club disallowed for offside.

Beesley highlights how injuries forced manager David Moyes to deploy central defender Jarrad Branthwaite out of position at left-back. Despite goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry giving Everton a 2-1 lead following Joe Gelhardt's opener, defensive lapses allowed Hull substitute Mohamed Belloumi to score a late equalizer.
