# Everton: Fans unhappy with Moise Kean’s omission from starting XI against Chelsea

**Many Everton fans were unhappy with Moise Kean being left out of the Toffees’ starting line-up by Duncan Ferguson for today’s Premier League clash against Chelsea.**

In his [first game since taking temporary charge](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11879695/duncan-ferguson-everton-caretaker-manager-incredibly-proud) following the [dismissal of Marco Silva](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11829928/marco-silva-sacked-by-everton-after-liverpool-defeat) during the week, the caretaker boss went with [Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a front two](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-chelsea/teams/408134), with the 19-year-old Italy striker [named among the substitutes](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-chelsea/teams/408134).

Everton announced their starting line-up on their official Twitter channel [@Everton](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1203275496328433664) an hour before kick-off.

Ferguson’s decision to [move Richarlison into a centre-forward role](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-chelsea/teams/408134) from the [left winger role he occupied in previous games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710) paid quick dividends as the Brazilian gave Everton the lead with a [header in the first five minutes](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-chelsea/408134), with Calvert-Lewin also justifying his selection by [scoring twice in the second half](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-chelsea/408134).

Kean had [not scored in 13 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdaten/spieler/364135) for the Toffees since [joining from Juventus](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1300376/everton-sign-striker-kean) in the summer and has struggled to get into the team, with just [two Premier League starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdaten/spieler/364135) to his name so far.

These Everton fans on Twitter voiced their disagreement with Ferguson’s decision not to start with the Italian teenager in attack:
