Responding to a post from Everton’s official club account, while wishing a happy birthday to summer signing Moise Kean, a handful of supporters are also hopeful that manager Carlo Ancelotti will start to play his compatriot more often.
Kean, who joined the Toffees last summer in a £29 million deal, has scored just one Premier League goal all season – with that strike finally coming against Newcastle during their 2-2 draw back in late January. The Italian, who has been largely second fiddle to the deadly striking partnership of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, celebrated his 20th birthday on Friday – with fans flocking to social media and congratulating the 20-year-old on his two-decade anniversary.
Described as ‘exciting’ by TEAMtalk, this could be one of many reasons why Toffees supporters want him to feature more often despite his underwhelming form. During the celebrations, a handful of supporters stated their wish that Kean get a run of games to help improve his sorry goal return – imploring manager Ancelotti to play the youngster on Twitter. Fans are also fond of keeping Kean on the books, with no thoughts of selling him until he has a chance to show his potential. Find all of their best comments down below.

If Richarlison moving to the right is an option, would it not make sense to try it now for 5 or 10 games, rather than stick Walcott, Sidibe or someone else out there?
Would also give Kean a chance to get some proper minutes.

He’s a beast. Start him regularly & he’ll destroy every defender.
