Premier League 2019-20: 3 key areas Carlo Ancelotti must address at Everton

#3 How to get the best of an inconsistent squad

Can Ancelotti get the best out of inconsistent stars like Moise Kean?

Of all of the Premier League’s squads, perhaps none – outside of Arsenal – can boast as many talented, but inconsistent players as Everton’s. Once he takes over the club, Carlo Ancelotti will be tasked with getting the best out of them if he wants to make them climb back up the Premier League table.

The Toffees have spent big money over the past few years on the likes of Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott, Cenk Tosun, Moise Kean and Richarlison, and while all of those players have shown flashes of their talent at Goodison Park, they’ve also been completely anonymous at times too, making things extremely frustrating for Everton fans.

Ancelotti therefore has two choices; he can either attempt to get the most out of those players, or he could instead perform a wholesale clear-out at Goodison, selling a lot of the club’s bigger names likely at a financial loss given their lack of success at Everton.

Dealing with Kean should probably be a priority for the Italian boss; the 19-year old was signed from Juventus in the summer with a lot of hype after bursting on the scene at the Allianz Stadium a couple of years ago, but has failed to find his feet in England and was recently substituted by caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson after just 18 minutes in Everton’s draw with Manchester United.

If Ancelotti can find a way to get the best from the teenager – and can manage to coax more consistency from the likes of Iwobi and Walcott too – then he probably doesn’t need to change a lot at Goodison Park. If he can’t do that, then Everton’s board have a lot of work to do in the next couple of transfer windows.
