Everton manager Sean Dyche has a big decision to make about his starting line-up when it comes to his attack.

It has been a problem area for him across his time at the club but there have been bright sparks from the likes of Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye who have been their standout attackers.

However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has toiled and while he has shown some positive moments but he’s also been guilty of not being clinical enough – something which was apparent last season when he underperformed his expected goals by 5.93.

Moving onto the problem area – the topic of the article – the right-wing is an area which neither Jack Harrison or Jesper Lindstrom have managed to impress in. Harrison, the Leeds United loanee has started five of the seven games while the Napoli loanee has started just twice.

Neither has managed a goal contribution but Harrison has been the better performer. Granted, he should be given his experience and the fact he was here last season. There’s also the fact he was ranked in the top 15 attackers in the league across the first six games, according to the CIES Observatory. In that case, he has to do better.

Against Newcastle he was guilty of losing possession 13 times while he managed just 16 passes in total as well as no key passes, no shots and no crosses. That performance could give Lindstrom an opening in the side. However, he is still adapting to English football and what is his second new league and country since leaving Frankfurt.
