David Moyes looks on during Everton vs Bournemouth
David Moyes looks on during Everton vs Bournemouth
Everton manager David Moyes has been criticised for many of his decisions during his time at the club.
The Toffees thought they'd opened the scoring through Brennan Johnson in the first half, before the goal was disallowed for offside.
After the break, Hull City found themselves in front as Joe Gelhardt lifted the ball over Jordan Pickford after a mistake from Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
The Toffees equalised shortly after as Maitland-Niles bounced back with a superb pass into the box for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to head home from close range.
Everton then found himself in front as Thierno Barry raced through on goal before firing an excellent finish beyond the goalkeeper.
Just six minutes later, Mohamed Belloumi fired into the corner after some terrible defending from Everton, with Pickford getting a hand to his strike.
There was much made of Moyes' decision to start Jarrad Branthwaite at left-back for Everton, but it was slightly understandable due to Vitalii Mykolenko's injury.
There is a lack of options at left-back for Everton, with Mykolenko the only senior option, so it was always going to be a player playing out of position in this role.
One decision that Moyes had little reason to make was starting Johnson on the right-hand side of attack.
The Welsh international has struggled since arriving at Everton during the summer transfer window, and playing him against a side that sit so deep and have so little of the ball didn't make much sense.
Johnson is at his best in transition, playing against sides with a higher line so he can use his pace to get in behind.
If Moyes had no other options, then you could understand it, but Johnson has plenty of competition for the position.
George and Dibling must be scratching their heads

Both Tyrique George and Tyler Dibling are genuine, exciting options for Everton on the right-hand side of attack.
The young duo have shown promise this season, and they are much more suited to a game that requires them to regularly break down the opposition defence.
Johnson was hooked in the second half after another disappointing display - George and Dibling must have been sat there scratching their heads, finding out Johnson was starting ahead of them.
It's not a huge criticism of Johnson. He's going to be effective in certain games against certain opposition, but the game against Hull isn't one that was going to suit him.
