Everton supporters love Anthony Gordon’s post of solidarity with Moise Kean following the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Social media fury was sparked following the game against Manchester United, as Duncan Ferguson substituted Kean on with 20 minutes to go before hauling the Italian off again after 18 minutes (as per BBC).
With supporters up in arms about the move which has seen the interim Scottish manager slated (via Independent), Gordon posted a picture of himself with the 19-year-old which Everton fans loved (via Anthony Gordon).

Decent this showing support publicly! Kean needs to know he’s got backing from the fans as well

Oof

Beautiful support! This “coach” can’t do that, it makes the player look silly all over the world. This is not the attitude of those who know what they do !!!

Should players be posting about such a hotly contentious topic at the club?No, they should be quiet on it
Yes, solidarity is a good thing

As the 18-year-old has been working closely with the Toffees’ first team (per Liverpool Echo) but has seen little action on the pitch, Gordon may be able to sympathise with Kean’s feelings.
However, whichever side of the should he or should he not have been substituted debate supporters were on, they were delighted to see solidarity between players.
Get your arm round him and tell him to bag a pair against Leicester midweek and all will be fine

Right thing to do come out and show him he has the support of his team mates publicly…. other players should follow suit

Is right Anthony lad. Wrong that today

What do we think?
While it is incredibly arguable, as Kean did not seem to be putting in any work rate at all after being introduced, Ferguson still should not have hauled him off in the manner that he did and ignore the player as he walked down the tunnel.
Whichever side you are on, be it Kean’s or Ferguson’s, it is good to seem some solidarity between players – although it does not feel like the end of this has been heard.
