Supporters of Everton have slammed Moise Kean after the club posted footage of the Italian doing tricks with a football at the training ground.
On Friday, the Toffees posted a video of the 19-year-old Italian at Finch Farm showing his skills with a football (as per Everton), which had some fans slating him.

Style over substance. He’s been trying to score the spectaculars instead of just putting the ball in the net. Concentrate on the basics then maybe you’ll have the confidence to try something a bit special. If not, at least you’ll be forgiven if you’ve been scoring.

Keepy uppies don’t necessarily mean you’re good at football and he’s making both look difficult considering that’s all he does all day.

Will Moise Kean ever fulfil his potential while at Everton?Yes, when given the minutesNo, he's just not good enough |
In 20 appearances for the Goodison Park club so far this term, Kean has a return of zero goals and one assist to his name (as per Transfermarkt).
With a weak average rating of 6.24/10 (as per WhoScored), supporters have so far been unimpressed with the former Juventus man and let their feelings show on the club’s post.
Goals please.

Can someone show him where the goal is??

But can he score a goal? Nope

What do we think?
While the skills are, without a doubt, silky, the supporters do have a point – there is no point in just doing something like that on the training ground without results on the pitch.
However, on the other hand, it would not be incorrect to suggest that Kean has not had a fair crack on the pitch yet, with only 646 minutes across 20 games, only six of which were starts (as per Transfermarkt).
