Everton boss Marco Silva should consider giving centre-forward Cenk Tosun a start up front against Cardiff City on Saturday.
The Toffees welcome Neil Warnock’s men to Goodison Park on the back of an encouraging performance at Stamford Bridge last weekend, where they kept Chelsea to a 0-0 draw.
And it would be a great opportunity for Tosun to be given another chance to show his worth after being demoted to the bench by Silva after a 3-1 defeat to West Ham United in September.
The Turkey international started the first five league games of the season but the poor showing against the Hammers saw Silva start experimenting with Dominic Calvert Lewin as an option before moving Richarlison up front.
The manager has been looking to find his perfect attacking combination but has had recent success with the Brazilian as striker and Bernard, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott behind him.
But Walcott’s continued struggle to make an impact on the Everton team should tempt Silva to moving Richarlison back to the right-wing and let Tosun lead the attack.
The former Arsenal man has been clumsy and his controlling is still letting him down after all these years.
The introduction of Bernard seems to have been working for the Merseyside club and the attack could pose a real threat if it has him and Richarlison running at defenders from the flanks.
The 27-year-old Tosun, however, should offer more commitment when given the chance. His accuracy has let him down on too many occasions this season and he only has two goals to his name so far.
Bernard’s creative precision though could be just what he needs to get back on the goals and could spark him to fully get his Everton career firing.
Cardiff’s vulnerable defence should be an exciting prospect for Silva to further experiment with combinations with the availability of Sigurddson still a doubt after suffering an ankle injury at Chelsea.
