Everton’s loss against Aston Villa has highlighted a number of issues on Merseyside for David Moyes.
Struggles up top have plagued Everton all season, and Wednesday night was no different.
Moyes has spoken to Dominic Calvert-Lewin about his form of late following his appointment over the weekend.
Despite his struggles, Moyes gave the Englishman the nod up front for Everton in their defeat against Aston Villa.
Everton are on the search for a new forward before the January transfer window comes to an end.
It seems Moyes’ team selection has already caused an issue with one of the players he has inherited at Goodison.

Beto left angered over his Everton situation
With a lack of game time to his name, Beto is keen to leave Everton in the January window with interest coming from Italy.
Wednesday was the first insight into how Moyes would select his starting XI and Beto played a mere seven minutes of action.
According to Tuttosport, the decision to start the Portuguese striker on the bench and play such little game time has not gone down well.
Beto is believed to have been angered by being snubbed in favour of Calvert-Lewin.
Following Moyes’ decision, it is claimed Beto is now looking to put his foot down and demand the Friedkins allow him to leave.
Prior to the game, there was the suggestion Moyes wanted to use Beto and provide the striker with a fresh start on Merseyside.
But it seems as if the 26-year-old wanted to see the new manager show his faith in him from the very start.
