Everton’s Premier League match against Brentford on Sunday could not have gone much worse.
The Toffees’ defence looked completely out of sorts, conceding more goals (four) than in any other game this season.
Meanwhile, Everton’s attack also looked toothless for the most part despite scoring twice in the second half.
David Moyes now has some tough decisions to make ahead of his team’s next game against Wolves on Wednesday.
Here is the starting eleven that he should select, including three significant changes.

Three changes to Everton’s starting line-up
Everton cannot afford to put in a similar performance against Wolves to the one they produced on Sunday.
Even though Wolves are at the bottom of the Premier League table, they will be feeling confident after beating West Ham 3-0.
Therefore, Moyes should make three changes to his starting line-up to ensure that Everton are up for the challenge.
Adam Aznou for Vitaliy Mykolenko
First of all, Vitaliy Mykolenko deserves to be dropped for his terrible performance against Brentford.
Mykolenko gave the ball away 18 times and consistently struggled to deliver a good cross into the box.
Everton do not have another experienced left-back in their squad, but Adam Aznou is an interesting backup option.
The 18-year-old, who signed from Bayern Munich last summer, is an exciting prospect who deserves a chance to impress.
What would YOU do with Adam Aznou in the summer? 🤷♂️
Harrison Armstrong for Tim Iroegbunam
Tim Iroegbunam is another player who should not start Everton’s match against Wolves on Wednesday.
The midfielder has impressed at times this season, but he did not have his A-game in Sunday’s game.
He was replaced by Harrison Armstrong in the 77th minute, a change that Moyes could now look to make to his starting eleven.
Armstrong was excellent on loan at Preston in the first half of the Championship season and has earned an opportunity to start for Everton.
Iroegbunam had a dismal game against Brentford…😠

Beto for Tyler Dibling
Finally, Moyes must take some positives from Everton’s disappointing defeat to Brentford.
He played Thierno Barry and Beto up front together in the second half, and they both scored.
Given how much they have struggled to find the back of the net this season, it is certainly an experiment worth trying again.
However, Barry has proven ineffective on the right, so Moyes should consider a 4-4-2 system, with Tyler Dibling left out and Dwight McNeil on the wing.
