Everton fans react to Djibril Sidibe’s performance against Sheffield Wednesday

Djibril Sidibe impressed as Everton beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the EFL Cup. Sidibe provided an assist and contributed towards a clean sheet to stake his claim for a Premier League start.

The France international, who joined from Monaco in the summer, is pushing Seamus Coleman all the way. Marco Silva has preferred the 30-year-old Irishman so far but this could change in the future.

With Everton’s league form a concern, Silva might make changes to his squad. Sidibe is one of several fringe players hoping to benefit from this. And he certainly did his chances no harm with his latest performance.

The 27-year-old floated a perfect cross into the path of Dominic Calvert-Lewin to fire in via the underside of the bar and make it 1-0. Calvert-Lewin grabbed his second, finishing off a move inspired by Alex Iwobi.

Everton fans flocked to social media to share how impressed they were with Sidibe’s display. It was just his second appearance for the Toffees – his first coming against Lincoln City in the last round.

Here are some tweets from Everton fans discussing the Sidibe-Coleman selection dilemma.
