DAVID MOYES HAS handed Jake O’Brien his full Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur today.
The Republic of Ireland international was a €20 million signing from Lyon during the summer but failed to make a breakthrough under former boss Sean Dyche.
Moyes replaced Dyche with the Toffees once again fighting relegation and the 23-year-old former Cork City centre back gets a chance to help the club out of trouble.

A home defeat to Aston Villa in midweek in Moyes’ first game in charge left Everton in 16th place, one point above the drop zone.
Spurs are only one place above them in the table but have a seven-point cushion going into today’s 2pm kick-off.
Excellent news. Probably going for a back 3 then which will suit him. Moyes clearly likes him.
@Rory O’Connor: Back 3 soon he playing right back he is like dan burn so big and we scored
@Raymond: wha??
@Michael Murray: back 3 soon he is playing right back he is like dan burn we just scored
@Raymond: well taken goal
@Michael Murray: say’s the guy who cant spell what
@Max: brillent
@Rory O’Connor: get in 2 nil
@Raymond: Great to see. Like a different team today. The Moysey effect is working. Tempo much higher and O’Brien doing well. Be fantastic if he gets a good run in the team now and would be a great bonus for the international side, as a result.
@Rory O’Connor: phew
Lucky the cork lad is playing spurs id say spurs be looking for a new manager soon
Great manager
