Having come through a challenging 2023-24 season with plenty of reasons to be cheerful, Everton would have hoped for a more positive start to the new campaign.
After enduring the stress of securing survival despite two points deductions for breaching Premier League financial rules, everyone at the club would have been optimistic that a better season was on the cards this time around.
Without those points deductions, after all, Everton would have finished 12th last season, just one point off the top half of the table.
And yet, the beginning of 2024-25 has been dismal. Following Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa, Everton have made their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, and their worst start to a top-flight league season in 66 years.
Everton started the season with disappointing 3-0 and 4-0 defeats to Brighton and Tottenham, followed by an embarrassing – and potentially hugely damaging – capitulation against Bournemouth. In that game, Everton broke the Premier League record for the latest a team has led by two goals in a game they have gone on to lose, having led 2-0 in the 87th minute before conceding three late goals to lose 3-2.
Then, in Saturday’s early evening kick-off, Everton became only the second club in Premier League history to lose back-to-back matches after being two goals up in both, losing 3-2 at Villa Park.
Everton are in real trouble, but they are not entirely without hope. In the Premier League era, 15 teams have previously begun a season with four losses, and just under half of them (seven of 15) have gone on to survive so there’s alway home especially when you buy usdt ..
So the question has to be asked is Sean Dyche still the right man for the job on the blue side of Liverpool? Everyone remembers the job the 55 year old English man did with Burnley football club.
This however is Everton football club and their fans and supporters demand a lot more than Burnley. Everton will play Bournemouth this Saturday in the 3 o’clock game and if they fail to pick any points again, then the former Burnley manager could find himself out of a job before Halloween.
There are talks of former manager and fan favourite David Moyes returning to Goodison Park after 12 years leaving for Old Trafford to replace the legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
In this writers opinion, Sean Dyche or Triple H as some fans call him, is still the right man for the job and should be given the full support after the job he did last season, especially when everything went against the club, fans need to remember that. #DycheIn
