Everton: Not the team we were expecting at the start of this season
Everton are far from the desired team they suppose to be approaching the five game mark in the league campaign. Boasting an army of newcomers for the Blues – they’re meant to be showing up to each match giving top clubs a better contest.
Koeman has probably been more than disappointed with the start he’s boys has accomplished in this early part. Last season this time, with a better striker showing stunning form, Everton were flying high.
Come this season with a veteran striker in Wayne Rooney, they’ve suffered defeat more than once over a space of four games. Is missing a striker like Lukaku key to the decline in results or, are they just few games shy of them coming together and attaining better outcomes?
How are they going to make things right after a dreadful start to a movement? A movement towards the top spots that was so heavily spoken about after the money spent and enrolments were completed.
Despite having a horrid line up in tough games, Everton should be beating these teams to prove they are fighting for a stronger finish than last season.
Koeman has his work cutout for him in these early stages. It’s hard to see what’s coming next for him in a difficult run of games.
In this one we compare the different types of starts the manager has made since joining. Along with seeing if the manager can make things right in his next three fixtures.
