Premier League Clubs Who Kickstarted Their New Season With the Same Problems

Tough Start to the Premier League for the Merseyside Teams

It honestly could’ve been a lot worse for Everton going up against Chelsea on Saturday, and props to them for holding firm.

But their continued lack of creativity upfront and Dominic Calvert-Lewin once again being ruled out due to injury, will be the death of this current team, and possibly Frank Lampard’s job if the club continues to do nothing about bringing in a new striker or more.

However, the atmosphere at Goodison Park remained sensational, so if there’s one good thing to be carried over from last season, at least it’s that.

Everton’s neighbors, however, did not have as pleasant of an afternoon during their visit to Craven Cottage in London.

Liverpool could only muster a draw against newly-appointed Fulham, the final score being 2-2. All the energy and momentum the Reds could’ve carried from their 3-1 victory against Manchester City in the Community Shield was nowhere to be seen in this match, resorting back to looking just as lethargic as they did at the end of last season’s campaign.
