ECHO reporters have their say on Sean Dyche's future at Everton after the club slipped to an embarrassing defeat to Chelsea on Monday
Everton's season hit a new low on Monday evening when the Toffees were humiliated 6-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Everton have won just once in 15 league games, courtesy of a goalkeeping howler. They have just been beaten so comprehensively that reflection would typically follow whatever context that Chelsea performance sat within. And the problems on the pitch have been getting worse, not better.
Michael Ball wrote in his ECHO column on Wednesday that he fears the tide is turning against Sean Dyche with Evertonians and don’t I know it! All of those managers had considerably more money than Dyche to spend but despite inheriting a team who were joint bottom of the Premier League when he came in at the end of last January and – make no bones about it – plummeting headfirst towards the Championship under Frank Lampard, he kept them up last season and has somehow kept their heads above water this term on a relative shoestring budget with director of football Kevin Thelwell having to structure the payments on any incoming deals and...
The survival of Everton as we know and love them is at stake here. As someone who wants the best for the club, I take exception to what I see as the short-sighted notion that ripping up and starting again for the ninth time under the current regime is the way out of this mess as I believe that would be a desperate and damaging act.
Still, form in recent months cannot be ignored. This is a team in freefall. How can one win in 15 games be glossed over? Supporters are right to be terrified by that return. Just look at the team's last three goals after that training camp - Everton's attacking prowess has been limited to capitalising on goalkeeping mistakes and set pieces. With the ball at their feet, the team is devoid of a plan and lack any individual inspiration - the most 'exciting' moment for match-going fans is when Jordan Pickford ambles to the halfway line to leather a long ball into the box. When they fall behind, they don't find a way to win.
