Everton's start to the season has been dismal, mirroring last year's performance with three league defeats and only one positive result in the EFL Cup. Manager Sean Dyche faces mounting pressure as fans express dissatisfaction with the team's repeated struggles, particularly following a historic late collapse against Bournemouth where they lost a 2-0 lead. Despite a busy transfer window, including the recent signings of Orel Mangala and Armando Broja, Dyche needs to integrate new players into a reliable starting XI to revive the team's fortunes. Additionally, retaining defender Jarrad Branthwaite amid interest from Manchester United was seen as a significant achievement for the club. The looming challenge for Dyche remains to address the team's chronic issues and restore confidence among supporters, who are weary of the club's historical underperformance.
