What Everton cannot afford to see again in the Goodison Park press room after Bournemouth
Four managers have sat in the Goodison Park media room with smiles on their faces after securing wins this season. Everton boss Sean Dyche is not one of them.
It has been a troubling start to the campaign for Everton, the home form of particular concern. Four defeats from four at Goodison have undermined hopes of progress, particularly with three of them against teams still in the bottom half of the table despite the three points obtained in L4.
The issue is not new. The Blues lost 10 games in front of their own fans last season - several against relegation rivals, two of which were against Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have also been among the celebrating victors in the early stages of this campaign. Wolves’ Boxing Day win was against then-manager Frank Lampard, with the defeat following the Bonfire Night loss to Leicester City that allowed Brendan Rodgers to sit in front of the cameras and wax lyrical about his side and how James Maddison had shown more evidence of why he should be selected for England for the World Cup that was looming at the time.
It is an issue that if it continues will only make this season more difficult - with the upcoming visit of Bournemouth on Saturday a valuable opportunity to stop the rot. Ahead of the match with the winless Cherries, a look back at the comments of the managers who have already enjoyed success at Everton this season revealed some worrying themes.
