AliousEverton’s 3-0 loss to Brighton last Saturday was likely a major disappointment for the team.
They had an opportunity to start the season well and showed early promise.
However, their longstanding lack of attacking prowess proved crucial once again, as Brighton demonstrated exactly what Everton was missing to take the lead.
The aftermath has been intense, with a prominent pundit’s comments further fueling the controversy.
Richard Keys, writing on his blog following a disagreement with Andy Gray about Everton’s defeat, offered a harsh critique of the team’s performance.
Keys’ criticism seems justified, given the 3-0 opening day loss, despite a energetic first half.
He pointed out several issues facing Everton, including a lack of goal-scoring ability, energy, and youth in the squad.
Keys expressed particular concern about Ashley Young playing as a full-back at 39 years old, describing his red card as “an accident waiting to happen.
“Keys voiced serious worries about Everton’s future, both on and off the field.
While young talent like Dixon shows promise for Everton’s future, developing players takes time.
At this early stage of the season, it seems unlikely that a manager like Dyche would take such a risk.
