  1. Everton 3-0 Doncaster - the fans' verdictpublished at 09:36 28 August

    We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Carabao Cup game between Everton and Doncaster Rovers.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Mike: Yes they are a League Two side, and yes we are happy with a win. Take every success and celebrate it. And why not? There are enough banana skins in football. If you are having a pop at us don't bother. We do enough of it ourselves.

    Paul: A much-improved performance - especially second half. Players back from injury and the new signings look impressive, so hopefully moving forward we can get results. But we still definitely need a striker.

    Lee: A much-needed win. The performance was an improvement on Saturday but it had to be! All the new signings started and collectively made the difference. Young is now sadly a squad player and shouldn't start. Beto found his level? Never a Premier League player. Dyche needs to drop his ideas on players not being ready and play them. We need to buy a striker. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is gone!

    Andy: Give the team more time. HOpefully we can sneak a couple of loan deals to support because we are lacking a goal threat. Would Tottenham consider a Richarlison loan? Let's hope the ownership also sorts itself out - that's where the dark cloud is hanging and making all Blues more nervous than they should be!

    Anton: Overall, we've got to be pleased with the win. Decent performances from the new players and a clean sheet. The first half was obviously a bit laboured but quality, discipline and fitness showed through in second. Patience was a virtue. Interesting to see who makes the starting line-up for Saturday. Also, Young back and booked three minutes after coming on - liability!

    Steve: A good performance from the boys, but against lower opposition it was an expectation. Ndiaye made a strong case to start on Saturday, as did O'Brien. Still feel that Dyche's tactics are too predictable. We need him out and Moyes back in. We also need to offload Calvert-Lewin and Maupay quickly to fund a true goalscorer.

  2. 'Great to get the new signings out there at Goodison'published at 07:38 28 August

    Everton boss Sean Dyche, speaking to the BBC after the Carabao Cup win over League Two Doncaster Rovers: "It was great to get the new signings out there at Goodison and in front of the fans.

    "It is a winning start for them. Tim Iroegbunam has been here a bit longer and you can see that from the way he played.

    "He played the equivalence of two games last season - in terms of minutes - in the Premier League so he is still getting used to it. But I think he is doing a really good job. A tough day at the office can happen and he is still young in terms of experience, but we really like his ability to help the team."

    On Jarrad Branthwaite's fitness: "It has been a really frustrating time for him but he is making some progress. We will have to see how that goes."

  3. Gossip: Toffees receive late interest in Calvert-Lewinpublished at 06:58 28 August

  4. 'This squad needs a lift' - Stubbspublished at 15:46 27 August

    Former defender Alan Stubbs thinks Everton's form is concerning, but insists it is not time for the club and fans to panic.

    Talking to BBC Radio Merseyside's Giulia Bould, Stubbs said: "Am I concerned? Obviously, to lose in the manner we have done - it is a concern. But, is it panic stations? By far, no - not a chance.

    "I think this is a big week for Everton, not just on the field but off the field as well. Everyone knows we need additions to the squad, there is a lot of pressure on the recruitment and the manager to bring players in."

    Stubbs, who made 169 Premier League appearances for the club also put added importance on Saturday's game against Bournemouth: "I think it's a must win game.

    "On paper, in terms of Everton's first 10 games - I think we've got as good of a run as any team. After that, it gets tricky.

    "We need to pick up points. Fast."

    He re-iterated the need for the squad to be strengthened, saying: "I think this squad needs a lift, it needs to see some faces coming in through the door - they need help.

    "As we've seen, right now the squad is not strong enough to go toe-to-toe with some of these Premier League teams."

  5. Everton fan abuse 'not acceptable' - Stubbspublished at 14:47 27 August

    Alan Stubbs has condemned the verbal abuse Everton players got from fans at a train station, following their loss to Tottenham at the weekend.

    Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside's Giulia Bould, former Everton defender Stubbs said: "From an Everton fanbase, we all realise that it is not acceptable, to verbally abuse the players coming onto the platform.

    "Yes, I know there's frustration behind that, but what we've seen is not representative of Everton fans, it's not a reflection of how the fan base is - it's a very small minority.

    "Unfortunately, we've been tied to this incident as a group of fans and that's not right, the players shouldn't be subjected to that type of verbal abuse walking from their work place.

    "None of us that are associated with Everton condone that whatsoever."

  6. Maupay future in the balance after 'tough run'published at 14:20 27 August

    Everton face Doncaster in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday in what could be striker Neal Maupay's final match of a dismal few years on Merseyside.

    When asked by BBC Sport about the prospects of the Frenchman, 28, leaving Goodison Park, manager Sean Dyche said: "He's had a real tough run at Everton Football Club.

    "They know that, he knows that. We have to wait if something new comes for him or see if he stays here, then see what he can give us."

    Maupay was among the players filmed getting abused by a couple of supporters at London Euston train station following the 4-0 defeat at Tottenham.

  7. 'Dyche is the perfect man for the club through this turmoil'published at 08:14 27 August

    Former Everton winger Andros Townsend believes "there is no one better" than Sean Dyche to be at the helm of Everton as they continue to go through "turmoil" on and off the pitch.

    It has been a difficult start to the new Premier League campaign for the Toffees, but Dyche had a 'no panic' message for the fans following Saturday's heavy defeat to Tottenham.

    "It is like groundhog day," said Townsend on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "At the end of last season they seemed to have got it together, were on a bit of a roll and it seemed positive going into the summer. But they have had financial fair play issues this summer and they have had to sell players again.

    "Then there has been the poor start, so it is just the same cycle over and over again.

    "As a former Everton player, I know it will be tough for the fans but there is no one better to have in charge of that club in this moment than Sean Dyche. They are going through turmoil season after season and it looks like another season of survival is ahead for Everton.

    "Dyche was so calm when I played under him and that is because he has been through things like this for most of his career. And players fed off that confidence because if the manager is not worried then why should you be?

    "He is the perfect man for the club through this turmoil."

  8. Managers are always looking for 'the clinical edge in football' - Dychepublished at 17:35 26 August

    Sean DycheImage source, Getty Images

    Everton manager Sean Dyche says it is not "easy" turn strikers into clinical goalscorers.

    The Toffees' financial struggles off the pitch continue as their takeover remains up in the air and, before the match against Tottenham on Saturday, Dyche bemoaned the lack of options available to him.

    Those difficulties look to have translated on to the pitch at the beginning of the new season as they followed an opening day 3-0 defeat by Brighton with a 4-0 drubbing at Spurs.

    Once again they have lacked a clinical presence up front, an issue that was a feature of their last campaign and one they have not yet been able to resolve coming into this season.

    "If it was that easy [to develop strikers] we would all be developing them and making them brilliant," said Dyche before Everton's Carabao Cup second-round tie against Doncaster at Goodison Park on Tuesday.

    "So when people say, 'how are you going to make them more clinical?' then I will just say we're going to keep working and trying to find different ways - maybe the best kind of way they score goals - and give them the ammunition that gives them the best chance to score their best goals.

    "But generally speaking, it is always a tough assignment. The clinical edge in football is always the thing managers are looking for."

    When asked about potentially bringing a striker in before Friday's transfer deadline, the former Burnley boss responded: "And there are loads of them around? Everyone says why aren't we getting a striker - and I say go and find me one and we will get them in.

    "Especially one for not a lot of money. That is a task, trust me. I have been doing it for years."

  9. 'Dyche's comments have been somewhat mistimed and unhelpful'published at 15:07 26 August

    Everton fan's voice banner

    A week is a long time in football , just not long enough in the world of Everton.

    Whatever the reason – a stack of first team injuries, tactics or simply a lack of self-belief – Saturday’s showing at Tottenham has done little to lift the mood amongst the fan base.

    There was a sense of optimism prior to the season starting, which has been swiftly wiped out after two successive defeats and very little in the way of attacking threat.

    We’ve been here before. The score mirrors that of the second game of last season away at Aston Villa. It doesn’t make it any more acceptable or easy to swallow, but things can and will improve – hopefully.

    After years of relegation fears, mismanagement and financial austerity, Everton fans are on the edge. It feels as if we are only ever a couple of defeats away from a crisis.

    The manager’s comments since the start of the season have been somewhat mistimed and unhelpful. You wonder whether living in this recent version of the Everton bubble has got to him somewhat.

    The scenes at London Euston on Saturday evening between a couple of fans and the team is something that not only needs no repetition, but also shouldn’t serve as a reflection of the vast majority of Evertonians.

    This is a time for unity.

    We are only two games into a new season, with a great chance to put things right this week.

    Two home games against Doncaster and Bournemouth are the perfect opportunities to right the wrongs of Brighton and Tottenham.

    We’ve proven countless times we are stronger together. Now is the time for us, the manager and the players to prove it.

  10. 'No excuse' and fans need to 'show some faith'published at 13:11 26 August

    Your views banner

    After Neal Maupay hit back over footage that appeared to show Everton fans abusing players following their heavy defeat by Tottenham on Saturday, we asked you for your views.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Dave: Everton fans have had an incredibly rough few years and I can understand why a section of the fanbase are reacting to our horrible start to the season, but big picture - we ARE course-correcting, albeit slowly. The injuries and lack of cash have killed us so far but I am 100% certain we'll improve under Dyche and end up comfortably mid-table.

    Mark: There can be no excuse for swearing at and abusing your own team's players. How can you call yourself a fan and do that? Obviously Everton have made a poor start and the players and manager have to take responsibility for their performances on the pitch. There is no money to buy big but Dyche and the squad survived last season so show some faith.

    Ian: Abuse is never acceptable in any shape or form. Fans have to accept that players will have a bad day at the office. But get over it, it's only a game. I understand fans have an investment in the club and spend huge amounts following the team. But if you can't handle your emotions then stay away from the players after games.

    CS: It's disgusting and embarrassing for our club. However, it's a very small minority of fans and Maupay should be concentrating on his game rather than spending hours on social media criticising fans while taking tens of thousands each week.

    David: Discussing a player's ability is a time honoured part of being a supporter but crossing over into personal abuse is way out of order. A section of our support crossed this line long ago, abusing our players and managers. A lot has gone wrong at Everton over many years and the part played in that by some of our 'fans' toxic behaviour needs to stop.

  11. 'Next up against Bournemouth is must win' but 'it's not panic stations yet'published at 11:53 26 August

    Jordan Pickford of Everton looks dejectedImage source, Getty Images

    After losing their opening two Premier League games of the season by three goals or more for the first time, BBC Sport pundits have been having their say on Everton's poor start.

    Following the 4-0 defeat at Tottenham on Saturday, former Blues and Arsenal defender Martin Keown said on Final Score: "I'm concerned for Everton - seven goals conceded in two games.

    "They never really looked like scoring in this one [against Spurs]. Next game up is Bournemouth - it's a must-win game now.

    Former England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley added: "They just looked deflated. They looked dejected. But, from a Tottenham point of view, they capitalised on that."

    It was not all doom and gloom, however, as former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said he believes Sean Dyche is the manager best equipped to turn things around.

    "With only 14 outfield players to choose from, it's always going to be difficult," he told Match of the Day.

    "Losing [Jarrad] Branthwaite as well - their best centre half. But they've got a manager in Sean Dyche who can navigate the way through this.

    "It's not panic stations yet."

  12. Tottenham 4-0 Everton - the fans' verdictpublished at 11:23 26 August

    Your views banner

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Everton.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Spurs fans

    Robert: A good display against, it must be said, a poor Everton team. Four goals scored and a clean sheet. Son scored twice with his second coming after a sensational run from Micky van de Ven. Wilson Odobert got the fans excited on his debut and he looks a good buy. If I'm being picky, the only negative was Johnson because he has to get involved more. I'm not sure why but he seems to be lacking confidence.

    Leah: A good result for Tottenham. It is good to get their first win under their belt. Let's hope it carries on.

    Tristen: We won, but it wasn't unexpected. Everton are awful, they are certain for the drop and will be the whipping boys of the season. We must not get carried away. Great passing play and great movement. We need to upgrade on Johnson, he is a weak link. We must also have a plan B when we come up against tougher opposition, but this football will win us the Europa League.

    Andy: The scoreline flattered us a bit. I'm still not convinced by our attacking line-up every time Ange chooses it, even when everyone is fit. Please could someone tell me what the point of Johnson is? Yet again he had zero contribution - that takes some doing. I'm pleased for Bissouma though.

    Everton fans

    Alex: Relegation candidates. You cannot score at one end and then concede at the other. They sold their forward line of Richarlison and Gordon but there is no money to invest or buy. There are 14 fit players and they are only two games in. A truly sorry state of affairs.

    Richard: We had one player out there giving it 110% right up until the substitutes came on and that was Roman Dixon. It was an exceptional display from him. The substitutes gave us fight and creativity, so why does Dyche keep playing the same players who don't perform? He has to change his mindset or, after the Bournemouth game, just leave. I cannot see a win under this manager.

    Greg: We need to keep calm here and not go over the top. I've never been a great lover of Sean Dyche and his football philosophy, but where do we go if we sack him? Maybe he should swallow his pride and be a bit more positive. Sacking him will be the worst possible decision. There is a winnable game ahead of us next week, then a two-week break to get players back from injury.

    Simon: Sadly we have to work within the confines of what we can afford. It doesn't help when our players won't put pen to paper to try and leverage a move or more money for the club. Calvert-Lewin has always been a favourite of mine but, sadly, when the club needs him to perform, he just hasn't done. Perhaps he needs a change, along with some others.

  13. Abuse 'normalised' - Maupaypublished at 11:12 26 August

    Everton striker Neal Maupay has reacted to Blues players being shouted and sworn at as they travelled back north after Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Tottenham.

    A video being shared on social media shows a group of Everton fans verbally abusing players at a train station. The video also shows some supporters high-fiving players.

    "Imagine another job where it's normalised to get abuse like this," Maupay posted on X.

    "Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best..."

  14. What is going on at Everton?published at 10:38 26 August

    Have your say banner

    It's not been an ideal start to the season for Everton.

    Two defeats from two, bottom of the table, and now footage has emerged of what appears to be Toffees fans abusing the players as they board a train back from London after Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Tottenham.

    Striker Neal Maupay has hit back on X, claiming there is no other job where abuse is as normalised as it is in football.

    Everton fans, what do you make of this? Is fan frustration understandable or is this taking things too far?

    Everton have lost back-to-back Premier League games by three or more goals for the first time since September 2017, when they lost 3-0 at home v Tottenham and 4-0 at Man Utd.

    A ray of hope for Toffees fans though…they finished eighth that season!

  16. Tottenham 4-0 Everton: What Tarkowski saidpublished at 20:38 24 August

    Everton captain James Tarkowski has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat: "I could stand here and make excuses about injuries. There is more to it than that. We gifted them a couple of goals.

    "Jordan [Pickford] has been our player of the season for many years. Everyone makes mistakes - me more than most.

    "We want everyone fit. We had a good line-up out there today. We have got to perform on the pitch. We have to stop conceding goals and start scoring. We are trying to be hard to beat.

    "I have been here a couple of years now. We have been through many tests. This is another test. We need to get through it."

  17. Tottenham 4-0 Everton: What Dyche saidpublished at 19:53 24 August

    Everton boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the heavy defeat: "Two back-to-back tough games. We had two mistakes last week, one mistake this week.

    "Tottenham are a team of goalscorers, all over the pitch. We didn't have enough. We are stretched but that is no excuse. I expect a lot from these players, but there are a lot of challenges here.

    "We are working within the guidelines that we can. We expect more. We have been written off many times before and we will be written off again. We have come through it before."

    When asked if he was confident that no more players will be leaving before the transfer deadline, Dyche added: "It is shifting sands at this football club."
