Everton are quite lucky to survive relegation last season, I think it will be interesting to see if Everton will continue to struggle in the relegation zone in this upcoming new season with Frank Lampard in charge right at the start of the season.
Too early predicted Everton would remain in the Relegation Zone. They are quite active in the transfer market this season. They just bought Dwight McNeil from Burnley. He is a wing forward only 22 years old. Everton's long-term project. Then they also bought Ruben Vinagre from the Portuguese League club Sporting Lisbon. Indeed Frank Lampard is the new coach, he has not had much experience. I think the arrival of new players has made everton play better.
This will only have a slight effect in my opinion because indeed they have also lost a lot of exhausted players like Jonjoe Kenny. Cenk Tosun and Fabian Delph on the other hand they also lost Richarlison which makes this indeed one of the things that must be confusing for Lampard.
The arrival of Dwight McNeil is still not enough to replace some of the vacancies there and indeed it may still be too early, but when you look at their performance last season and the loss of players who are indeed quite significant I think if they don't work hard then the relegation zone awaits.
