Everton's performance during this season was well enough but didn't you know Everton's owners are not in a good situation and this team is not in a good situation. There is even a chance for Everton to get relegated in this season because of that. I think if they really care about Everton, they should find a new owner and chairman for this team before it gets too late.
If Everton could keep up with the others teams like they did against Fulham tonight in EFL Cup. They were one goal behind then managed to get the draw and goes to penalties up to 7 tries before the defeat. At least they tried their best.
Everton had been in difficulty in the last two seasons and continues with that rhythm this season until they invest cleverly to improve the team.
In the other matches of EFL Cup, Newcastle were leading the whole time by one goal until extra time Chelsea scored and penalties were in favour of Chelsea! A very bad ending for Newcastle in that competition. I expect them to invest in this winter transfer window to improve the squad and their results.
