Everton suffered a bruising 4-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Everton were completely dominated from start to finish by Ruben Amorim’s side and remain narrowly above the relegation zone.

Vitaly Mykolenko was really poor and remarkably had fewer touches of the ball than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford – which tells the story of the game.
Centre-back pairing James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite endured a tough afternoon, too, with the latter failing in what could’ve been a trial shift for his future suitors.
The fixtures don’t get any easier now either, as Everton prepare to take on four of the big six in their next five games before Christmas.
After the United debacle, fans had just one thing to say about manager Sean Dyche.
Everton fans want Sean Dyche gone
Dyche has been on thin ice for a while with Everton fans but Sunday’s defeat seemed like the last straw for many.
They took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to make their opinions known about the former Burnley boss.
“Dyche gets far too much credit for the years he has been here, said it numerous times! We need to go out and get a manager who has an identity of his own style and get it implemented for me it has to be a young pragmatic manager, Dyche has to go sooner rather than later,” @SavEliiz2014 said.
“Don’t care what anyone says. Lampard, Benitez, Martinez and even Koeman were nowhere near as bad as Dyche… he is the worst manager we’ve had since Moyes left,” @Cal_Willow96 posted.
@Mikeyconnor94 said: “A lot of players are not good enough of course you can only do as well as your players. But Dyche has to be able to get more of these players. It’s dinosaur tactics.”
@NeilSolan added: “Dyche is done as soon as the takeover goes through and he knows it. Worse is that the players know it too and they’ve checked out on another manager. Once they cross that line they have to take some responsibility. They’re a disgrace to the shirt.”
“I finally realised that Sean Dyche’s expiry date as #EFC Manager has been passed,” @DupontKoo said.
“Got to be it surely he has to go this is awful. If a Sean Dyche team can’t defend the wants the point of him,” @TOFF79 commented.

Everton could look to bring in Maurizio Sarri
Everton are expected to undergo a lot of change over the next few weeks as the Friedkin Group are set to take over the club from Farhad Moshiri.
The change in ownership is sure to put major pressure on Dyche and it’s thought there’s already a list of candidates to replace the 53-year-old.
Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is being considered by Everton and he is open to a return to the Premier League.
It’s thought Sarri wants to have a new club by Janaury, so it seems all roads lead to the Italian as it stands.
