Three games into the 2024/25 Premier League campaign and there are already serious questions being asked at Everton.
It has been a dreadful start for Sean Dyche‘s side who are sitting rock bottom during the first international break of the season.
There is already pressure on Dyche at Everton following the opening three defeats in the league.
But there have been very few reasons for Everton fans to have any optimism for the season ahead on the back of the three performances so far.
Poor defending and a lack of threat in attack has left the Everton fans frustrated and that has, in turn, seen Dyche issue a blunt message out to the Everton fans.
However, coming out of the international break, there could be something the Everton boss could do to help save his job.
Everton have lacked a real goal threat all season
Coming into the new season, there was a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The former England striker is now in his final year of his deal with Everton and there was no shortage of interest over the summer.
Calvert-Lewin has only been able to find the back of the net once in his opening three games with a 0.4 xG per 90 minutes over those three games.

It has now even been suggested that Everton could be willing to sell Calvert-Lewin in January as it will be their last opportunity to recoup some funds for him.
With a lack of threat coming from the striker and his future seemingly elsewhere, perhaps it is time for Dyche to try something new.
Iliman Ndiaye has really impressed at Everton
After signing in the summer on the back of a disappointing display at Marseille, Iliman Ndiaye has been waiting for his first real opportunity in the Everton side.
Ndiaye started the game for the first time in an Everton shirt and was able to record around 83 minutes of action under his belt.
Although it was Calvert-Lewin who got on the scoresheet, Seamus Coleman admitted he was seriously impressed by Ndiaye.
Here is how Ndiaye got on at Goodison on the weekend…
- 83 minutes
- 43 touches
- 2 shots on target
- 6/13 ground duels won
- 1 interception
- 4 tackles
With the ‘magic‘ Ndiaye impressing during his first start for the Toffees in the league, it has shown that he surely has to retain his place after the international break.
With fans and his fellow teammates impressed by his showing against Bournemouth, perhaps unleashing Ndiaye could be the way Dyche may save his job.
