Everton’s new owners have a big decision on their hands following another disappointing result on the weekend.
Having lost their second consecutive game on Saturday, there was considerable scrutiny growing around the future of Sean Dyche.
The Friedkin Group could sack Dyche if the results worsen, but it is not just the results which may now be a concern with the performances also leaving a lot to be desired.
Everton remain slumped narrowly above the relegation zone following their 19 games played this season.

There had been some promising signs shown during December with some solid draws picked up, but Everton are showing their frailties once again.
Something needs to change at Everton, otherwise they could be risking playing Championship football in their brand new stadium next season.
Everton could wait until March to sack Sean Dyche
After the game on Saturday, Everton’s lack of attacking threat has been criticised as they failed to land a single shot on target.
And that is something which Dyche has been unable to resolve this season as his side have scored the second-fewest of any side in the league.
However, according to TeamTalk, The Friedkin Group could wait until mid-March before potentially sacking Dyche.
It is claimed the new owners are looking to assess the club over a 100-day period before jumping into any conclusions.
Everton want to hire a new CEO before sacking Dyche which could certainly curtail any immediate decision.
And adding to the expectation of the 53-year-old sticking around for a little longer, Dyche will hold his Everton press conference on Tuesday as normal ahead of the FA Cup clash.

Everton need to find goals from somewhere
Over the weekend, Dyche was hit with some further injury issues up top which will not have helped his cause.
Having seen Armando Broja return to the starting XI, the Albania international was withdrawn through injury on the weekend.
It is a similar situation for Youssef Chermiti who has endured an injury setback having made his return to the squad.
This has left Dyche with no other option but to play Dominic Calvert-Lewin who could leave Everton this month.
With Beto also looking set to leave Everton for Torino, the 53-year-old is in desperate need of finding goals from somewhere.
