Premier League 2017/18 - 5 talking points from gameweek 7

#4. Everton sink to worrying lows

Everton spent close to £150m in the summer

Everton Football Club were a dynamite in the transfer window this season. They sold and bought players throughout the two months and made a statement with the kind of signings that they made in the time period.

It seemed as though the bridesmaid will finally be the bride this time around, and Everton would accomplish something substantial in this season. However, in spite of the huge flurry at the transfer market, they have sunk to the 16th position at the table right now. Far from being the bride, it seems like the club hasn’t even been invited to the wedding.

They succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against an inspired Burnley attack at home on Sunday. The team looked hollow, their spirit looked shaken and their drive was insipid.

Ronald Koeman is now under herculean amounts of pressure. If he does not come up with the goods at the end of the international break, there is a real chance of the man losing his job.
