Everton have been on a skid in recent weeks and that continued on Sunday afternoon when they fell to a 4-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Sean Dyche’s men were dominated at Old Trafford and barely created anything in attack, with Beto not really given any service.
Vitaly Mykolenko put in a pitiful display for Everton and lost the ball a whopping seven times, so his place in the side will be under question ahead of the midweek clash against Wolves.
Dwight McNeil was seen laughing at 4-0 down with Man United goalscorer Rashford towards the end of the game – which really angered supporters.
Dyche also came in for major criticism as fans once again urged the club to sack him ahead of a dreadful run of fixtures.
During the clash, Joe Hart revealed a home truth about Dyche which will certainly raise alarm bells at Everton.

Joe Hart shares worrying home truth about Sean Dyche
For the fourth game in a row, Everton failed to find the back of the net and their lack of potency in attack is largely down to Dyche’s pragmaticism.
MORE EVERTON STORIES
Whilst they aren’t littered with quality in that department, the Toffees certainly have enough to be scoring much more frequently than they currently are.
Iliman Ndiaye has really impressed Everton fans whilst Jesper Lindstrom and Dwight McNeil certainly have the ability to create and score goals.
But Dyche just seems to apply the handbrake in most games and Joe Hart, who played under him at Burnley, has just revealed something really alarming.
“I’ve played for Dyche and trust me all he will care about today is getting a clean sheet, that’s it,” Hart said, on beIN Sports.
That must come as a real worry to supporters.
Dyche on borrowed time
Dyche has undoubtedly done a good job at Everton but it seems he’s run his race at Goodison Park as most of the fans have lost patience.
It very much feels like he’s on borrowed time and once the Friedkin Group are installed as the new owners, he may well be replaced.
Maurizio Sarri has been linked to Goodison Park whilst Sergio Conceicao, Graham Potter and Edin Terzic are all believed to be potential candidates.
Wednesday’s game against Wolves is certainly a must-win for Dyche.
