With four defeats in a row, 12 goals conceded and zero scored, it is safe to say Everton boss Ronald Koeman will have a few sleepless nights coming up.
The pressure is mounting on the Toffees boss as his project at Everton is on the verge of imploding with four points from their first five games of the season.
It is true that Everton were handed a tough start to the campaign with Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United all in the opening five games but their 3-0 hammering at the hands of Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday was an embarrassment and they followed that up with another inept display in the 4-0 defeat at Manchester United on Sunday.
It is too early to pull a “Crystal Palace panic™” but the pressure is mounting on Everton’s Dutch coach as they have four games on the spin at Goodison Park to turn things around.
Koeman is not a shrinking violent and is not backwards in coming forward. His dream of one day managing Barcelona likely hinges on Everton at least challenging for the top four each season.
Although he admitted the display was better at United on Sunday compared to a hammering at Atalanta, he appeared to pin the blame on his players after previously saying he has to look at himself.
“It’s really difficult, as a manager you try to help and support them – but when the whistle starts it’s all about them. We started too afraid,” Koeman explained. “We have four home games in different competitions and we need to win, otherwise we’ll have problems.”
The pressure is already showing as Koeman also hit out at Jose Mourinho’s programme notes on Sunday where he stated Everton should aim “at least” for a top four finish.
“Is there anybody who sees this as realistic for Everton? Please, come on. Fans, press – we need time,” Koeman said.
Not what Everton’s fans wanted to hear, plus Koeman was asked what was achievable this season: “The same as last season” was his answer.
Koeman has spent close to $200 million on new players this summer but ignored the glaring issue starring at him in the face: replacing Romelu Lukaku and his 25 goals after he left for $96.5 million.
After failing to take a glorious chance in the first half, Lukaku scored the third and celebrated in front of the Everton fans as he cupped his ear to beckon their abuse. Everton’s fans will have given him what he wanted but their insults will feel hollow in the absence of any kind of real replacement for the Belgian striker.
Lukaku also set up Henrikh Mkhitaryan‘s second goal and his overall presence is badly missed at the Toffees as they resemble a rudderless ship.
After piling all his hopes on attacking midfielders Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Davy Klaassen delivering the goals, they have two between them, via Rooney, in the opening five games of the season with their new striker Sandro Ramirez seeming out of his depth and not much expected from Croatian youngster Nikola Vlasic.
Youngster Dominic Calvert-Lewin seems like their best hope but what he adds in pace he lacks in hold-up play and nous around the box. Everton have no goalscorer to lead their line and it seems to be impacting their entire team.
Everton’s issues aren’t just in attack as their defense has looked tired with Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams and Leighton Baines all the wrong side of 30. Koeman’s inability to have a real playing identity despite being in charge of the Toffees for over 15 months is also worrying.
Last season they flirted with a top four finish but Lukaku’s goals against weaker opponents papered over the cracks.
Coming up they have Bournemouth, Burnley and Brighton in the Premier League and if they take all nine points in those games the poor start against esteemed opponents will be written off. If they fail to win at least two of the next three games then the pressure will be well and truly on Koeman.
How they respond to these horrendous displays, and defeats, to start to the season will define Koeman’s reign.

To top all this off, Everton’s new sleeve sponsorship deal was announced on Sunday and it somewhat sums up the current mood at Goodison.
Everyone from Koeman, to the fans and the players are quite angry. See what I did there…
The fact that Everton’s fierce Merseyside rivals are famous for their “Liver Bird” badge, well, that’s just an ironic double whammy which kicks Everton while they’re down.
Man United’s late dominance continues with the Red Devils now scoring nine of their 16 PL goals this season in the 80th minute or later in games. Leading Everton 1-0, they scored three times late on Sunday to set up another 4-0 demolition
Crystal Palace have set a new all-time top-flight record as they lost 1-0 against Southampton. The Eagles, who now have Roy Hodgson in charge after firing Frank De Boer after four games, have lost all five PL games to open the season and haven’t scored a goal. It’s official. Worst. Start. Ever.
After his treble at Watford, Man City’s Sergio Aguero has now scored six hat tricks in the Premier League (10 for Man City in all competitions) and only Alan Shearer (10), Robbie Fowler (9), Thierry Henry and Michael Owen (8) have scored more.
OFFSIDE CALLS OPEN UP VAR DEBATE
A number of Premier League goals were either scored or denied by tight offside calls this weekend.
And that, once again, throws up the question of whether or not Video Assistant Referees (VARs) should be introduced in the Premier League.
I know, I know “why the heck are you opening up this debate again?” is probably your response, but it is a debate worth having as other leagues around Europe continue to use VAR for key decisions.
This weekend AC Milan’s Nikola Kalinic was denied a hat trick when his third goal was reviewed by VAR and disallowed in less than a minute. Yet the ugly side of VAR reared its head in Borussia Dortmund’s win against FC Cologne too. The fact that the PL appears to be sitting back and analyzing all of the issues elsewhere surrounding VAR is a good thing.
With the Confederations Cup VAR debacle fresh in our mind, it is easy to forgot its positive impacts and the truth is an offside call leading to a goal being awarded or chalked off can be decided in less than a minute.
Being offside is the most cut and dry rule in the game but remains one of the most complex.
Manchester City should have had two goals chalked off against Watford, both at critical moments, but they didn’t. Watford fans were incessant, despite a 6-0 mauling at the hands of City, that the rules were not enforced correctly.
Huddersfield Town also felt correctly aggrieved as Elias Kachunga‘s goal, which could have been the winner against Leicester City, was disallowed incorrectly for offside. With a quick video replay it would’ve been correctly allowed and Huddersfield’s German-American boss David Wagner was less than pleased with the decision.
“This was obvious and should not happen and was not difficult to see. I am disappointed because I think we deserved the second goal,” Wagner said. “We have to accept that we only have one point but we were able to get more. We accept the point even if it doesn’t feel good because we scored the second goal which unfortunately didn’t count.”
Skhodran Mustafi’s header was correctly disallowed for offside for Arsenal at Chelsea, with the German international probably still celebrating somewhere after an unfortunate incident saw an Arsenal fan join him on the pitch to celebrate what they thought was a winner late on.
Joking aside it seems like a good time for the VAR debate to be reopened, especially with offside calls much easier to clean up than penalty decisions or red card incidents.
Probably shouldn't say it but I really enjoyed this moment today. Shame for the Arsenal fan, just getting caught up in the moment. pic.twitter.com/Pb41sN9tTJ
With Stoke City mainstay Geoff Cameron out injured this weekend, it was down to DeAndre Yedlin and Danny Williams to step up and represent the U.S. national team in style.
The duo did that in style as they both made their first starts of the Premier League season with Yedlin playing the full 90 in Newcastle’s 2-1 win against Stoke and Williams twice going close from midfield as he played the entirety of Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Yedlin is a certainty to be called up by Bruce Arena for next months two key 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Panama and Trinidad and Tobago but Williams’ fate appears less clear.
Williams, 28, hasn’t been called up to the U.S. national team since May 2016 but given his impressive displays for Reading as they reached the Championship playoff final last season but lost to Huddersfield at Wembley, then his move to the Terriers where he has impressed David Wagner, surely Williams will be battling for one of the central midfield spots in the next roster.
With Michael Bradley a mainstay, the likes of Kellyn Acosta, Dax McCarty and Alejandro Bedoya are the other central midfield options but Williams provides the power, pace and energy that the U.S. missed in their qualifiers last month. For as many critics as Jermaine Jones has, his ability to get around the pitch offers some value to the USMNT midfield and Williams can provide a refined version of Jones’ industrious displays.

Who’s looking like title contenders and/or favorites?
As we head into the final months of the 2022-23 season, Arsenal and Manchester City are looking head and shoulders above the rest and although Manchester United briefly surged into the picture, they look more likely to cement their spot as the third best team in the Premier League.
The Gunners will have their hands full for the duration of their title challenge, as Erling Haaland continues to take the Premier League by storm with an almost impossible goal-scoring record.
What about the top four and European places?
Uneven Tottenham are hanging in the top four battle and for the moment have hunted down Newcastle, while Liverpool is back in the Champions League picture after their return to form and Chelsea looks like a top six finish is their ceiling. For now.
Surprising Fulham, Brentford, and Brighton are all hanging around on the periphery with fine campaigns. Can one of them surprise and qualify for Europe?
Who are the candidates for relegation?
Southampton, West Ham, and Leicester City currently occupy the relegation places but that keeps changing all the time and it is so tight at the bottom of the table.
Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Wolves, Leeds, and Everton all find themselves within a few points of the bottom three as the race to stay in the Premier League intensifies. This could be the craziest relegation scrap in Premier League history.
Below you will find the latest Premier League table.
The Etihad was stunned after Mohamed Salah scored a fine goal to put a vibrant Liverpool side ahead but Julian Alvarez, starting in place of the injured Erling Haaland, equalized in the first half.
Quick-fire second half goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan did the damage and Jack Grealish scored a fourth to send the home fans (who did the Poznan) wild as Pep Guardiola was delighted with the way his team surged away from Jurgen Klopp’s dejected Liverpool.
In the end this was a routine win for City as they’re now on 64 points, still eight points behind Arsenal who beat Leeds later on Saturday but Guardiola’s boys do have a game in-hand and Arsenal to play on April 26. Liverpool remain on 42 points and have lost ground in the top four race after back-to-back away defeats in the Premier League.
With their star striker out with a groin injury, City turned to Alvarez to fill the significant void. Turns out having a World Cup winning striker as a back-up option is pretty decent. La Arana scored the first, consistently made good runs and Liverpool just couldn’t cope with the movement of Alvarez, Mahrez, Grealish, Gundogan and De Bruyne (all of whom had at least a goal or an assist) in attack. It was a different feel to City’s attack and reminded you that even if goal-machine Haaland is out, they have a Plan B and it works pretty well. That plan won them the title last season and this display gives ammunition to those who say Haaland makes City a little too predictable to play against. They were anything but that against Liverpool as Guardiola was delighted with the movement, pressure and intensity of his forward quartet. Haaland was seen celebrating Alvarez’s goal jubilantly in the stands alongside his father, former City midfielder Alf-Inge, and this display showed there’s no need to rush Erling back and they can get him fully-fit for the Champions League quarterfinal showdown against Bayern Munich on April 11.
Jack Grealish reflects on stunning display
Pep Guardiola says that was one of City’s ‘best ever games’
Jurgen Klopp unimpressed with Liverpool’s performance
Stars of the show; Manchester City vs Liverpool player ratings
Mohamed Salah: Took his goal superbly and was always a threat. Had very little help around him.
Riyad Mahrez: Didn’t score but was superb in setting the tone. Almost unstoppable when he’s in this form.
Kevin de Bruyne: Got a goal and yet another assist as he drove City on.
Jack Grealish: Probably his best display in a City shirt. Set up one, scored another and could have had more.
Man City head to Southampton on Saturday, April 8. Liverpool head to Chelsea on Tuesday, April 4 before hosting Arsenal on April 9.

Manchester City vs Liverpool live analysis! – By Joe Prince-Wright at the Etihad Stadium
FULL TIME: Manchester City 4-1 Liverpool – Well, that was rather straightforward in the end, wasn’t it? City were sensational in the second half and Liverpool just couldn’t recover from that early goal after half time.
Alisson saves from Jack Grealish, as his volley is straight at the Liverpool goalkeeper. City are just messing around now. Liverpool in full damage limitation mode with their trip to Chelsea coming up in midweek.
The Manchester City fans at the Etihad are now doing the Poznan. Quite the party atmosphere here. #MCFC 4-1 #LFC#MCILIV
GOALLL! Manchester City 4-1 Liverpool. Jack Grealish slots home after a lovely pass from Kevin de Bruyne. Erling Haaland may struggle to get back into this Man City team…
Jack Grealish adds his name to the scoresheet and Manchester City are in full control!
— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) April 1, 2023
Liverpool having a bit of go here to see if they can make it interesting but City are keeping the ball extremely well.
SAVE! Jack Grealish looks to bend one into the far corner but Alisson tips it away. Great effort from Grealish, who has been really good today.
CLOSE! Gakpo’s shot deflects just wide. Liverpool aren’t giving up here.
GOALLL! Manchester City 3-1 Liverpool. That should be that. Julian Alvarez with so much time in the box. His shot is blocked and the rebound falls straight to Ilkay Gundogan who slots home.
Liverpool still have a threat as Gakpo just can’t beat the offside trap after a nice ball over the top. City ominously cranking through the gears.
GOALLL! Seconds after the second half starts Kevin de Bruyne puts Manchester City 2-1 up. Poor defensive mistakes from Liverpool and Mahrez crosses for KDB to poke home. Liverpool and Klopp can’t believe it.
HALF TIME: Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool – A hugely entertaining first half. Liverpool a real threat on the counter, while Man City have been a little clunky but are still carving out plenty of chances sans Haaland. Intriguing second half coming up.
Erling Haaland and Pep Guardiola were FIRED UP by this beautiful build-up play by Manchester City! 🤩
— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) April 1, 2023
Moments after being shown a yellow card, Rodri takes down Cody Gakpo cynically as he goes to start a counter. That should be another yellow card. Liverpool players and Jurgen Klopp incensed. And rightly so. Getting spicy out there as TAA catches Grealish unintentionally. Grealish is then taken out by Trent moments later.
GOALLLL! Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool. Julian Alvarez taps home. Great play from Mahrez and Gundogan to set up Grealish and he finds Alvarez to finish. The TV screens here at the Etihad show Erling Haaland going crazy up in the stands as he celebrates. Minutes later Mahrez almost finds Alvarez but his pass is just too heavy. It is all City now.
A bad giveaway from John Stones and Salah and Liverpool are away again, but Jack Grealish works so hard to get back and stops Salah in City’s penalty box. Great defending from Grealish.
OVER! A flurry of chances arrive for City as they can’t convert a cross and then Mahrez smashes over from inside the box. Great opportunity wasted.
GOALLLL! The goal stands. Mohamed Salah puts Liverpool 1-0 up at Manchester City. A wonderful ball over the top to Jota, who just stayed onside, and Salah finishes superbly. What a goal! I was right in the line with that in the press box here at the Etihad and thought that was offside. Akanji just kept Jota onside.
Mohamed Salah puts Liverpool ahead but it looked like Diogo Jota was offside when the initial ball came over the top. VAR check for offside now…
Now a counter attack as Salah and Elliott both have shots blocked. Lively start, this.
CLOSE! Riyad Mahrez whips a free kick inches wide of the far post. Most of the stadium through that was in. Great effort.
CHANCE! A few decent efforts from City now. Gundogan almost finishes at the back post, then Alisson saves a shot from the edge of the box. Liverpool opened up a few times with long balls over the top.
City look a little rattled early on. Liverpool pressing them high and it is working.
KICK OFF! We are underway here in Manchester. Salah has started up top with Gakpo underneath him. Very attacking lineup from Liverpool and they are pressing very high up the pitch. Extremely similar tactics to when they played against City in their 1-0 win at Anfield earlier this season.
🚨 Hello and welcome to the Etihad!

The atmosphere is bubbling up very nicely here. The warmups are done and the star attackers from both City and Liverpool were spanking in shots galore. The music is pumping over the PA system here. It is go time. This rivalry has delivered so much drama over the years, let’s see if there are even more twists and turns. I’m sure there will be…
Big, big, big (did I mention big!?) team news is that Erling Haaland is OUT for Manchester City. He has not recovered from his groin injury and Julian Alvarez starts up top. It will be intriguing to see how City cope without their main man who was absolutely on fire before the international break. The rest of the team news is as expected. Jota, Salah and Gakpo up top for Liverpool with Darwin Nunez fit enough for the bench.
Hello and welcome to Manchester for this huge game! It has been a glorious sunny morning here, but the clouds are bubbling up just as the action is about to on the pitch at the Etihad. Buckle up. Sparks always fly when these two meet.
Key storylines & in-form players to watch
The loss of Haaland is obviously a huge concern for City as he suffered a groin issue and did not play for Norway over the international break and returned to Manchester for treatment. Julian Alvarez comes in, which is a pretty good back-up option. Elsewhere, City are flying with Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gunodgan having a big role to play with Phil Foden out following his appendix issue. As always, Kevin de Bruyne is the main man and will relish this chance to cut Arsenal’s lead atop the table.
Liverpool just can’t find consistency right now. They have improved defensively but they are a real Jekyll and Hyde team. Jurgen Klopp isn’t a fan of that and showed his frustration after their defeat at Bournemouth, which was their last Premier League game and was way back on March 11. He’s had a few weeks to stew over that loss and it will be intriguing to see what plan he has come up with. For this game as earlier this season Liverpool beat Man City 1-0 at Anfield by playing a front four which pinned City in.
