Everton linked with David Moyes as pressure mounts on Sean Dyche

As Everton’s terrible start to the season continues, pressure rises on manager Sean Dyche and former coach David Moyes has been suggested as his replacement.

After four straight defeats in the Premier League the Toffees lie bottom of the standings early on in the season, despite appearing competitive.

In fact, Dyche’s team had led 2-0 in their past two league games but lost both 3-2.

Their sole win of the season came in the Carabao Cup against Doncaster Rovers, but their run in the tournament came to an end on Tuesday night with a penalty shootout loss to Southampton.

Dyche is now favourite with the bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, a shorter price than Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and Saints boss Russell Martin.

Moyes is a contender to replace Dyche if he does leave, having been in charge of the Toffees from 2002-13 before leaving to take over at Manchester United.

The Scot is now out of work after leaving West Ham at the end of last season, but former Hammers midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker reckons he could be the man for the job at Goodison Park.

‘I’m not putting words out there. I’m not putting it out there, but there is a certain David Moyes, who knows that club very well, inside out, who currently isn’t managing anyone,’ Reo Coker told the BBC’s Premier League Review.

‘And the pressure is different now on Sean Dyche, where Everton might look to change manager and bring someone else in for new ideas or a fresh start. But it’s very worrying.’

Sky Sports report that Everton are sticking with Dyche after the Carabao Cup exit, but things can always change very quickly, with a trip to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday next, followed by a home game against Crystal Palace a week later.

There were loud boos at Goodison Park on Tuesday, especially when Dyche replaced striker Beto with full-back Ashley Young with the score at 1-1.

‘The crowds have opinions about varying players and that is one of them things. He is certainly a tough customer mentally,’ said Dyche.

‘I totally understand it, Young is old and wise enough to know this is the way the industry is. He is a fantastic professional but the fans have a right to say what they want to say and I am never going to question that.

‘Inevitably we wanted to win the game and we haven’t done. After piecing together a team this morning, with three players going down ill overnight, I think we have given as good as we can get.

‘We have got 12 outfield players currently fit.’
