MOTD2 pundit Martin Keown says it was worrying to see exactly how bad Everton's basics were in the 4-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Everton are one of only three top-flight teams to have played two games this season and lost both of them - and the Toffees are the only team yet to score after playing twice
This is basically the same Everton side that struggled last year, so they are bound to struggle again - but we also know they are capable of playing like they did in that Brighton game, and now they need to show it.After a reasonable start against Villa, where I actually thought they did OK for the first 15 minutes, Everton began to give far too much space away in midfield.
I was really surprised to see the ball keep on coming into the Everton box so often and there was some very poor marking at times, which is really not what you expect from a team managed by Dyche. He is criticised by Everton fans because of his injury record but I think he is an excellent player who was immensely unlucky to get hurt.
Most of the time players get injuries that are not visible, but you could certainly see this one. He tried everything to play on, but he should not really have been allowed to stay on for as long as he did.
