Everton has no points – and no goals – three games into English Premier League season
Never again could Everton, a permanent fixture in England’s top soccer league since the 1950s, be dragged into the kind of end-of-season relegation scrap this storied club has found itself in far too many times for comfort over the past few years.
Late goals rescued a 2-1 victory but it was hardly the kind of performance to instill confidence in supporters ahead of what already looks to be a huge Premier League match on Saturday: Away to Sheffield United. There was a summer overhaul of the board – including the departure of CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale – and the hope of new investment, reportedly from New York-based MSP Sports Capital.
On the field, Everton has already lost at home to Fulham and Wolverhampton and been thrashed 4-0 at Aston Villa. Its 121st season in the top flight is looking like being similar to many others in recent years – painful for the supporters of this founder member of the English league in 1888.
