After a 2-1 defeat to Burnley on the weekend, Everton are now without a win in five games. The Blues started the season in great form, winning four and drawing one of their first five matches.
Everton’s form has dipped recently, the Blues should have won against Burnley, the defeat is evidence that Ronald Koeman has still got a lot of work to do. The Blues last victory came on September 17th against Middlesbrough at Goodison Park.

The Blues will face West Ham on Sunday in what will be a must-win game for the toffees. As published by the Liverpool Echo, Gareth Barry has spoken out saying that Everton have to win against West Ham.
“West Ham at home next weekend is a big game. We need to get back to winning ways – the quicker the better,” says Barry.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman
Despite an instant improvement with the Blues defence this season, Everton’s main problem has come from players under-performing. Ross Barkley, Gerard Deulofeu and Kevin Mirallas have been poor all season. All three have failed to live up to their potential and make an impact to the Blues team.

Ronald Koeman will be under pressure to secure a victory against West Ham on Saturday. Players have to perform in order for their target of a top six finish to become a reality. The Blues have to beat teams below them in order to be seen as real European contenders.
