Everton currently sit at 7th in the Premier League table. Although most fans expected more from the new manager, Ronald Koeman, it seems that position number seven is their reality. Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are the teams that are aiming for the title and it is hard to expect Everton can upset any of them.
Everton had a crisis in October and November and they won only one out of their ten Premier League matches. With three victories in their last five games it seems they are getting back on the right track, but there are several players who aren’t performing as expected this season. These are the top three disappointing Everton players so far:
1. Gerrard Deulofeu
Gerrard Deulofeu is the number one disappointment in Everton this year. In his first season in Everton, back in 2013/14 season, Deulofeu was fantastic. He scored three goals and had three assists as a 19 year old and he was one of the best dribblers in the league. Everton desperately wanted to keep him, but Barcelona had other plans for him. He practically lost the next season in Sevilla and when he returned in 2015/16 he wasn’t the same. Deulofeu has played only 11 matches for Everton this season and he has failed to score and record a single assist.
