The Away form has been catastrophic for well over a year. Shows how badly new defenders and a solid DM are required.
We haven't just lost games but been utterly hammered by sides too.
Pre season has shown that those issues away from home are not rectified yet.
We need players in asap.

Some of it is mentality too. Too often Everton players have gone out thinking a draw is a huge achievement away from home and that a win is a once in a blue moon lucky event. Even with average away form some of our seasons would have been so different but we’re normally ok at home butnhorrible away from it.

Wolves will be bouncing can see us getting destroyed. Unless (going against Silva's style) we sit back and try and pick them off but even doing that can we keep a clean sheet? Doubtful.

I dread any away game now. We simply don't perform with only wins against the likes of Huddersfield and an awful Stoke.
Any game against the Sky branded 'top 6' has been woeful too.

This needs addressing asap. With the right handful of additions to go with the 2 new arrivals this trend can be halted.
 
I doubt we'll see any changes from the players we have now even if we sign anyone new. We'll play very defensively, only have 30% possession and get beat 3-0 but maybe I'm being overly optimistic.

Pickford

Coleman Keane Holgate Jags Digne

Besic

Walcott Sigurdsson Richarlison

Tosun

Pickford
Coleman - Holgate - (New CB) - Digne
Gueye - (New CM)
Walcott - Sigurdsson - Richarlsion
Tosun

Ideally sign a first team CM and CB before Wolves, wouldn't hesitate starting Holgate at CB given the peformances of all of our CB's during pre-season
 
Gulp. Here we go again. Replace Holgate with Keane. Bite the bullet and say we may not get a CM and then choose Besic. I don't want to taken over by the doom merchants, but I have to admit Silva has his plate full with this squad. The bench is frighteningly poor apart from maybe Baines and Niasse.
