The early season international break will have offered Dyche a chance to ponder the dismal collapse in their 3-2 home defeat to Bournemouth last time out. Having led 2-0 through goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton somehow conceded three times from the 87th minute onwards in a humiliating defeat at Goodison Park; it was the latest a team has been two goals ahead in a Premier League match they’ve gone on to lose.

That also left Everton, along with Southampton, as one of only two teams to have lost their first three Premier League games of the 2024-25 season. Only in 1926-27 (5) and 1958-59 (6) have the Toffees ever had a longer losing run from the beginning of a league campaign.

This is not a new issue, though, as including last season, Everton have lost each of their last four top-flight games. A dreadful October 2005 under David Moyes was the last time they lost five in a row in the competition (run of 6).

赛季初的国际比赛日将给戴奇提供一个机会，让他们反思上一次主场3-2输给伯恩茅斯的惨败。凭借迈克尔·基恩和多米尼克·卡尔弗特-卢因的进球，埃弗顿以2-0领先，但从第87分钟开始，埃弗顿不知怎么连丢三球，在古迪逊公园球场耻辱地落败。这是最近一支在英超联赛中领先两球却输掉比赛的球队。

这也使得埃弗顿和南安普顿成为2024-25赛季英超联赛中仅有的两支输掉前三场比赛的球队之一。只有在1926-27赛季(5场)和1958-59赛季(6场)，太妃糖队在联赛开始前有过比这更长的输球纪录。

这并不是一个新问题，因为包括上赛季在内，埃弗顿最近四场顶级联赛都输掉了比赛。在大卫莫耶斯的带领下，2005年10月是他们最后一次在比赛中连输5场(连续6场)。
