Sky Sports: Two New Everton Signings Helping Sean Dyche Secure His Position

In an article published on Wednesday, September 18, following Everton’s penalty shootout elimination by Southampton from the Carabao Cup, it was noted that Sean Dyche’s favorable standing at Goodison Park is partly due to the early opportunities given to his new signings.

Midfielder Iroegbunam, acquired from Aston Villa for around £9m, and striker Ndiaye, who joined from Marseille in a £15m deal, have both been given significant chances under Dyche.

Everton and Southampton find themselves in similar predicaments, both sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table without a point.

Despite this, Dyche retains support from many due to his past successes.

While Russell Martin guided Southampton back into the top flight, Dyche has successfully kept Everton in the Premier League on two occasions and is now looking to make progress by integrating new players.

The current struggles of Everton are not due to Iroegbunam and Ndiaye but rather the underperformance of more experienced players, coupled with a lack of squad depth.

At ages 21 and 24, respectively, Iroegbunam and Ndiaye could play crucial roles in this season’s fight for survival.

The prospect of relegation and playing in the Championship is a significant concern, especially with a new stadium on the horizon.

Everton’s next match, a vital trip to Leicester City on Saturday, is critical as Leicester are expected to be direct competitors for survival this season.

A fifth defeat would raise serious alarm bells.
