Everton manager Sean Dyche is under pressure already at Goodison Park following the Toffees' defeat to Tottenham, according to Jason Cundy.

The Blues' winless run in the Premier League continued in North London on Saturday (24 August) as they were beaten 4-0 by Ange Postecoglou's side, who never had to get out of second gear.

While most pundits and supporters are backing Dyche to turn things around this season, both Cundy and talkSPORT pundit Jamie O'Hara agreed that he could be running the risk of the sack.

Speaking on talkSPORT on Saturday (24 August, 17:38) O'Hara said: "You can't really get away from the fact that they've been absolutely shocking in the opening two games.

"I've always been a fan of Sean Dyche. He knows how to get results, he keeps them in the league but it's not looking good. This team that I'm looking at is not a team that should be getting beaten 3-0, or 4-0."

Cundy agreed: "Every year, Everton find themselves in this situation. Is it the club? Is it the players? Is it the manager or a combination of all? Because you can sack Sean Dyche and after those two games, seven goals conceded and none scored, he's going to be under pressure.

"You're bottom of the table as we speak right now. I just wonder who comes in? Is there just something at that football club that's rotten?"

Will Everton sack Sean Dyche at Goodison Park after Tottenham defeat?

While there are much bigger issues at Goodison Park currently than the team's performances on the pitch as uncertainty remains at the top of the club, the first two games of the season have been dreadful.

Although the opening weekend defeat to Brighton was made more difficult when Ashley Young was sent off, the Toffees never really had a foothold in the game and were picked apart far too easily on home soil.

Saturday's loss to Spurs was even more damaging as the Blues were torn apart while the majority of their new signings watched on from the bench.

The likes of Jake O'Brien and Iliman Ndiaye must wonder what they've got themselves into.

Hopefully, Dyche does turn it around but if this winless run continues into the September international break, the powers at be at Goodison Park could well have a decision to make before it's too late.
