We asked for your views on the one thing – good or bad – related to Everton that nobody else is talking about but really should be.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Steve: What are the training staff doing each day to make the team so vulnerable to injury? Sean Dyche keeps alluding to their lack of fitness for Premier League demands, but are we hearing the same reasons from all of the other clubs at the bottom of the table?

Peter: Injuries and recovery rates have been hitting us hard for the past three or four seasons now. Previously it was Dominic Calvert-Lewin and now it is Jarrad Branthwaite. They are two key players, without whom the team is seriously weaker. Are our medical team and sports science people doing a good job?

Zak: There are two things worth mentioning here. Firstly the new signings, especially Ndiaye and Iroegbunam, have made all the difference. Secondly Dyche’s reliance on his old players, who he has coached before, is to the team’s detriment. Michael Keane and Ashley Young are the worst offenders.

Sue: Sorry but I don’t think we need Ashley Young. I don’t know if it is his confidence or his age, but he’s more of a liability than a help in this team.

Graham: The lack of leadership. Neither the owner or the board are making decisions. The manager is too stubborn to change and he needs to go, but there is no one there to make the change. Also, the players are not taking ownership on the pitch.

Dan: I believe what Everton are lacking at present, among many other things, is a leader on the pitch. You can train all you like and have the best plans in place, but who is rallying the troops on the field? Their heads seem to drop very quickly and there are too many abject figures meandering at times. The place has lost a behind-the-scenes bounce.
