    The sensible approach for Everton would be to let Sean get on with it, but sense and Everton are strange bedfellows at the moment, although they did have the sense to give Sean the job of keeping them up. Will they have the sense to give the re-building job to Sean, who knows ?

    The 5-1 pasting the Toffees handed out to the Seagulls at the AMEX should guarantee him his tenure until Christmas. If Everton are not in or around the EPL top ten by then he's toast.

    Just putting things into context about the state that Everton were in when Sean took over.
    In their last 11 games they had won only once and in their last 7 games had picked up just one point, scored 4 goals and conceded 16.
    As a team, they had to be very low on confidence and were next to bottom in the league with 15 points.
    In the 18 games played under SD they won 5, drew 6 and lost 7 scoring 19 and conceding 29 but gaining 21 points.

    This season in the Lampard era they averaged 46% possession but had only 198 shots, of which 69 were on target and they scored 15 goals.
    Their opposition averaged 54% possession and had 320 shots with 107 on target and scored 28 goals.

    In the SD era they averaged 38% possession and had 231 shots with 83 on target and scored 19 goals.
    THe opposition had 62% possession and had 256 shots with 86 on target and scored 29 goals.

    Fans criticise the fact that he gets the ball forward without playing pretty football, however, the results still rely on scoring goals and, in spite of lacking the use of a striker for much of his time, they scored enough goals to win games.

    The points per game since Sean took over would have given them 44 points over the full season, 5 more than they got last season when they had Richarlison and Antony Gordon available as well. Nothing short of remarkable what Sean has achieved there.

    He knows what he is doing does SD and most Burnley fans know he knows what he is doing. Pity Garlick would not back him.
