If Ronald Koeman wanted a succinct summary of the task facing him as Everton manager, a video tape of the last trip to Sunderland offers a damming and accurate 90-minute analysis.
It was a display representative of the disarray which defined the latter stages of Roberto Martinez's tenure, a game which saw a shaky goalkeeping performance behind a fragile defence and a toothless midfield. Two Sunderland goals in quick succession sparked another Everton collapse and the 3-0 defeat would be Martinez's final game in charge as the club hierarchy finally lost patience.
Whatever the result on Monday night, it is unlikely a Koeman team will succumb so easily.
