### Everton's Dizzying Drop: Only One Victory in Four Matches, Placed 17th

Everton Football Club has experienced one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory as they struggled to maintain their status at the top of the Premier League. The club, which had been on a steady rise under manager Roberto Martinez, fell from grace after just four matches, securing only one victory and placing themselves in 17th place in the table.

The season began with optimism for Everton, who entered it as favorites due to Martinez's impressive coaching record and the arrival of several new players. However, early in the campaign, the team stumbled. A poor start saw them lose their first three games, culminating in a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in a crucial match that proved costly.

The subsequent losses continued, with Everton failing to secure any points against other top-tier teams. Their inability to find form was highlighted by a string of home defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur and a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea. These results left fans and pundits questioning the direction of the club under Martinez.

Martinez's departure in January did not bring much change to the team. Despite the absence of the former manager, Everton continued to struggle. They faced even more difficult fixtures later in the season, including matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, both of whom were still contenders for the title.

The drop into the relegation zone is particularly concerning given Everton's history. The club has historically struggled with maintaining consistency and often falls short of expectations. This season's performance serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the club, especially under Martinez.

As Everton continues to work towards improvement, fans and management will be looking for signs of progress. While there may be some hope for a turnaround, the current trajectory suggests that Everton will likely face another challenging season in the Premier League.
