#4 Lack of pace in the team

In their last game against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Everton were defending too deep and were trying to hit United on the counter. But on most occasions, they were unsuccessful owing to lack of pace and drive in the team.

Spending such a huge amount of money and not buying a single player who can run at defenders the way Lukaku and Barkley could, was a massive mistake. Though Barkley is still at the club, his heart is set elsewhere.

Rooney, at this stage of his career, would certainly benefit if a player blessed with pace plays alongside him in the team. The former Manchester United star is no longer a number nine as he has lost pace and his finishing prowess has diminished. He can, however, pick a pass and the presence of someone quick will help him contribute in a better manner.

Everton are surely missing the pace of the injured Yannick Bolasie but surely Koeman needs to have some sort of explanation as to why a genuine quick winger such as Ademola Lookman has not been played more often.
