Unsworth failing his big audition

ON sunday, David Unsworth went to what he knew as Everton’s Under 23 manager. He put his faith in the young players. He picked Aaron Lennon, who had been working with him outside the senior team, he dropped some of the most expensive summer signings. It made no difference. Everton lost. the few matches a caretaker manager has are his audition. Craig shakespeare’s appointment at Leicester was irresistible after a winning run, so too Roberto Di Matteo at Chelsea once he had made them champions of Europe. this season, Richie Wellens earned the Oldham job with the results the team got following the departure of John sheridan. Everton have played two, lost two, under Unsworth (left). He needs a point at Lyon and three against Watford in his two matches before the international break, or the dream is over, if it is not already.
