Everton’s start to the season went from bad to worse at the weekend as Sean Dyche’s side were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.

That heavy defeat came after the Toffees were beaten 3-0 at Goodison Park by Brighton in their opening league game.

Everton were severely hampered in north London, with Dyche only able to call upon 14 fit senior outfield players, yet this didn’t mitigate the anger among their fans.

Things escalated even further on Saturday evening as a video on social media showed several angry Everton supporters confronting their players at Euston station on their way back to Merseyside, with striker Neal Maupay later hitting back on social media.

And, in the latest episode of It’s All Kicking Off! Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton discussed the shocking scenes and questioned whether those supporters had crossed the line of what is acceptable.
