Everton boss Brian Sorensen says it is “too early to say” whether his side are involved in a relegation fight despite their failure to win in the Women’s Super League so far this season.
The Toffees are bottom of the table after six games after being thrashed 5-0 by Chelsea and have scored just once this campaign, courtesy of an own goal.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “We are only a few games into the season. Let’s see where we are at Christmas and go from there.”
His side have been hard hit by injuries and Sorensen says they have struggled to cope with losing players.
“Yes it was [a case of same problems again]. Maybe the players that played out of position it was not their fault. In the first half we were not sticking to the movements that we talked about and the last two issues led to goals.
“Against Chelsea you have to have your game plan 100% right and that is of course on me, but it is also very tough when you have to make some last-minute changes. We have to do be sharper in every second against top teams like Chelsea.
“I was not impressed with the first half from us but in the second half we stepped up, we just ran out of energy in the end.
“We need to get players ready to play. It is really hard to compete when we are depleted as a squad and have very low numbers and play players in positions that they are not used to. We are working and doing everything we can to get players fit.”
