Everton fans stand by a mosaic of heamus Coleman and other club legends at Hill Dickinson Stadium

We asked for your views on what one thing needs to change at Everton before the new campaign and why.

Here are some of your comments:

Mike: New manager, new ideas, positive approach. A coach who learns from mistakes, uses and develops players and understands the need to inspire fans. A coach who can pick players in the correct positions. Everton need to play front-foot football with players allowed to express themselves. Young players need to be given game time and we need to stop cramming extra centre-backs and central midfielders into the team. Build the team on Pickford, Branthwaite and O'Brien at the back and Garner, Dewsbury-Hall and N'Diaye as the 6/8/10.

Steve: David Moyes. We need a manager who is more tactical, more flexible and more inspirational. The team must play with more verve, speed, and ingenuity. The defence needs to stop making disastrous mistakes.

Stephen: We need a manager who can attract talent, put his faith in the players at his disposal and tailor his tactical approach in order to win games. Unfortunately, although he'll always be an Everton legend, Moyes isn't that person. Time to make a change.

David: We need to move away from the culture, both as fans and the people running Everton, of panicking and firing the manager at the first sign of trouble. Everton will never get back to winning trophies with that attitude. We need to stick with it, just as Carter and Kendall did by ignoring the noise from our supporters, who let their understandable frustrations get the better of them. Successful clubs do not chop and change managers, directors of football, etc, as often as we have. That approach has failed at Everton and it is time to move on and give someone the time and loyalty to build. Trevor Steven recently called for restraint and less toxicity from our fan base and he's right.

Craig: Absolutely not rocket science - a capable right-back to replace Seamus and a pedigree striker with experience to replace the two presumably decent guys who sadly lack any ability but who have toiled both with effort but very little ability. As a supporter of almost 70 years, when I think of past Everton strikers why is it that a transfer or a youth academy graduate has not come through?
