Michael Keane: 'Everyone at Everton expected better results'

Michael Keane says that "everyone" at Everton is frustrated with the club's season so far.

Michael Keane has insisted that the Everton fans are not the only ones frustrated with the club's season so far.

After spending more than £100m on new signings in the summer, expectations were raised on Ronald Koeman's team, whose aim has been to break into the top six in the Premier League.

Seven games into the domestic campaign, the Merseyside outfit sit just two points above the relegation zone as a result of winning two, drawing one and losing four.

Keane, who signed for the Toffees from Burnley in a reported £25m deal during the summer, accepts that the results have not been good enough, but is optimistic that things will turn around.

"I think everyone expected more than we have given so far - the players and the staff, not just the fans," Sky Sports News quotes Keane as saying. "We know we have been disappointing as a team and need to improve.

"Expectations from fans is one thing, but the main thing is what we expect of ourselves, and in a few games this season we have fallen below those standards.

"It is a great set of lads here and the staff have been brilliant with me. It has not been the best of starts with results but I am enjoying my football and, hopefully, there is more to come."

Everton are also struggling in the Europa League, having lost one and drawn one in the group phase.
