England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India sportsbook
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign sportsbook
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play sportsbook between now and November 11 whatever happens sportsbook
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white sportsbook
England need wins and lots of them sportsbook
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask sportsbook
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw sportsbook
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament sportsbook
Since landing, things have been even more muddled sportsbook
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side sportsbook
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four sportsbook
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan sportsbook
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago sportsbook
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects sportsbook
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are sportsbook better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 sportsbook
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking sportsbook
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all sportsbook
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream sportsbook
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship sportsbook between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together sportsbook
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier sportsbook
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked sportsbook
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone sportsbook
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed sportsbook
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style sportsbook

The Merseyside derby features the side second only to Tottenham in the table sportsbook
Not Liverpool, and not the standings that matter most sportsbook
But in the shot charts, Everton, with 133, are behind only the actual league leaders sportsbook
They have a higher expected goals in league sportsbook football this season than Manchester City sportsbook
They average more shots per match than Barcelona sportsbook
An early-season anomaly or is Sean Dyche a born-again entertainer and Dycheball sportsbook football’s newest great attacking philosophy? If logic dictates that the answer veers towards the former – after all, at this stage of last season, Frank Lampard’s Everton had the Premier League’s best defensive record – Dyche has had a point during the post-match interviews where he has repeated a mantra about the number and quality of chances his side have generated sportsbook
They were camouflaged in part by the low conversion rate, by the meagre tally of nine goals, by the fact Everton did not score in their first three league games and, for the first time in their history, they lost their opening three at Goodison Park without finding the net sportsbook
There is a case for arguing that if Everton had been sportsbook better at finishing, they would have required fewer shots: take a comfortable lead early and they might not have had 19 efforts against Fulham or 15 versus Wolves, each in 1-0 defeats at Goodison Park, or 23 at home to Luton, also in a loss sportsbook
RecommendedEverton set to learn Premier League fate as FFP hearing nears conclusionMohamed Salah calls for Gaza to be given humanitarian aid ‘immediately’Premier League increasing number of live games as part of new broadcasting dealsAnd yet there is something remarkable in a Dyche team lacking too much obvious creativity generating such statistics: he is the manager who took Burnley to seventh in the Premier League while averaging under a goal a game and in a season when only four clubs had fewer shots sportsbook
At Turf Moor, Dyche was a byword for 4-4-2: at Goodison Park, he has tended to play 4-4-1-1 and perhaps that shift has helped generate more opportunities sportsbook
Everton’s reinvention as the expected goals Wunderteam stems in part from Dyche’s chosen No 10: perhaps, given his emphasis on physicality, it is typical he has a runner rather than a flair player in the role sportsbook
And yet Everton have excelled at getting Abdoulaye Doucoure into scoring positions sportsbook
He has (on Understat’s model) the third highest non-penalty xG in the division, sportsbook bettered only by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak, at 4 sportsbook
87 sportsbook
It has only brought the Malian three goals but it is notable his average shot distance is just 11 sportsbook
5 yards sportsbook
By comparison, Haaland’s is 11 sportsbook
3; these are the statistics of men who shoot from close range, who get good chances sportsbook
Injuries have meant several Everton players have had abbreviated campaigns so a sample size becomes even smaller; yet it is notable how several players have a high xG per 90 minutes on the pitch: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (0 sportsbook
92), Doucoure (0 sportsbook
64), sportsbook Beto (0 sportsbook
62), Arnaut Danjuma (0 sportsbook
60) and Jack Harrison (0 sportsbook
44) sportsbook
Neal Maupay’s tally was 1 sportsbook
38 before he left for Brentford, in part because he missed all those chances sportsbook
sportsbook Beto is yet to score a league goal but the shot-happy signing has had a nuisance value sportsbook
Abdoulaye Doucoure is only sportsbook bettered in the xG charts by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak (PA)That many of the chances originate from the flanks, from crossing and from set-pieces show a typical method of attacking under Dyche; he has rarely had a midfield playmaker sportsbook
Everton rank second only to Luton for crosses this season sportsbook
Their three most prolific crossers are Ashley Young, James Garner and Dwight McNeil sportsbook
Harrison’s 0 sportsbook
97 assists per 90 minutes is the most of any player in the division who has played over 100 minutes, albeit just 118 sportsbook
Among those who have played 200 or more, McNeil (0 sportsbook
57 from 371) ranks second only to Mohamed Salah sportsbook
Equally, there is a supporting cast: Everton have 12 players with an expected goals per 90 minutes of at least 0 sportsbook
12; that they include all of Dyche’s full-backs is a further sign of his style of play sportsbook
By way of comparison, only six Everton players last season had had an xA per 90 of 0 sportsbook
12 or more and they included Tom Cannon, who played a mere 15 minutes, and Salomon Rondon, who featured for just 96, plus Alex Iwobi and Demarai Gray, who have both since been sold sportsbook
So, in his own way, Dyche has made Everton more creative: with powerful strikers, crossing wingers and his familiar, prosaic feel sportsbook
His signings has shown a clarity of thought: with a target man, in sportsbook Beto; a full-back with 71 Premier League assists, in Young; a winger with a high shot volume, in Danjuma; and one who was directly involved in 37 top-flight goals in three seasons at Leeds, in Harrison sportsbook
Dwight McNeil is second to only Mohamed Salah when it comes to expected assists (Getty Images)But Everton’s attacking efforts in his reign have revolved around two he inherited, neither particularly potent previously sportsbook
McNeil and Doucoure kept Everton up last season, each with five goals and two assists in the 18 matches after Dyche took charge sportsbook
Thus far this season, each is on course to producing sportsbook better numbers sportsbook
And yet they come with a caveat sportsbook
So far, Everton have had five home games sportsbook
They have faced two of the current bottom four, in Luton and Bournemouth, and two more in the lower half, in Fulham and Wolves sportsbook
They are still only 16th and the fixture list gets tougher sportsbook
They underperformed their expected goals dramatically last season so the fact they are doing so again does not automatically mean the numbers will even themselves out sportsbook
They will almost certainly end the season with a lower xG than City and fewer shots per game than Barcelona sportsbook
But for now, the second lowest scorers last year have been rebranded as the team with the second highest number of shots now sportsbook
Overworked opposition defenders may not be the only people who are surprised about that sportsbook
