When Brian Sorensen was unveiled as the new Everton boss last spring, he outlined his ambition to get the club "back where it belongs".
The Dane's arrival on Merseyside followed a turbulent campaign that saw Everton finish 10th after the dismissal of managers Willie Kirk and Jean-Luc Vasseur. The need to steady the ship and instil an identity into a squad that - for much of last season - lacked cohesion was acute.
The summer transfer window saw a huge overhaul of personnel, with nine depatures and ten new arrivals before September's deadline day. Everton now boast the youngest average starting XI in the Women's Super League and, while there is still a long way to go before the club is competing for the highest honours in the women's game, Sorensen does seem to have built a side that is very much heading in the right direction.
