Everton head into the summer knowing there is a lot of work to do in order to improve for next season.
Supporters endured a torrid campaign in which the club's Premier League survival was in jeopardy until the final week of the season. Spurred on by a fanbase that refused to give up on them, the side just about made it - securing their top flight status with that memorable comeback against Crystal Palace.
While Everton were unfortunate with injuries over the course of the campaign - and have legitimate complaints about several major decisions that went against them - the reality is Frank Lampard and director of football Kevin Thelwell have a major rebuilding job on their hands. Lampard has already spoken of his desire to make his squad more robust - and been clear his initial priority is to keep hold of key players.
