Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher feels Everton pulled the trigger with Ronald Koeman too soon, but believes there is one man who can turn their fortunes around.

The Toffees sacked Koeman after the 5-2 against Arsenal at Goodison Park left them in the Premier League relegation places with just eight points from their opening nine games.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is the current favourite for the job but David Unsworth may be given the position on a temporary basis until a permanent replacement can be tied down.

Carragher feels the decision to go with Unsworth gives Everton a chance to sign the best possible manager available.

"Everton are now faced with two options," Carragher wrote in his Telegraph column. "Replace Koeman immediately, which makes Sean Dyche look the most realistic target.

"Or, give Under-23 manager David Unsworth temporary charge, trust him to banish any relegation fears and wait until the end of the season to appoint full-time when there will be far more options available, which could bring a target like Marco Silva into the equation.

"My choice would be Silva, who in a short period at Hull and Watford has shown he has something about him.

"The kind of star quality Moshiri thought Koeman had nine league games ago."
