While the team waits to win, Sean Dyche offers a frank assessment of Everton’s form.
Sean Dyche is focused on maintaining his players’ consistency despite Everton’s ongoing struggle to secure a Premier League victory.
Since their last league win against Burnley just before Christmas, Everton has endured a winless streak.
Their sole victory in 2024 came in an FA Cup replay against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
Over the last 10 games in all competitions, they’ve only managed to win once.
However, Dyche emphasizes the importance of considering context when evaluating the team’s performance.
Despite the winless streak, Everton has only lost four of their last 10 matches and has kept four clean sheets.
If you include their impressive form from early December, they’ve won five out of 14 games with eight clean sheets.
Dyche urges his players to ignore external “noise” and focus on the reality of their performances.
He believes that mood is temporary and points to Everton’s solid points tally over recent games as evidence of their progress, except when facing the top teams.
Having inherited a relegation-threatened side in 2023, Dyche has overseen improvements that should have placed Everton comfortably in mid-table. However, a 10-point deduction, currently under appeal, has overshadowed their progress.
Despite uncertainty surrounding the deduction and potential further breaches of financial
rules, Dyche stresses the importance of focusing on the present challenge.
He acknowledges the improvements made by Everton but emphasizes the need to
address their current league position realistically and prepare for the challenges ahead.
