Gary Lineker responds to Sean Dyche’s “bizarre” statement following Everton’s defeat by West Ham United

Gary Lineker commented on Everton‘s recent performance, expressing frustration at their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Despite initially taking the lead against West Ham, Everton ultimately lost 3-1 at home.

This defeat extends their winless streak to six Premier League matches and seven games in all competitions.

Manager Sean Dyche acknowledged the need to secure victories, emphasizing his responsibility for the team’s performance.

Pundit Jermaine Jenas noted the team’s struggle to convert chances into goals during the match.

Lineker highlighted the impact of West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola on the outcome,

suggesting that Everton “can’t finish their dinner” due to missed opportunities.

Everton’s offensive struggles were evident, with Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin failing

to provide consistent goal-scoring threats.

Despite possessing 55% possession and recording 11 shots on target against West Ham, Everton’s lack of clinical finishing proved costly.

With only 29 goals scored in 27 matches, Everton’s offensive deficiencies

have been a recurring issue this season, ranking among the lowest-scoring teams in the league.

Addressing this issue will be crucial for Everton’s survival in the Premier League.

While reinforcing their attacking options is a priority for the upcoming transfer window,

Everton’s immediate focus remains on avoiding relegation, as they currently sit five points above the drop zone.
