Here is what Sean Dyche had to say about Everton’s form in the Premier League
Everton continues to struggle in the ongoing Premier League as they ail in the 15th position with 11 points from 13 games. The Toffees have managed to win just two games while drawing five out of them.
Amidst all the troubles, Everton’s manager, Sean Dyche, has made one thing clear. He urged his team to seriously aim to catch up in the Premier League.
Everton are a good four points away from West Ham, ailing in the 15th position of the points table. Defence has been a major issue for them as they have conceded 21 goals from 13 matches. With a goal difference of -11, Everton needs a paradigm shift at the earliest. Only then can they keep their ship afloat in the ongoing iteration of the Premier League.
