(The Guardian) Everton: Having had their points deduction for a breach of profit and sustainibility rules reduced from 10 to six points this week, Everton are now five points clear of the relegation zone ahead of their home match against West Ham tomorrow. While the respite is welcome, Everton are without a win in nine Premier League games and have taken just five points from the past 27 available to them.
“We have to get it right, especially against teams like West Ham coming up here,” said Sean Dyche ahead of the game. I think we have to go into the game in the right state of mind and I think we are in the right place as a team. We need to find those defining moments and they become ever-important when you haven’t been winning.”
Everton have been struggling to score. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has gone 20 games without a goal, while back-up striker Beto has bagged just one in 21 league appearances, most as a substitute.
“It is about finding different ways of creating chances but I think we have done that considerably well over the season,” said Dyche. “The moment of truth is someone putting it in the net. The players know that and they don’t need reminding about it from me every day. And you can still score from set-pieces and we have been strong at that. They know where it’s at but it is our responsibility to keep getting the team to forge the chances and the higher quality chances give you an easier opportunity to score.”
