What’s behind Everton’s emphatic form on the road this season?

Another huge result away from home for Dyche’s side.

00:00 Well, on to Everton, we've come off the back of a fantastic win away at Crystal Palace.

00:05 I mean, when we spoke before the game, you sort of said that Everton can go there and get a result.

00:11 Why did you sort of think that? Because, you know, on paper this is a tough place to go,

00:16 but Everton's away form has been nothing short of remarkable so far this season.

00:21 It has, and I think they're up to fifth in the away form table, to be honest with you, now, of that win against Palace.

00:28 Sean's actually said that he doesn't think it's just the away form, he thinks that Everton have an added result to go through in the home.

00:36 At times this season, you think back to those games against Fulham and Wolves,

00:41 and even the first half an hour against Luton, where they got beaten, Sean's actually saying the performance has been better.

00:48 But I just think away from home it suits Everton a little bit more to be on the back foot,

00:53 allow the other team to have possession and really hit teams on the counter-attack.

00:59 You know, Abselai Zekore, who's involved in all three goals, just got so much pace and power when he really hits teams,

01:06 when he gets forwards. And, you know, I think I've got players like Dwight McNeil who get forwards,

01:10 and Vitaly Mikhalenko who's now added another attacking aspect to his game.

01:15 And maybe just a little bit less pressure as well, playing at Goodison,

01:18 but I think maybe now, where Everton fans were going to Goodison and being a bit nervous and being a bit apprehensive,

01:25 I think that is definitely changing now. I think Everton supporters are going to be going to home games,

01:31 feeling good, feeling positive, and maybe that will exude onto the players then.

01:36 They won't feel that pressure as much. And maybe now, to be fair, they have had some good results at home recently as well,

01:44 Everton, for the last international break to beat Bournemouth, beat Burnley in the Carabao Cup,

01:50 and earned a decent tour against Brighton. So it shows that the form is turning really for Everton.

01:56 And, you know, if they get the home and their away form right, then they're going to be a side to look up rather than down.
