Everton must find a run of form in Premier League again

Despite gaining back 4 points, their form has been very poor as of late.

Transcript

00:00 Obviously, we've touched on how important that extra four points is, but at the end

00:07 of the day, they haven't won in the league since the 16th of December, which is quite

00:12 concerning for them. And that was, of course, when they were on a run of four games, four

00:17 wins. How important is it that they've got to find a run like that again?

00:21 Yeah, the need to start picking up results early means Saturday needs Bryant was obviously

00:27 a little bit of a soft punch. I didn't think Evan played well at all, I didn't think, in

00:34 the first half. Both did pretty in the second half and started creating a bit. I was like,

00:38 "Sakori, that's one clear off the line." And Jarrod Bramfoet, obviously, that's a superb

00:43 finish because it went two-nil up. And then, obviously, the red card changes things and

00:48 Evan started to sit deep. And I feel a little bit for Sean Dyes because there's some fans

00:53 who say, "Oh, why negativity?" But I don't think that was him. I just think, naturally,

01:02 as players, you think, "We'll protect Alessio." I think it's easier to defend, isn't it? He

01:07 boxed and got out and started attacking teams and maybe being a little bit vulnerable then.

01:12 And Everton, they're not a possession side, so when they've got more of a ball, they're

01:21 not used to it either as well. They're not used to taking teams on. But as you say, nine

01:27 games and also a win now. There have been some tricky ones in there, to be fair. Man

01:31 City twice, Tottenham twice. They were pretty poor against Palace, especially in the first

01:39 half. Disappointed by the performance at Walsh. Walsh were well and truly deserved winners

01:45 on that occasion. But they need to start finding a way of scoring goals from open play because

01:52 another set-piece goal from Jarrod Brampley, great finish in the second phase, reacted

01:57 well. But they need to start finding a way of scoring from open play. And Dominic Calvert-Lewin

02:03 hasn't scored in 20 games now since, I think it's four months. Luckily, they play a West

02:10 Ham side who maybe are a little bit vulnerable. David Voice coming in for a little bit of

02:15 criticisms. They played Brentford tonight, don't they? So if they have a tough result

02:19 there, then the pressure will be on West Ham and maybe Everton can use that to their advantage.

02:24 You'd think that Goodson will be a good atmosphere, a buoyant atmosphere after what's happened.

02:29 And they just need to make sure they don't get dragged back in again. I mean, it's the

02:35 start of the season. If Everton finish 15th, 16th in the final two, three games as they

02:40 have rubbers, then it's progress. And that's all Sean's I'd say before we know it, is he's

02:46 been dealt a tough hand. If Everton get to that point, then a lot of people I'm sure

02:51 will be delighted.
