00:00 Looking at the bigger picture, are fans starting to think of a possible relegation fight for
00:11 the third season on the track?
00:14 Well, I think some fans' glasses have turned to half-empty because when you haven't won
00:22 a league game since mid-December, 11 matches, it's hard to be positive, to be quite frank.
00:32 And this break that they've got, this extended break because of the derby being postponed,
00:40 it's sort of... there's so much indifference around supporters.
00:44 There's fans who are quite happy that they don't have to watch Everton for three weeks.
00:50 And it shouldn't be like that as a football fan, you should be thinking, "Well, when's
00:52 our next game?
00:53 I hate the international break.
00:54 No, I hate the fictionalists being interrupted."
00:58 It's the other way around.
00:59 I think fans, they're getting a little bit exhausted, not to the extent of the past couple
01:04 of seasons where they had to drag Everton over the line out of relegations, just because
01:09 results haven't been got on the way.
01:12 And there's a bit of a division now between fans and after Saturday's loss against Man
01:18 United towards Sean Dyche.
01:22 I don't think there are a lot of fans who are calling for his head by no means, but
01:26 I think fans maybe want to see Dyche get more out of this group of players.
01:31 Can he get more out of them?
01:32 Because they did create a lot of chances against Man United, but how many of them were really
01:39 golden chances?
01:40 How many of them did they really work, Andrea Naher, in the Man United goal?
01:45 I can only really remember making a save from James Garner in the first half that was really
01:50 comfortable.
01:51 One of his near posts, one from Andre Gomes later on, but otherwise it wasn't like in
01:57 some games, the goalkeepers have had great games, where it wasn't like that really against
02:01 Man United.
02:02 But on the other side, I've gone through all the traps at ground and Everton have only
02:06 won twice in the Premier League era.
02:08 The half has a lot of openings, so you take positives from there and if Everton can get
02:12 that little bit of cutting edge, a bit more quality in the final phase, even if they had
02:18 fewer shots on goal, but the chance quality increased, maybe that's what Sean Dyche needs
02:25 to tweak now.
02:27 But four points above the relegation zone, obviously, does that charge for the alleged
02:34 breach of financial rules from last season?
02:37 Could there be another suspended points deduction, Nottingham Forest, all eyes on that.
02:44 But when Everton come back, they need to be red-alive and rejuvenated because they've
02:49 got a big month and if they don't start picking up results quickly, then they will be dragged
02:53 into that relegation fight.
