00:00Will Everton gathering their first Premier League win of the season, what's the main take and thoughts on the win as the dust has settled?
00:10The pressure was maybe starting to slightly grow on Sean Dyche. I think he still has some detractors among sections of supporters.
00:20But playing a Crystal Palace side who also haven't won this season, if Everton weren't beating a team like Crystal Palace you were probably looking and thinking where are the points going to come from?
00:34I actually think that Everton have played better this season than they did against Crystal Palace certainly in the first half.
00:41That performance against Bournemouth for those seven minutes was really good. It was just the final nine minutes of it.
00:48But they were poor in the first half. Everton went behind to mark a goal.
00:54Palace had the better of the play without really testing Jordan Pickford and Everton had a couple of chances in their own right.
01:01They come out in the second half and they were much better, much more intense.
01:06Dwight McNeil scored two fantastic goals. I mean the first one was a great hit so he picked it up in space.
01:12I think the second one was just as good to be honest with you.
01:16Because it gave Deed Henderson the Palace goal he has and it was a composed finish.
01:20From there Palace didn't threaten Everton. I can't remember Jordan Pickford making a save.
01:25Everton didn't create too much of their own.
01:29But overall it was a decent victory and now momentum is needed to be built.
01:35It's going to be difficult next time against Newcastle.
01:39But as you say, just to get that monkey off the back and having Jarrett Barnsley back was absolutely monumental.
01:48Everton conceded 14 goals about him.
01:53And the back line just looked so much more confident.
01:58James Sarkoz, his form nearly past the season had come into question but he was very much back to his best.
02:05It just gives that stability really and I think exudes confidence onto others.
02:12And Sean Dighton says after the game that there won't be any more scrutiny on Jarrett Barnsley from him.
02:18But I think there definitely will be from the outside world.
02:22Given his form last season and the interest from Man Utd in the summer.
02:27I think people will be looking at him as he gets on this week.
02:31But I think he's the sort of character who's quite composed, quite level-headed.
02:36He doesn't seem to be affected by that talk of a potential move away in the summer.
02:42Ultimately he'll know if he is going to go on to get a big money move in the future.
02:49He's got to keep his stance up and keep improving.
02:52But yeah, big win for Everton and now they've got to carry on that momentum against Newcastle.
