00:00And just looking at David Moyes's appointment,

00:03obviously coming back, we mentioned,

00:05it's sort of a 2.0 of David Moyes.

00:07He's got a big job on his hands,

00:09and he was obviously really certain of signing

00:11that longer extended contract

00:13to make sure it's not just a survival job.

00:16It's something that they want to build on in the future,

00:18and he wants to have another sort of great crack

00:21at going with Everton's managerial role.

00:24What's the sort of biggest changes that he's had so far?

00:27I mean, the obvious ones being

00:29the sort of morale inside the camp

00:31and inside of Goodison,

00:32they seem a bit more confident to have him back

00:36and a bit more stability maybe than under Sean Dyche.

00:39But in terms of just all round,

00:42what's the biggest changes he's made so far?

00:44And can you see these changes sticking

00:46and actually having a good impact on Everton?

00:49I think in the two games he's been in charge,

00:50certainly he's wanted to play a little bit more football.

00:56Sean Dyche, we know his style,

00:57it's a game of percentages.

01:02Since Aston Villa, the one-nil defeat,

01:05there weren't much in it, to be fair.

01:06They were punished by a good counter-attack,

01:09but when you looked at all the stats of the game,

01:11the game was quite close.

01:14Everton showed a few improvements on that.

01:16They started trying to play around

01:18from the back a little bit more,

01:19and that's what happened against Tottenham.

01:23He looked more comfortable knocking it around,

01:26playing it about,

01:29and the players looked like they enjoyed it as well.

01:34He looks like he's rejuvenated as a player

01:36like Jesper Lindstrom,

01:38who has a really good game against Tottenham.

01:40On the right flank, he struggles under Sean Dyche.

01:44He didn't look like Sean Dyche's player whatsoever,

01:46but maybe he's someone who can benefit.

01:49Dominic Calvert-Lewins getting more chances now,

01:52that was the trouble.

01:53For as long as his barren streak went on,

01:57he wouldn't get a lot of goalscoring chances.

01:58It was a bit of a flankless task for him,

02:00running the channels up top, isolated.

02:04An interesting move that he made against Tottenham

02:06was Hans and Jake O'Brien, his full Premier League debut.

02:10He came in from Lyon in the summer

02:11for a fee of 16 million.

02:14He had limited chances.

02:16He is a centre-back by trade,

02:17and I think he maybe understands

02:20that Everton's centre-back pair,

02:21James Tarkowski and Jarrod Bramfwaite,

02:23are pretty much certain he's the stars,

02:27but he would have hoped for more chances.

02:29But it was interesting,

02:30it was his boys as a right-back,

02:33something that Moyes did in his first spell.

02:34I mean, remember Jolion Lescott playing there

02:37when Moyes' first spell,

02:39and it just gave Everton a little bit more solidity

02:44and allowed Jesper Lindstrom

02:46not to think about his defensive duties

02:49as much, but he had to get back up.

02:51He was given a little bit more freedom,

02:54and Vitaly Mikhalenko against Aston Villa

02:58was a little bit more attacking,

03:01and he looks like he maybe has benefitted as well.

03:04He struggled, certainly, under Dyche this season.

03:09Plenty to build from,

03:10but it's all about results now, Everton need to get results

03:13and just get out of that relegation bath.
