Sean Dyche admits he can’t be sure his struggling Everton side will be confident going into their relegation ‘six-pointer’ at Leicester City on Monday as such emotions have to be built.
Everton suffered a second successive home defeat on Thursday as Newcastle United thrashed them 4-1 despite a passionate Goodison Park welcome from Blues fans. The result leaves Dyche’s side second bottom of the Premier League with five games to go having picked up just one win from their last 10 matches.
Everton’s players started well against Eddie Howe’s high-flying Magpies but their morale seemed sapped after falling behind and they were emphatically dismantled in the second half. With a crucial trip to the King Power Stadium next up against opponents just one point above them, Dyche acknowledges he can’t offer any assurances when it comes to the mentality of individuals within his team.
