Conor Coady has cited a drop in personal standards and pride among the Everton squad as reason for today's dismal 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth.
The Toffees lost at the Vitality Stadium for the second time in five days as goals from Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Jaidon Anthony came without reply. Everton's profligacy in front of goal was clear to see once again and they have now failed to score in their last three league games, but more concerning for Frank Lampard will have been the mistakes from the usually-reliable defensive unit.
Jordan Pickford spilled a shot into Tavernier's path for the opener, and the marking for the two goals that followed left alot to be desired - although James Tarkowski was on the ground with what looked like a head injury when Moore headed in from close range. But rather than point to individual errors or decisions going against his side, Coady lamented his side's efforts as 'nowhere near good enough'.
