Frank Lampard acknowledged his side had not had a shot on target in 180 minutes of football but warned the statistic was a "red herring".
Everton failed to work Nick Pope in the Newcastle United goal or Hugo Lloris in the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, losing both games by fine margins. They did, however, create two golden opportunities at Spurs and Lampard said he was pleased with some aspects of his side's attacking play.
The Blues boss said work at Finch Farm to improve that area of Everton's game would continue and added the return to fitness of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a significant boost. He also pointed to the failure to award a penalty for a challenge on Anthony Gordon as being a factor in the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle.
