Sean Dyche has not reviewed Everton’s horror show on the south coast ahead of the club’s crucial game with Bournemouth.
Across five grim November days the Blues travelled down to the Vitality Stadium twice - and were pummelled on both occasions. Being knocked out of the Carabao Cup and suffering a morale-sapping Premier League defeat to an aggregate loss of 7-1 ensured a downbeat feeling as the side entered the World Cup break.
For many of the fans, some of whom had travelled a combined 1,000 miles to watch the double humiliation unfold, it was a sign of just how precarious Everton’s initial progress had been - days before the first defeat the club had gone into a Bonfire Night match with Leicester City knowing a win would send it into the top half. For some, it was the week that highlighted the reign of Frank Lampard was doomed.
