Everton now have to look how we can turn around our away form to stay in the Premier League.
We’ve dropped points against teams in and around us this season and if we’d had just had a couple of wins here and there at home then we’d be out of this situation but these players have thrown it away in front of their own fans at Goodison Park so I questioned it last year, is there anything that we’re doing away that needs looking at. We’ve got our sports science team monitoring people’s hydration and other small margins like that but what are we doing away that we could change?
Is it the hotels we’re staying in, the way we travel? Are the players too comfortable, are they half asleep?

Could it be the food we’re eating? The bus? Ask the players, have a team meeting and get Seamus Coleman to speak to the lads.
Let’s talk about it now, get it out in the open with the staff over what we can do moving forward because I don’t want to be back here come the end of the season thinking ‘we should have tried this.’ Whatever we’ve tried in the past hasn’t worked and history proves that over the past two seasons so we need to find another way.
Our record away is atrocious and we really need to start putting points on the board on our travels. Is not panic stations as we’re still not in the bottom three but we’re looking at the games ahead and concerned over where our points are going to come from.
We’ve got three games left at Goodison but we can’t count on them, they’re going to be difficult fixtures. Dropping points at home ensures we now have to find a solution away.
The 3-0 win over Crystal Palace was probably our best performance of the season so while both clubs have had a change of manager since then, they’ll feel they owe us one after what was a stroll at Goodison. I’m sick of hearing that Everton’s fans need to be up for it – they’re knackered.
They’re still turning up in huge numbers during a cost of living crisis, filling every allocation we get away, being more vocal than they are at Goodison. What else do you want?
They’re getting behind the team but the players are failing to deliver. It’s then the fans who then have to come back home on long coach journeys with their heads down with their weekend ruined again so the team need to give them something to shout about.
