Sean Dyche hailed goalscorers Dwight McNeil and Abdoulaye Doucoure as he praised several individual Everton displays in their 5-1 thrashing of Brighton & Hove Albion and explained what he’s been telling the former to overcome his ‘nemesis.’
Like Doucoure, McNeil bagged a brace at the Amex Stadium while also putting in the cross for home keeper Jason Steele’s own goal and Dyche said: “It’s something I’ve encouraged him to do ever since I’ve known him. His nemesis is sometimes coming deep and short and I’ve explained to him, we want you to go and break the back line, we want you to be dominant with your running as he can carry the ball really, really well.
“Sometimes if he’s been questioned a little bit, he goes inside and short. I’ve said ‘no, no, keep going, keep driving forwards’ because he does it so well and he can cross the ball and as we saw here, he can deliver calm finishes as well – his two finishes are terrific.
