The emotional turbulence of Everton’s dressing room was immediately identified as a problem by Sean Dyche when he took over as Blues boss.
Dyche arrived at Finch Farm with the club on a shocking run of form and heading into its second consecutive relegation battle. Everton are still at risk of a first relegation in decades but they significantly improved their chances of survival with a stunning win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday.
Speaking after that victory, Dyche stressed the importance of his players remaining grounded, going so far as to state that handling the aftermath of a win can be harder than dealing with the impact of a defeat.
