Sean Dyche believes his Everton squad is now going beyond his original blueprint and taking responsibility for adopting his approach.
The Blues boss has repeatedly spoken of creating a “relentless mentality” since his appointment in late January. Michael Keane’s stunning last minute equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur followed Ellis Simms’ late leveller at Chelsea to suggest his side is now the embodiment of that attitude.
Speaking after Keane’s strike earned Everton a valuable point that moved the club out of the bottom three, Dyche said the improvement in his squad had gone beyond taking on his instructions to taking “ownership” of making sure they are put into practice.
