Sean Dyche said his side needs to cut out serious mistakes but that he had not witnessed the fragility critics have suggested his Everton side have displayed throughout the season.
The Blues fell to a 4-0 defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday, the third and fourth goals coming as the hosts dismantled them during a difficult second half. Everton were competitive for the first 40 minutes but, after conceding two goals just before half-time, parts of the performance were similar to the defeats to Bournemouth and Brighton.
In both those matches Everton struggled to stay in the games after going behind. Even under Dyche, the club’s successes have come from defending leads rather than when having to chase a game.
