“We still have another home game this week to put it right, and we fully expect to put it right with a far, far better performance. [We are] frustrated and disappointed, we didn’t turn up how we expected.

We were full of confidence going into the game, but we got punished for switching off at set-pieces and made the game extremely difficult for ourselves to get back into. We had chances, but we weren’t clinical enough or ruthless enough in the first half, and we should have been, myself included.”

Sean Dyche lays it on the line in his conversations with the prospective 777 ownership:

“I’ve explained it to them, I try and give an honest view of what I think the situation is, changing the story. I explained it’s mine and our job to do it.

"I think there was another side to it here, plenty of intent, good quality chances but the cutting edge that we need, the killer edge has got to change here. It’s been two years of the very same thing – decent football, try and score a goal, don’t quite score one, let one in, lose a game.

"That’s what we’re trying to change. It’s got to be a firmer mentality underneath it all to do that ugly stuff, the hard yards, that’s what makes successful teams.”

Everton fan advisory board chairman Dave Kelly has been really impressed by the engagement which has been initiated by the 777 Partners:

“Although it was extremely difficult and caveats, they could only meet informally, if they carry on with fan engagement and the level they intend to, I think it will be a game-changer for the vast majority of Evertonians. When you look at the seven years Farhad Moshiri has been here, he never held meetings of that stature or nature.”

Everton may be in line to switch their kit sponsorship deal from Hummel to the currently under fire Castore after Aston Villa look to cancel their current deal as a result of poor quality shirts that collect sweat rather than the normal wicking that is expected. [Telegraph]
