 I saw an article on the website where you used to speak about seeing an extra edge away from home. What is that extra edge? I think I was trying to reference from when I first got here. You know the idea was that the recent history had not been good away from home and I was more trying to describe it. I think at home you've got your home support and the feeling, you know, your imagined seems to be right at home just from the off, whereas away sometimes you know take an internal atmosphere in the group and internal mentality so I was trying to describe that more than anything that you know the extra edge I was talking about is it's needed I think away from home. You know because often it's home records, home records and then when the crowd wasn't there we all know it changed during the Covid period so you know that was a show of how the home crowd helps how the home feel helps so I think it was more the idea you need the edge anyway but away from home I think it's an internal edge where everyone's committed to the cause which is to win a game of course. I think putting it in the net I think you know the amount of chance we've created the quality of chance as well I'm not never been obsessed by the amount I was saying is the quality of chances but the quality of chance we've made at home and the performances on top of good performances I think you know you've got to score a goal you've got to put it in the net so I think that's the thing that we've got to keep on the detail with really but keep the belief equally you know you've got to keep creating you've got to keep asking questions of the opposition and then find the moment of truth I think it's slightly different because they're you know both strong sides recently with Newcastle you know the way they've got about their business the last season and half or so and Chelsea more historically and finding their feet somewhat you know I think they're both got some groups and trying to get the best of them by spending power all the rest of it but trying to mould teams to win games I think there probably is a little bit more on them and what they're doing than us but that's not from us by the way I think that's in it and I don't think it's from Evertonians either I think it's from the wider picture of football I imagine the mood around the place is as high as it can be I suppose after that picture yeah I think you know the recent news obviously and then a good performance but one that didn't bring a result against Man United and then a strong performance away from home in a win and I felt deserved over the 90 odd minutes so I think it just enhances the feel anyway I think the feeling was good in the camp the performances have been generally good and a good run of results recently but I think it re-enounces that and it grows it helps to bond the players in tighter I think and I think that's come in that real belief in each other as a team and I think that's grown all the time Are you getting any players back into Amadou and I don't want to cover Lewin and André Gomez you have to run out this week Yeah André has had a very frustrating season so far but he got to run out last week he had about 60 odd minutes which is good a bit more to come from him I think to be fully fit Amadou's only just back on the grass so touch and go with our decision around him and then Dom's showing good science day have been right so he'll come back into the thinking about Seamus as well and when his right to introduce him obviously I like it going back to good as some part but he's been in good form at the moment as well someone like Seamus obviously knows him but at the same time he's lacking game time as well so where does that come into the thinking Yeah but I mean excuse me I've spoken clearly recently about the different style of fallbacks we've got in the mixture we've got me Co's developing all the time and getting stronger I feel Youngy with his age experience likewise similar but different with Seamus and obviously part of you know maturing as a player so there's a good feel about the fallback areas and we wanted that balance I think we have got that balance and the demand and I think that's important who gets the shirt who's playing not just by the individual but the team the way the team shapes it the way it's performing the way we're getting results and what do you make of the player that you didn't get to work with while you were here in Everton but the way that Anthony Gordon's form has progressed this season what have you made of it and how much of a threat do you seem as because obviously you've got something more than one threat yeah I don't know much about him excuse me in the sense of working with him on a daily basis it seems like he's settled into life up there but there's more to it up there they've collected some very good players and put a amount of money into the team that's helped a good manager as well I believe and staff doing their jobs right and it's a good mixture and they've shown that so yeah it's not about one player I think they're a good side and other than their injuries I think they've got a good squad actually just finally for me obviously last night at one point it looked like Lewin could move five points more clear on you at the same time without the points of deduction you'd be up in 13th at the moment and we'd be possibly talking about the potential to move into the top half of the table instead we're talking about potential to move out of the bottom three I just wonder how frustrating that is for you and how you can make that move within the camp when there's a frustration about it well the mood's been good so I think like I've spoken about so I don't know if I've ever spoken enough about it well we parked it quickly as a group and said right it is what it is now we crack on so the mood's been good the storyline around it all has maybe enhanced the mood because of I think everyone in football is pretty shocked so that maybe brought a bit more alignment with their own group you know as if like well everyone deems it a big blow not just us performances so far have been good and the attitude towards it so I'm not really overthinking what's happened now it's time to move on it certainly can't get involved in other people's results because we have to look after ourselves but it's helpful if results go your way of course but it's the most helpful thing if you sort things out yourself and that's what we intend to do and I imagine it's been a psychological boost if you can move out of the bottom yeah I think with the idea being that you know what's happened the difference in the lead table as it would be and where it is then I think of course the quicker you can get back into that that low well now low end of the pack because we were sort of getting to the top end of the lower pack if that makes sense and now we've got to climb our way out of it you know and that's just the way it is that's just the reality at this moment you know yeah again we don't have our peels sort of stuff we're going to have to wait and see thanks for any we'll go to Mike ready on those excuse me can you sense an extra spring in the step of the players after Saturday night because as you say the performance against United was a lot to like about it but not the result Saturday you got the result and there is a lift-off element to it now isn't there well that can only be judged on the coming games you can't judge out one game I think there's been a good atmosphere all season I think the clarity of their thoughts to play the clarity of the thoughts to win games or attempt to win games have been really pleasing I think you know the knock that we've had recently it's just been more pleasing to see the group enhance that further and I think you know commit to the next course which is to overturn that situation with the points that is and then see if anything helpful comes along with an appeal but the focus on the performances has been very good I think and winning just enhance everything anyway it's not relevant about whether you've had 10 points taken off you're winning is the thing that enhances all the work that they do and their belief in the work they do the tools that you use to help improve Everton's away form since you've been here can they also be used you think to to improve the home form which despite the chances you've created the noise is very simple about the home form it's scoring goals you know you can you analyse performances which we do of course we analyse them from row and eyes and scouts and guests that I have at the game I think are very honest and equally what the stats are saying so it's scoring goals it's simple we've played very well at home this season arguably better than we've played away but we haven't collected the same points it's putting the ball in the net that's the biggest thing and that's the next challenge because a lot of our performances have been very strong at home How much do you think Beto will have benefited from Saturday because he hasn't started many matches in some sense he had a tough all night because a lot of frustrations as well but you need games to get better there's only so much that you can do in trade yeah he's developing I think Yousef's working really hard as well you know we want them to develop it takes a bit of time coming into the Premier League and he's continued to work very hard he's going both off the pitch sorry off playing sorry for the first bit and on the training pitch and I think that's an important factor but he's going along nicely Dom we know he's a very good player and he's been a big player for a while now and we want him to continue doing that and that also is good for Dom that demand on him to stay in the team because Beto I mean Yousef's younger but he's still developing well he's still working very hard you know there's a bit more pressure around that area of the pitch and Dom's been leading the line for a while now and he's a very good player so you know when Dom's fit at the moment he's very much in our minds quite obviously and Beto's still learning from being around that and gathering his own learning from playing another excellent performance from James Garner and Nottingham Forrest do you think in some respects he suffers occasionally because he's so adaptable he can play at right back at wing back he can play on the right of midfield but I think he thinks his best position is in the centre and some of his recent performances would maybe indicate that Yeah well I think I've said for a long time that I see him being a central midfield player excuse me but his adaptability is a strength for him so it's definitely something that I see as a strength you know he's young, he's open minded he commits to whatever position he's playing but I've always I think I've always stated, certainly in my mind now that he's always been considered in my view as being a central midfield player I think he's very good I think he's learning he's developing his anticipation of the game he's improving all the time it's just another string to his bow that he can play the positions when needed Thanks Mike we'll go to Stuart and Premier League productions Newcastle under Eddie Howe you replaced Eddie Howe Burnley what a decade ago what do you make of how he's developed as a manager and the threats that they will pose you on tomorrow? Well I call manager I think he developed with experience and time he's certainly done that I think he's changed or he's beginning to change the situation at Newcastle when he went in there and he'd obviously made a huge change at Bournemouth from his history there and what he'd done there which was incredible really when you look at Bournemouth then and as they still are now a lot of work done there but going on to Newcastle he'd kind of corrected things in the early part and then the finances obviously helped but along with his good coaching I'm sure and his staff and his knowledge of what the game is but particularly the Premier League then it's a good mixture and that's certainly been shown and you mentioned that goals is the answer to sort of the home form but how do you bring that about? Is it on the training field? No you keep believing you know I mentioned a few weeks ago the number crunches we have here are very in depth at what they do you know I was asking them speaking to them what's your thoughts they said keep doing what you're doing because it pays you back eventually you know because the quality of chance is the biggest thing you know they don't just look at amounts of chances the quality, getting into key areas how many bodies are getting in the effectiveness and all them things the final moment of truth is the key I mean you've got to keep doing it though don't get me wrong I speak to the players you've heard me say it in the media you can't wait for it to happen you've got to make it happen so don't misrepresent what I'm saying it's not about just going oh well the gaffer says the stats are good we're going to win you know a score and win it's about keeping, maintaining pushing the standards and then finding the moments of truth so it's not just a gimme you know we've got to go and earn it So I think through the next four at home including a quarter-final so how important is it that you do improve that that own form quickly? Well I said it's about scoring goals that improves everyone's view of it because I think most of our fans appreciate the side's been playing well at home but of course they're hungry for wins as much as I am as much as the players are so maintaining standards pushing the standards finding the moments of truth I think that's the reality of our challenge at home Thanks Stuart we'll go to Karl for the next question Excuse me Hi Sean Hi I know you're not a fan of the outside noise but the general perception seems to be that the club will be okay even with a ten point deduction that seems to be a vindication of the progress that's been made here and has helped as you say change the story around the team would you say? Well firstly it's not that I'm not a fan of the outside noise it's just noise it's just there secondly I think the progress has been made from internal progress and the way the players are going about it the feel in the camp and the quality I've always said we've got quality the team ship and the belief in each other as a unit and I think that's improved and I just like that the fact that we've took a knock with a ten points but the mentality has stayed firm and we've delivered one game didn't go away with the score line and the final points totally but the next one did and that's because they're sticking to what they do they're sticking to the beliefs in the side and sticking to the belief in each other that we're a good outfit and that's got to be maintained and built upon Does that give you the same optimism that's been sort of spread outside there that you will be okay? Well it's not as easy as that I think people are referring to the fact that the teams that come up everyone thinks they're likely to have a tough season you know you saw last night they take it very close to beaten Arsenal you know that's the way the league can be so there's, yeah again I don't look at it and go oh well we're okay because these teams are deemed by everyone else to be struggling you know I don't see it like that there's three teams that have earned the right to be in the Premier League so we've got to earn the right to first of all be above them three teams even as a minimum because when you're new to the Premier League it's difficult the ten points has changed the situation quite obviously the idea of an appeal and whether we get some end points back is in no month's land so therefore it's back to us to you know figure out ways of winning games and I think that challenge is never ended in the Premier League I don't think it's just because of ten points beginning of the season we were looking you know at the last two seasons same right lads what do we need to change what do we need to get better how do we get better and then further my way through that so that's not about ten points here or there that's about the truth of what it is in the Premier League so I've reminded the players of all of that you know the business I'll have to look after that when it comes round to an appeal and all that sort of things at the moment that's the reality and I'm a great believer in reality it's positive reality as I call them I believe in the positivity of what we can do and achieving things no excuses there's been no excuse from me about it this is the reality this is the challenge let's crack on thanks Carl any further questions in the open section hi Sean um Dwight's got obviously a brilliant goal this weekend and he had one cut off the line as well his first goal of the season do you think he can add more goals to his game on a more consistent basis yeah he showed that last season from when we got in here I think his form was excellent assists and goals and I think it's a surprise it's taken that time to get off this season because I do believe in his quality he's a high-scoring train in weeks you know so he's got real ability around the goal and he can score different kinds of goals I think he scored from close range or long range so I was very pleased for him that his work paid off it's not just his quality I mean he works very very hard for the side and I think that's a good mixture when you've got hard-working players but also the qualities go with it just one on Beto as well obviously he's a similar profile to Dominic and obviously when he's out the side he's got to have Beto to come in to play with a similar profile does that help you just keep the team building towards something and going in the right direction with playing in the same sort of way yeah I mean I don't see him as similar profiles I see him completely different players you know I think they've got different attributes that are important to a side so I think we can use each player differently at some point possibly combine them but that can take time so yeah I mean I think they're both effective in different ways Dominic's just got a lot more experience in the Premier League as well as his quality as well but we see Beto as someone who can continue to learn about the Premier League and develop
