SQUAD MOTIVATION

Changes in football are almost always welcome and necessary and the mental part of Everton's current squad will be one of the key points for getting the Toffees back on track. The action of the most experienced players will be decisive, as they should be who opens the door for this change. Contesting more than just accepting failures will be the first step to achieve good results. Lack of dialogue, or error in the message, Everton never scored between 46 and 60 minutes of Premier League matches, conceded 22 of 16 goals in the second half and four times conceded in 90 minutes.

FIND THE SQUAD REFERENCES

Like all big clubs, Everton needs their references. In a squad valued at almost €500 million, there is no shortage of quality players, but Richarlison, Bernard, Lucas Digne, Alex Iwobi or Moise Kean have not had the expected influence.

SOLVE SET-PIECES PROBLEMS

Last season, nobody conceded more goals than Everton from set-pieces. Marco Silva's team conceded 20 goals last year, and this season the count is already in seven. A lot of work is needed to fix a problem that already cost many points to Everton. On other hand, the offensive set-pieces only produced two goals. Too less for a team that should be expected to fight for the top places.
