Dyche also said that the quality of crosses needs to be improved, and the team has seen positive changes since he replaced Lampard.

Everton boss Sean Dyche admits his side are nervous and stressed ahead of their big game at Leicester, suggesting they are in for another relegation battle.


Everton , facing serious relegation crisis for the first time since 1951, have won just one of their last 10 games. Dyche claims there have been positive changes since he took over from Frank Lampard. Lampard has scored just five points in his last 10 Premier League games, scoring seven and conceding 17 . Dyche has six points in his first three appearances but is seven in his last 10 , scoring eight and conceding 20. Everton conceded 4 goals in Dyche's first 4 games but after he replaced Connor Coady with Michael Keane at central defence, they conceded 18 goals in their next nine games .


Dyche believes the team's second-half slump was due to a lack of consistency for the 90 minutes, particularly in the past two home losses to Newcastle and Fulham.


When asked why, Dyche said: "Nervousness, pressure, focus, preparation for games, injuries, suspensions, rotations of different players; all of these factors affect performance. You work hard in these difficult times. , like we got good results against Chelsea and Tottenham. However we obviously didn't get over the impact of the second half against Fulham and Newcastle. I thought the game against Crystal Palace was a bit flat. But I can't stand it the most It was the second half for Fulham and Newcastle."


Dyche also said that the quality of crosses needs to be improved and they do need to provide better delivery at certain times.
