Everton comfortably beat Burnley to reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night
Sean Dyche believes a run in the Carabao Cup is the perfect chance for his Everton side to change the story at the club.
And asked if a cup run brings hope and optimism, Dyche replied: “We’ve got to change the story here - we know it’s not changed yet, but it’s just beginning to show signs of that little shift forwards, and if you add in the cup, then ok, 'look, you’ve got yourself here, so let’s see if we can take in the next one.
It is the first time that Dyche has managed to reach the last eight of a cup competition as a manager. He also made just two changes to the side that beat West Ham United at the weekend, while Burnley made seven for the game. “Probably the FA was deemed weirdly stronger than the league... when you’re a kid, I mean. When you get older, start playing professionally, and realise what it takes to win a league, then you understand why winning the league is more important.
“I thought it was relevant against Burnley to pick the team I did, because the players are in a good place, so we thought to keep the good place going. Earlier on in the competition, we changed things around.
