Everton manager Sean Dyche reflects on a rollercoaster season, picking his key moments and explaining whether he ever had doubts during the difficult periods
The battling defeat at Tottenham Hotspur and the “ugly” win over Burnley were two of Sean Dyche’s highlights this season.
While he was confident he could take Everton beyond the final week relegation battles of the past two seasons, he accepted he had not predicted his side would push for 50 points - a feat they would have narrowly missed had eight points not been deducted for off-field matters.Everton takeover: Farhad Moshiri confirms 777 Partners alternatives in talks with supporters
That sequence without three points lasted until the following April, ending in a 1-0 win over Burnley from a performance Dyche concedes was tough to watch but which delivered a result that was crucial to the club. “But of course, when you bring it all together and look at the enormity of the game, the game against Liverpool is bound to be a highlight. Differently for me - I don’t understand the depth of it and I spoke openly about that before the games with Liverpool. But to do it at Everton, for the first time in 14 years or however long it was, and to back up a really important game , and then go again on the Saturday . That was a massive, massive week to bring it all together.
