A flight away to sort things out on the training pitch.

00:00 And obviously you mentioned there that Deitch is aiming to get the best out of these players.
00:04 Is that his thinking with the training camp in Portugal that they've just gone to?
00:09 Yeah, I just think FC Everton have got a week now before the international break and players will be going off.
00:16 And you're probably looking now, like Jones, Isis, looking at it thinking,
00:20 do we stay around the Finch Farm, same surroundings, players coming in, going home?
00:29 Not a game at the weekend, so it can get a little bit mundane, I suppose, coming in and out.
00:34 It's just nothing to really work towards, like a goal, like the game at the end of the week.
00:41 So it's a chance to get all of them together and really have a good week of training,
00:46 because obviously players are going off. Someone like Jordan Pickford is obviously going off,
00:51 and Amadou Ounaner and other players.
00:54 So it's a chance for Jones Isis to actually work with his group of players.
00:58 He doesn't really have that luxury in an international break.
01:01 So hopefully he can nail down what has gone wrong for Everton in the final phase, as I mentioned earlier.
01:10 Personally, I think the quality of chances needs to improve, even if it means fewer shots on goal,
01:17 and just instil a little bit of confidence in the players again.
01:20 I think Dwight McNeil has come out and admitted there is a bit of a lack of confidence in the final phase.
01:25 He said, "I haven't got some good players in front-end to pitch.
01:30 I've done my cap at Loone, obviously, and I haven't scored for 22 games now."
01:34 He just didn't react to a flash-across goal on Saturday, where normally you would think he would be there.
01:42 He reacted to that. He sort of missed it, and then he didn't react quick enough to the second ball.
01:49 Dwight McNeil missed it. Sean O'Leary was probably the best player at Man Utd.
01:55 He put a couple of good crosses into the box, but maybe he just wanted a little bit more from him going forward.
02:01 He just had that creativity, that spark.
02:03 Everton have been good overall defensively. Two silly tackles cost them two penalties.
02:08 If Everton don't make those, then maybe Man Utd don't go on and score.
02:11 Antonello doesn't score, and I think that's not too bad of a result.
02:14 We should have won that, really.
02:16 I think those are the main things for Sean's eyes. Just have a little bit of camaraderie as well around the group.
02:21 Hopefully, everyone can pick themselves up before players go off and iron out those things that need to be worked on.
