00:00Looking at Everton and their resurgence under David Moyes, three wins in the Premier League took them away from that gap in terms of the relegation battle, something they were certainly in up until David Moyes came in.
00:16He's just made a fantastic difference. Where do they push on now from this and continue that form?
00:23Obviously some tough games coming up, but Everton seem really full of confidence at the moment.
00:28If you are looking at the teams down there, you look above them a little bit, you've got the struggles of Tottenham at the moment with their injury crisis and the way things are going there.
00:37Then underneath them, it's Wolves, Leicester, Ipswich, they're really, really struggling.
00:42Everton have made real good ground into becoming a side that are pushing away from that relegation zone.
00:49How impressed with them have you been after these few results?
00:52It's been good, it has. There's definitely been a lift.
00:56It's obviously a result to say that, and performances as well. It's not like Everton have ground out plucky 1-0 wins.
01:03In the first game, they lost narrowly to Aston Villa. There wasn't a lot of difference in the two sides, bar a proper goal scorer and Ollie Watkins putting the goal away.
01:16They've just took the shackles off Everton a little bit now.
01:19They're not playing total expansive football, but they're playing effective football that's nice to watch as well.
01:28It's quick, getting the ball forwards, not passing it for the sake of it, but not going long as much as well.
01:35I think a lot of fans were getting a little bit perturbed by those tactics under Sean Dyche.
01:42You only have to look at the goals he scores against Leicester.
01:46The first one was a long ball from the kick-off, but that's what happens with every team.
01:52The second goal, the third goal were really nice through balls that the vessel latched onto.
01:59He played around a little bit from the back a bit more, playing on from the back a bit more, playing through the third a little bit more.
02:04Just giving players a little bit more confidence, I think, to go out and express themselves rather than playing a game of percentages, which it was a lot under Sean Dyche.
02:15I think the players have been lifted. Obviously, David Moyes has come in and tweaked a couple of things in terms of the team.
02:22He's deployed Jake O'Brien as a right-back. He didn't really get a look in under Sean Dyche despite arriving last summer for £16m.
02:31Jesper Lindström, who really struggled after arriving on loan from Napoli, has been given a bit of a lease of life.
02:41Illuminati as well, David Moyes has said he wants them to carry the ball a little bit more.
02:47I think that's what one player is benefiting as well. Vitaly Mikhalenko, he even got fours and put crosses in, which didn't really happen under Sean Dyche.
02:56The shackles have come off a bit. David Moyes will be delighted, but he knows there's a lot of hard work still to do.
