00:00 On to Everton, Will. Does Sean Dyche know his best team now?

00:05 Obviously, we've spoken, it has changed quite a few times.

00:07 There's been a lot of injuries. A lot of them have come back now.

00:10 Does he sort of look at his side and know his strongest XI now, do you think?

00:15 I think so. I think the majority of it.

00:18 I think you've got your goalkeeper, your nail down centre-back Perrin,

00:22 Tarkovsky and Bramford. The left-back, Vitaly Mikhalenko,

00:25 who's just offered a lot more balance after missing the early part of the season

00:30 and wasn't quite fit. The right-back situation maybe is a little bit...

00:34 ..up for debate. Sean Dyche has preferred the experience of Ashley Young.

00:40 He's obviously saving a one-match suspension now after getting sent off

00:44 in the derby. Nathan Paterson offers more attack and wires,

00:47 but you seem to think that Sean Dyche likes that defensive solidity in the midfield.

00:53 He's got good options, albeit there isn't a lot of options in the centre-midfield,

00:57 but he's got four good options in there -

00:59 Nnamazu Onana, James Garner, Idrissa Garnaghey and Abdullaheet Okorah,

01:04 who's played a little bit further forwards.

01:07 It depends what formation they're playing.

01:11 Generally, they play free in the middle. It was a little bit of a surprise,

01:15 maybe Idrissa Garnaghey didn't come into the team after missing the ball

01:20 of a game of injury against Liverpool and then coming back in

01:23 because he would have had a little bit more experience.

01:26 James Garner, Nnamazu Onana, two outstanding young talents,

01:29 both have shown real glimpses of their ability this season.

01:34 Now it's all about consistency for them.

01:36 Okorah has obviously got the legs and the power and the pace.

01:41 Maybe on the ball, he needs to look after it a little bit better at times,

01:46 but that's not really his game.

01:48 Then you've got your two wingers now, which he's been waiting for.

01:52 Dwight McNeil missed the early part of the season,

01:54 so has Jack Harrison.

01:55 Both have shown what they can do in up front.

01:57 Dominic Calvert-Lewin, albeit he wasn't great against Liverpool,

02:00 fed off scraps and didn't win many battles at all.

02:04 He has one chance in the open 36 seconds, but that's about it.

02:08 But I think he's first choice and then you've got Beto pushing.

02:11 So, yeah, if you said that, he's probably nine roles there, maybe,

02:16 that Everton know that they're the strongest.

02:18 I think once Everton get that base,

02:22 they build partnerships and rapport,

02:24 then they're just going to be tough to beat.

02:26 They're going to be rugged and they're just going to be a Sean Dice scene

02:29 that ultimately needs to stay in the Premier League this season.

02:33 Then you've got a few options on the bench in the likes of Dan Duman,

02:36 whoever he is, and features in the midfield,

02:38 and Beto and Schimitzy.

02:40 So things are looking better for Everton,

02:42 but I think if they can get them in,

02:44 and they'll want a few recruits as well in January.
