00:00Your next three or four games, and you've got Leicester, you've got Palace, you've got Ipswich shortly after that.

00:05Those three teams all directly above you.

00:07So do you sense that a really critical period of games now coming up for Everton?

00:11I think I've spoken endlessly about it.

00:13Every part of the Premier League season is critical.

00:16You know, you don't design to get off not to a good start.

00:19Trust me, no manager does, no team does, no player does.

00:22You know, we wanted to get off to a better start than we've got off to, but we haven't.

00:26So therefore, we've got five different ways of operating, five different ways of producing to go and win performances.

00:33And like I say, you'd always take a lucky one.

00:35You don't want to build on it, but you take one.

00:38But we had this start last season, so that's a bit of a head-scratcher as well.

00:41You know, lots of challenges there, but we've had that last season and I think the season before that before I was here as well.

00:47So, you know, I'm trying to fathom out that side of it, but the immediate thing is to correct it as quick as possible.

00:52The point I'm making is that that team's in and around you and you'd want to be winning those games otherwise.

00:57You want to be winning all games.

00:59It's not that easy, quite obviously.

01:00The fact they're in and around you doesn't make it easier, it just makes it another challenge.

01:04So we've got to take it on and be clear-minded and put a team out there that we believe can win.
