00:00And just looking at David Moyse's appointment, obviously, coming back, we mentioned it's
00:08sort of a 2.0 of David Moyse. He's got a big job on his hands, and he was obviously really
00:12certain of signing that longer extended contract to make sure it's not just a survival job,
00:19it's something that they want to build on in the future, and he wants to have another
00:21sort of great crack at going with Everton's managerial role. What's the sort of biggest
00:27changes that he's had so far? I mean, the obvious ones being the sort of morale inside
00:33the camp and inside the Goodison, they seem a bit more confident to have him back and
00:38a bit more stability maybe than under Sean Dyche. But in terms of just all round, what's
00:44the biggest changes he's made so far, and can you see these changes sticking and actually
00:49having a good impact on Everton?
00:51I think in the two games he's been in charge, certainly he's wanted to play a little bit
00:56more football. Sean Dyche, we know his style, it's a game of percentages. But since Aston
01:05Villa, the one-nil defeat, there weren't much in it, to be fair. They were punished by a
01:10good counter-attack, but when you looked at all the stats of the game, the game was quite
01:14close. Everton showed a few improvements on that. They started trying to play around from
01:20the back a little bit more, and that's what happened against Tottenham. They looked more
01:26comfortable knocking it around, playing it about, and the players looked like they enjoyed
01:34it as well. He looks like he's rejuvenated as a player, like Jesper Lindström, who has
01:40a really good game against Tottenham on the right flank. He struggles under Sean Dyche,
01:46he didn't look like a Sean Dyche player whatsoever, but maybe he's someone who can benefit.
01:51Dominic Calvert-Lewins getting more chances now, that was the trouble. For as long as
01:56his barren streak went on, he wouldn't get a lot of goalscoring chances. It was a bit
02:01of a flankless task for him, running the channels up top, isolated. An interesting move that
02:08he made against Tottenham was Hanson Jake O'Brien, his full Premier League debut. He
02:12came in from Lyon in the summer for a fee of £16 million. He had limited chances. He
02:18is a centre-back by trade, and I think he maybe understands that Everton's centre-back
02:23pair, James Tarkowski and Jarrod Bramfwaite, had pretty much certainties to start, but
02:29he would have hoped for more chances. It was interesting because as a right-back, he was
02:34given a little bit more freedom. Vitaly Mikhalenko against Aston Villa was a little bit more
02:41attacking, and he looks like he maybe has benefitted as well. He struggled certainly
02:49under Dite this season. Plenty to build from, but it's all about results now. Everton need
02:55to get results and just get out of that relegation bath.
