“Lots of people said when I arrived that I wouldn’t be able to turn Everton around and that drove me on. My inspiration was to prove them wrong. I started this season thinking this was my best ever chance – even better than the year we qualified – to get into the top four, so you can imagine how disappointed I feel. I thought this was the one. I now have to change and make sure I get a team that goes back to showing we have a bit of fire in our belly.
I made a change this year in my approach,” he says. “I am always a bit cautious so most years I would say let’s get the points to be safe from relegation and we move on from there. That wasn’t my start this year. My start this year was nothing like that. It was to say we are aiming to finish in the top six. I had changed and I wanted that to get to the players and come out through the supporters. “I wanted not to get off to a bad start, so I tried to change everything to avoid that. Maybe I should have just said to get the points to avoid relegation.
“It’s tough at lots of times. I have a really good group of players, good players, and they are due to show. They all think it as well, I think it, so come on then. You might miss chances, but you keep making them, but what you don’t do is lose. Eventually that happens and you get deflated but you have to keep going, keep doing what you believe in and your fortunes will change. I want them to show it’s hurting them as much as it’s hurting me. They have a great spirit and part of that comes from winning, but also from the types of players you have in the group, and they know the manager’s not happy so we will need to see where we go.”
