Everton boss Dyche: Calvert-Lewin needs to keep working

Everton boss Sean Dyche admits they have issues in front of goal.

The Blues have scored 27 goals in the past 25 Premier League games.

Dyche said: "We ask the players to defend from the front and I think they are getting better at that. The tactical shape and understanding within the side has improved, but it is then about finding that balance and scoring goals.

"We know the biggest part of the challenge so far is transitioning the chances we are making into actual finishes and goals. That is obviously still a work in progress.

"How do you find the freedom to finish? How do you find the freedom to miss, even? I am trying to work with the players on freeing that up. The final moment of truth is finding the clarity to find the right finish."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn't scored in 19 games and Dyche added: "He is staying fit, I think he is getting stronger all the time. The impact is what it is. Strikers know the rules of their job. If it is not quite working then how do you get it to work for you?

"Key habits are important - getting in the right areas, arriving at the right time in the right places - and you have got to keep doing that. I think he knows where he is at."
