Sean Dyche needs to look at himself in the mirror and talk to his coaching staff to ask whether they’re getting the best out of these Everton players, and if not, then why not?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin can score goals. He’s proven that he can score goals in the Premier League and he did that under Carlo Ancelotti.

Yes, he had better creative players around to put the ball on a plate for him, but why can’t our full-backs get forward and get crosses in area to play to Dominic’s strengths?

You’ve got to start believing in your own ability. If you’re a winger, get at the opposition full-back and get your crosses in; if you’re a striker, get across your defender and into the box; if you’re a midfielder, can you pass forwards and break the lines; if you’re a central defender, can you stop the opposition’s crosses?

I pushed about having a striker coach in my column last week and I heard Dyche’s response to the media and how he doesn’t need it but my counter-argument would be I remember hearing stories about Romario at PSV and there was also a guy who came into Everton and talked about the book he’d written about him, he was one of the most prolific strikers in the history of modern football and he had his own striker coach. If a player of that ability felt he needed his own striker coach, why not us?

He was a pure striker and with that repetition, finishing came naturally to him. But when we had fantastic moments to score against Manchester City and Chelsea, we chose the wrong options because we’re not used to being in those situations and the players are letting themselves down by making bad choices.

If there was a pattern of play in their heads beforehand, it would help to guide the players a bit more. We can’t just be playing for set-pieces, especially while Dwight McNeil is out of the side, as we haven’t looked dangerous at all.

Dyche’ side need to sniff out goals and it’s all about being repetitive and where to be to score goals. The easiest thing in football is to defend and defend as a unit but trying to play on the front foot, you’ve got to have more ideas, you can’t just have your Plan A.

Our Plan A that we’re using at the moment seems to be getting the ball out to the full-backs and knocking the ball down the line. Whether you’ve got Calvert-Lewin or Armando Broja up front, that brings your striker away from the danger zone.

It’s the opposite of what Ancelotti told Calvert-Lewin to do and stay in the 18-yard box as it’s the danger zone. We’re putting our strikers away from danger and it makes it easier for the opposition to defend and it’s too predictable.

Yes, Dyche is trying to be the bigger person and say he’s got the credentials to coach with his UEFA pro licence but he’s proving to each and every Evertonian plus The Friedkin Group that they have a major decision to make about the future of the club. We want to be entertained, and if you can’t do that, at least win football games, and he’s not doing either.

That’s down to him and his coaching staff. They need help, bring somebody in.

Arsenal have a set-piece coach, while other teams have brought in throw-in coaches. You need help in every department of football these days, that’s why you have analysts, that’s why you have dieticians, that’s why you have club doctors, to try and get that extra few percent out of the players to perform.

The last couple of games have shown that we’ve failed to go at teams and try and win a football match. We’re failing in all departments.

I know Dyche must have had a shock losing 3-2 to Bournemouth and Aston Villa after being 2-0 up in both in consecutive matches earlier in the season, but it feels like he’s doubled down now and gone far too negative and forgotten that the ambition of every matchday should be to try and win a game of football.
