Sean Dyche did not think that Everton’s two consecutive victories affected their performance against Luton Town.
When he was hired, the Blues manager described a dressing room atmosphere that too drastically changed depending on the team’s performance.He rapidly saw that changing the mindset of his team members and players was a significant issue.
He gave the work priority because of how much “noise” was present around the club.
Eight months into his administration, he believes that progress has been achieved; he attributes the team’s inability to capitalize on the momentum brought about by victories against Brentford and Aston Villa to “the details” rather than the attitude of his players or their capacity to carry out his strategy.

In a May interview, Dyche talked about the club’s culture, where the mood of the team fluctuated based on performance. “When I walked in here, a big result, big everything, hit me instantly; a tough result, low everything,” he remarked. Internal modification was required. Our wonderful fans have the right to react in that way, but the atmosphere in which we operate and the flow of our daily activities needed to become more level and constant. ”
We’ve discussed it with the staff and players. It’s crucial to manage happy moments by resisting the temptation to assume that everything is resolved, correct, and suitable. Though it may be implied when I talk about cutting through the clutter, cutting through the clutter also applies when things are going well.
The unexpected victory against Brentford that opened the club’s Premier League season was a big lift for Everton. The team’s optimistic energy increased with the Carabao Cup victory against Villa a few days later, but it quickly died down after the team’s shocking home loss to Luton on Saturday
Speaking at Finch Farm prior to the Bournemouth match, Dyche said his team had gained a sense of perspective that prevented the emotions of the previous away victories from overshadowing the Luton performance. We had a great one at Brentford, he remarked. By looking at the response to the Wednesday game, I believe that was well-monitored. I think we handled that situation effectively, and the team went on to have a really open-minded performance against Villa with a change in tactics and a change in mentality. And I must admit, despite the poor outcome vs Luton, I don’t believe that was a player; I believed the performance’s delivery to be strong but the specifics to be lacking. “So I must say, just using that week as a viewpoint, I thought that was monitored better. I thought the idea of going really high was not the case, I thought everyone went ‘OK, we have got what we deserved out of Brentford, we have shown we can do that, now we have done it’ – a really good few days later, the change of five players, change of tactics, they went ‘let’s take this on as well’.
“I don’t believe that was necessarily not on display against Luton. If the goals are removed, I believe the actual performance was quite strong. The part of the game that we are continually striving to enhance till it becomes almost like a lifeblood where you “have” to win that game is that small edge that it is to keep that going, to build on it and really go boom and put that authority down.
Although it is really challenging, you can smell it on players when the desire to say, “Right, we are having this, we are taking this on again lads, every inch of us” is present. We arrive there only a little bit short, but it is the most crucial part.
When asked if he thought his players were more capable of observing what he called “real success” as opposed to being vulnerable to the emotional ups and downs that come with individual achievements, he responded, “It’s the toughest struggle because the noise here is continual.
