Breaking News: Everton has finally confirm the sudden departure of they manager…
Sean Dyche said he will continue to do what he can to take on the “challenges” posed to him by an Everton side that has endured a tough start to the season.
The Blues were unable to find a way through a Brentford side that was pointless on the road before visiting Goodison Park and faced almost an hour with 10 men after Christian Norgaard’s first-half red card.
The draw extended Everton’s run to one defeat in eight Premier League games – but also represented a missed opportunity to improve on the record of just two wins in what have now been 12 matches.

The final whistle was greeted with boos from some sections of the home crowd, with Everton now sitting precariously above the bottom three with a daunting set of approaching fixtures.
The position of Dyche, who has twice led the club to survival against a backdrop of off-the-pitch crises, is not thought to be under imminent threat as the club continues through a takeover process it is hoped will bring stability after years of turbulence.
After the Brentford game, the focus was on the struggles on the pitch, and Dyche’s responsibility for them and the search for solutions, issues which were among the questions posed by the ECHO and other reporters in the post-match press conference. Here are the answers to those questions asked by the ECHO, in full.
No, because we didn’t win it. I thought in the first half we played well, I thought we did better against 11, the dynamic changed with 10, you are playing against a block defense, which is always difficult, and I thought they did well at that and we couldn’t find the moments, the key moments. There was lots of effort, lots of shots and stuff, but there were not really killer moments. I think it’s been something I’ve talked about endlessly since I’ve been in the club, and before I’ve been at the club.
