Everton: Alan Pardew makes ‘desperate’ Sean Dyche admission live on air after West Ham loss
Everton manager Sean Dyche will be “desperate” for a win against Manchester United following the Toffees’ defeat to West Ham United, according to Alan Pardew.
Dyche’s side extended their winless run in the Premier League to 10 matches on Saturday (2 March) as they conceded two stoppage time goals to lose 3-1 to David Moyes’ Hammers at Goodison Park.
The defeat leaves the Toffees five points above the relegation zone, with a potential second point deduction on the way and Pardew thinks Dyche will do all that he can to get back to winning ways against Manchester United.
Speaking on talkSPORT on Sunday (3 March, 20:25) he said: “Everton have gone on a run, where they are desperate for a win now and they go to Manchester United. What a game that is going to be next weekend.
“Two managers who are desperate for a win.”
Will Everton get a second point deduction and be relegated this season?
After a positive week at Goodison Park which saw Everton jump out of the relegation zone thanks to their appeal against their 10-point deduction, Saturday’s result on Merseyside would have left a sour taste in supporters’ mouth.
The Toffees didn’t deserve to lose, but once again, they let themselves down as they threw away what could have been a very valuable point in their fight against relegation by conceding two late goals.
Pressure will be rising on Dyche, not in terms of his position, but from supporters and those above him at Goodison Park. The Englishman needs a win, but playing Manchester United at Old Trafford won’t be easy, especially as they’re also desperate for a win.
Hopefully, Everton can put an end to this terrible run of form against the Red Devils. Erik ten Hag’s side have also been more in recent weeks so the Toffees will certainly have a chance of pulling off an upset.
