Given their three-week hiatus after the Merseyside derby was postponed, Everton has made the trip to Portugal in a last-ditch attempt to gain some confidence.
This is a club in collapse, struggling dangerously close to the bottom three and without a Premier League victory since December.
They are doing everything correctly, though, they just lack the decisiveness needed to seize opportunities and defeat opponents.
With one man expected to return from injury shortly, perhaps they might address those unresolved issues.
Sean Dyche’s remarks regarding Arnaut Danjuma
It is not shocking that they are still without one or two stars even after witnessing players like Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucuore make victorious returns because they have been plagued by injuries throughout this campaign at crucial moments.
These were important players who quickly returned to the club, but even if he hasn’t had many opportunities in the first team, he is still a vital absence.
on an interview with Everton’s official YouTube channel, Sean Dyche identified the one player they were forced to part ways with on Merseyside so he could focus on returning to health on his own.
Arnaut Danjuma has been sidelined since he was sent off against Fulham in January, but his recuperation is slipping farther behind schedule.
In any case, it’s believed that excluding him from the Portugal trip will give him the time and space he needs to make a determined effort to return.
Arnaut has stayed back, but for good reason, according to Dyche, as he receives one-on-one attention and is progressing there. As a result, he has a solid buy-in to get those extra training days in and the particular he required there, and he’s going well.
When Arnaut Danjuma returns from injury, Everton needs him to start.
There’s no doubting that Everton needs some newfound momentum when it’s fit.
Ultimately, despite their skills and flexibility in Dyche’s system, the team’s play has become clumsy due to its poor offensive performance.
Even while they are major contributors to this egregious waste, they are also hindered by their inability to complete tasks in other areas.
Therefore, it could be wise for them to bench Jack Harrison or Dwight McNeil in favor of a more potent goal scorer, as opposed to the manager’s continued preference for a slower, more inventive approach.
Less than two years after joining Villarreal for £21 million, Danjuma has tallied 16 goals and four assists, making him one of Europe’s most dangerous wide players when in form.
Given that he could perform no worse than those now in front of him, he is definitely worth a shot.
