Sean Dyche walks towards the tunnel after Everton's 4-0 hammering at Manchester United
Sean Dyche said the questions were for him and not the Everton supporters after his side was hammered by Manchester United. The Blues boss turned to the away end at Old Trafford and applauded when the final whistle ended a chastening 4-0 defeat that had been mired by mistakes.
He was greeted with a sea of empty seats, however, with the section containing the travelling Evertonians having almost completely cleared by the midway point of the second half.
Asked by the ECHO whether he understood why so many fans had left the game before it had finished, Dyche said: “I never have questioned our fans.”

The Blues continued: “I have never questioned our fans, never once. I certainly wouldn’t. They were here again today in good voice, they want to support the team, but they want to support a team that can win and we haven't won and it is as simple as that.
“So therefore, I have no question about fans. It is a question on me, myself, my staff, the team and how we can correct things further and we can go further with this thing. They are the questions but never on the fans.”
