A number of Everton’s players are now away on international duty over the next week or so.
David Moyes has the opportunity to take stock following his first two months back on Merseyside, which has been a huge success.
The 61-year-old has been able to pull Everton’s struggles around in the Premier League having changed the story of their season.
Sean Dyche really struggled during the first half of the season to get a tune out his Everton side.
A former player has now slammed Dyche for some of the errors which he also showed during his time on Merseyside.
And the pile-on has continued with Jesper Lindstrom now sharing his frustrations under the 53-year-old.

Jesper Lindstrom shares latest Everton criticism of Sean Dyche
Dyche has recently poked fun at his Everton sacking just two months on from departing the Merseyside club.
But his struggles are there for all to see with Everton fearing relegation under the former manager.

Speaking to Sport TV 2, Lindstrom has now admitted that he’s noticed some significant differences between Moyes and Dyche.
“Moyes has given me faith in things, and it has given me freedom that we have won some games,” he said.
“We are allowed to play more now than before, where it was a lot of running, running and running. It suits me a little more now than before.
“I have been given a more free role at Everton. The coach, the staff, the sporting director and those around me believe in me and want me to succeed. That means a lot.”
Lindstrom has improved under Moyes, but he is now fighting for his spot in the starting XI.
The Denmark international found himself out of Moyes’ selection to start on the weekend against West Ham United, with some important months ahead of him.
Jesper Lindstrom needs to really impress Everton before the summer
Lindstrom would like to join Everton permanently in the summer, with his current loan deal set to expire at the end of the term.
He has struggled to really make his mark so far, with just one assist to his name in the Premier League.
The Dane will now have two Nations League quarter-finals to play over the coming days against Portugal, which could provide him an opportunity to find some form.

Lindstrom may actually be one of the first players back to Finch Farm from international duty with his final game being played on Sunday.
He has been handed regular minutes under Moyes, but his returns have left a lot to be desired.
Moyes has demanded more from Linstrom and he is going to have to show more if he is able to secure himself a permanent stay on Merseyside.
