Everton's squad have been given a stark warning about the future by boss Sean Dyche.
The veteran coach is fully aware of what relegation means for the Toffees going forward.
The club are in the relegation zone and only have three games to save their skins.
The next four games not only affect people's futures but people's lives and livelihoods," said Dyche to reporters.
That is football. That is the challenge. It is right there in front of your eyes."
Motivation does not win games," Dyche added.
Performance wins games. Motivation adds to the performance, of course. We have shown enough that we can win games. It is piecing it together at the right times.
The key moments are in the games. Things around that in the departments still need to be done. Otherwise you are just putting a sticking plaster on something."
