Everton boss Sean Dyche admits confidence remains an issue after today's 2-2 draw at Sheffield Unted.

The result was a first point for both teams this season.

Dyche said, "The hardest thing in the world as a coach is to make players execute the final moment, that's the hardest thing of all," explained Dyche. "We're getting into the right areas, getting bodies in the right areas, we were good on transition today, good on the ball today, affecting them, shifting their shape, getting into good areas... The final moment is about giving them belief, letting them play and going to explore what it is to score goals because it will come. We got two today.

"We've created a lot of chances, with good quality and we're doing that more and more but, equally, while you're doing that, the back has to be kept firm and well and truly closed.

"We got done on what were pretty basic details, in my view, so we'll work on that with the players as much as anything."

Dyche added: "It was good for Arnie [Danjuma] to get his first league goal. It was Beto's first full game today as well - he worked hard and he's a good player. He's got a real rawness and an edge to his game. I think he'll improve over time.

"After the break we'll get other people fit as well. There is a lot to look forward to."
