Everton boss Frank Lampard says they're seeking to improve their "cutting edge" against Crystal Palace today.
Writing in his match programme notes, Lampard stated: "We're looking forward to being back at Goodison today after two tough games on the road against very good sides, both of which ended in frustration.
"Today is a fantastic opportunity for us to respond, to show bravery and confidence in ourselves to produce a performance that can get that good feeling back again.
"I've said before that this season was never going to be plain sailing and, from the outside, we weren't given much of a chance in any of our past three games. But I have seen enough signs - clear signs - in the early parts of the season that tell me we're going in the right direction so we're naturally disappointed we couldn't convert good parts of our performances into points.
"With that said, we are in the phase of this building process that is going to require patience, as we continue to build connections throughout the team and repeat our ideas until the point of becoming second nature.
"The issue we must address, quickly, is improving our cutting edge and end product in the attacking third of the pitch. I've been pleased with our defensive solidity, on the whole, and, particularly against Spurs and Newcastle, we showed we can be comfortable in possession, move it well in tight areas and play through the opposition's midfield lines.
"But that needs to lead to us creating chances and scoring."
