Everton manager Sean Dyche has lifted the lid on his team's tough start to the season.
The Toffees have lost their first three Premier League games of the season this month.
As Dyche looks to add to his team in the transfer window, he admits they must get in more players to ensure they have enough quality to stay up.
Asked about the difficulties of getting in players, especially forwards, Dyche told reporters: The thing I've always tried to manage is reality. When I came here, it was made clear this is likely to be how this pans out over the coming months, so that's the reality.
I can't manage a non-reality. People have said to me, Evertonians, 'why haven't you signed two strikers?' and have said it in that way like I've not wanted to sign them.
I do find that a bit odd. I've never known a manager that doesn't want to sign strikers. Trust me, I don't know any at any level.
It's fair to say that I do want to sign strikers but they have to be ones that can actually affect what we're doing and the deal has to work. Someone was asking the other day about Youssef, it actually worked I'm not going to go into the details because it's private but it actually works over how we can construct a deal.
So it doesn't mean you can't do another deal, it means we've got to construct them in a way that can work."
