Deputy Editor of Opta Patric Ridge joined BBC Radio Merseyside's to discuss the 0-0 draw at West Ham.

"At the minute I am not sure that there is enough tactical nous and flair to get the best out of the attackers," said Ridge.

"On Saturday, there were some situations where the team got into good positions and couldn't find the final pass or that shot off at the right time and that is on the players."

Sean Dyche's side had 18 shots at goal at London Stadium, hitting the target with four of those attempts and failing to score.

"In attack there is so much more to give and that is where I want to see the improvement," added Ridge.

"However long Dyche is here, whether he is going to get a new contract or not, it is on him now to really try and find that little bit extra and prove he can do it."

Everton have just 10 goals across their opening ten games of the season, with only Manchester United (nine), Crystal Palace (eight) and Southampton (seven) scoring fewer.
