Everton will be hoping for a big reaction next week when they return from the international break against Aston Villa.

Sean Dyche‘s have made a dreadful start in the Premier League with three defeats from three games.

And the last game saw Everton lose in humiliating fashion against Bournemouth after their two-goal lead came undone over the final minutes.

The international break will provide the players with an opportunity to reset as they sit rock bottom of the table on zero points.

Everton are already under real pressure with some pundits worried about the months ahead after their dreadful start to the campaign.

But there has now been an insight provided to what the mood was actually like following the devastating defeat against Bournemouth.

Which Everton players spoke out in dressing room after Bournemouth loss

Just as the Toffees thought they were about to put their first points on the board, the Cherries were able to snatch them all away in the dying minutes.

At a time like this, Everton need to rely on their senior figures to pick the squad up ahead of their next game.

But it is not going to be an easy game by any means as they travel to the Champions League side Aston Villa next Saturday.

According to the Daily Mail, there were two senior figures at Everton who opened up the conversation in the changing room after the defeat on Saturday.

Insiders have claimed it was Seamus Coleman and James Tarkowski who were attempting to lift the sombre mood in the changing room.

The message from Dyche after the game was simply that was three points that should not have slipped away from the Toffees.

And some of the senior figures in the dressing room believed there was a real lack of doing the basics correctly in the final stages of the game.

Everton need a statement performance against Aston Villa

There will not be many Everton fans who will be expecting three points to come from the next game against Villa.

Unai Emery’s side have made a bright start to the campaign following what was a brilliant 2023/24 season.

Although three points may be a huge ask for this Everton side on Saturday, a big performance against a side of that quality could go a long way.

And going into their following game against Leicester City on the back of a solid showing could be the boost they need to get their season up and running.
