Everton's 1-0 victory against Arsenal this month certainly instilled some hope into fans after a run of four consecutive home defeats - but their loss to Liverpool was the wake up call that their relegation fight is far from over.
New manager Sean Dyche will have been encouraged by that first win over the Gunners but he wants much more than a side who can spring a surprise shock - and is building up to creating a side who are seen as a regular threat.
He's started making the necessary steps to transform the Toffees and steer them clear of danger - redefining the culture at Everton, setting training rules, increasing the team's fitness, reconstructing their press and giving the squad license to play with freedom.
