Quotes corner
Manchester City's Rico Lewis: “There’s leaders in the dressing room that are natural leaders. They can speak, everyone listens and everyone agrees.
“But when it comes down to it, it’s not what is said in the changing room, it’s affecting the pitch and what we’re doing on the pitch. That’s what needs to be solved.
“Nobody is going onto the pitch saying ‘I’m not doing that’, or ‘I don’t want to win’. It’s difficult right now but we have to stick together.
“There’s different things to put your finger on but it’s just not right at the moment.”
Everton manager Sean Dyche: “They’ve enjoyed so much success under Pep (Guardiola) over the years that everybody seems to be under this impression that it’s when, not if, it turns back.
“I don’t know all of Pep’s history, but I think it’s unlikely he’s had too many spells like this.
“You’d think at some point it happens, even to the best, and he is arguably one of the best ever, but for him to have a testing period actually shows how tough the game is even for the top sides.
“The details, even for the top teams, if you don’t get them right, then things don’t work out for you. They’ll be trying to correct that.
“We’re in the progress of correcting somewhat what we were doing. We still need to win more games, obviously, and score more goals.
“It’s not like you go there and think, ‘We’re going to win just because’. We’ve got to go and deliver a performance. We’ve got to play hard, we’ve got to play strong.
“They haven’t all become terrible players overnight. He certainly is not a terrible manager.
“You’ve got to be guarded, but we’ve got to equally believe in what we’re doing and the strength of our performances.
“We’ve got to have all the tactical discipline we’ve been showing and forge as many chances as we can to win it.”
