Everton 1-0 Chelsea: 'Pickford's saves have kept their dreams alive'
Everton fans showed their support before the match at Goodison Park
But in a season where Everton have not won away since August, the atmosphere once again dragged the team to new heights and underlined how big a role the fans will play. "The fans were the 12th man, they were the people of the match. The men, the women, the children that came and did that before the game, in the warm up, at the start of the game and also to get us over the line late in the game, was huge."
But he said it "definitely helped" and also highlighted how improving his side's away form would be a crucial factor in staying up, given they have trips to Leicester, Watford and Arsenal to come.Part of that may come from taking a harder approach with his players, which he admitted prior to only his fourth Premier League win in 13 games since he was appointed.
"You can keep telling the players to believe and there are other times where we're going, 'hang on, the demands are this'.
