With Everton now without a game until the end of the month, there is a chance to regroup at a training camp in Portugal.
Sean Dyche has already acknowledged that chances will need to be converted in the remaining games of the season.
It’s an obvious and ongoing problem. Some 23 shots against Manchester United but again no goals, and the Blues are still without a league win since December.
The performance at Old Trafford was generally good, but Dyche knows it is the “fine details” that make the difference. If you don’t score you don’t win.
A few days away could be a good thing.
A change of scenery can be useful psychologically, and a mixture of work and down time will hopefully give the players a reboot for the final 10 games of the season.
Starting with that away day at Bournemouth on 30 March.
