Tarkowski On Great Everton 'Belief'

James Tarkowski is confident Everton will head into the two final crucial matches of the campaign with "great belief" - and also be boosted by knowing their destiny lies in their own hands. 

The Blues travel to Wolves this Saturday (kick-off 3pm BST) looking to bounce back from Sunday’s defeat against leaders Manchester City. 

Sean Dyche’s men made a positive start to that contest at Goodison and restricted the treble-chasing visitors to few chances early on. However, a quick-fire double late in the first half, compounded by a third early in the second period, sealed the points for Pep Guardiola’s men. 

Despite the defeat, though, Tarkowski says Everton haven’t dwelt on the result, instead taking the positives and quickly looking ahead to this weekend’s clash at Molineux.

“It was a tough day but there were a lot of positives to take,” the centre-back explained when reflecting on Sunday. “The fans saw that which is why they reacted the way they did. We’d just been beaten at home, it’s not nice but there were a lot of people left clapping us off and we’re going to need them across the final two games.

“They saw the attitude, even in the 95th minute, Alex Iwobi sprinting across the pitch pressing. Patto (Nathan Patterson) in the corner winning the tackle. We won’t let the City result knock us back. The fans saw the attitude and desire within the players to keep doing their job no matter the score. 

“We will need that support from the fans for the next two games, too.”

DYCHE'S VERDICT ON MAN CITY LOSS

Blues boss speaks to evertontv following Goodison encounter.


Everton head to Wolves having lost just one of their past six Premier League away matches, with the recent battling 2-2 draw at Leicester City followed up with a stunning 5-1 win at Brighton last week. 

Another big three points this weekend in the West Midlands could see the Blues secure their Premier League survival ahead of the final game of the season - should Leeds United and Leicester City lose on Sunday and Monday respectively. 

Tarkowski and his teammates won’t be looking that far ahead, though. Instead, the collective focus is to make sure Everton take care of their own business and produce the same level of performance that has helped deliver vital points in recent matches, allowing them to keep their destiny in their own hands. 

“We need more of that (impressive recent displays)," added Tarkowski. "We have a good spirit in the group. Everyone, playing or not, all noses are pointing in the same direction. We want the best for this team and this club. 

“We have great belief in ourselves. After the performance at Brighton and even against Manchester City. I know we lost the game, but there were positives to take. 

“It’s in our own hands so it’s about going out and performing this week.”
