Everton boss Sean Dyche says it's time for their attacking players to start taking responsibility.

Dyche was left frustrated after their 3-1 home defeat to West Ham on Saturday.

"I try to tell the truth about the performances," explained Dyche to evertontv. "It is a decent performance. It's a performance that can win games, but you can't keep creating [those chances and not winning]. I can't keep saying the xG is through the roof. I can't keep saying that.

"The chances - they're there for all to see. It's about time we took responsibility and got players scoring goals. That's down to myself, and the coaches, but also the players on the pitch.

"It's just a strange thing at Goodison and I can't work it out. I'd love to be out there to score. I've seen this place erupt and I've felt it. Why would you not want to have the clarity to go to score a goal?

"That's what we have to change - that mindset because we had so many chances again today. It's alright people saying about how their keeper had a worldie and all that, but there are too many keepers coming here who have apparently had worldies. There's been too many times we've missed that many chances.

"And in the Premier League, if you don't take your chances, you don't kill games off. We had the chances today, at 1-0, to kill the game off, and we didn't do that."

Dyche continued: "I can't keep saying it every week. At the end of the day, we've created so many chances today, and we're creating good chances. Chances to kill games off. That's when we go: 'Right, come on now, lads. It's a responsibility of ours'. As managers and coaches, we can only get them into position, and that's the moment of truth. That's the clarity we need now, because there are so many chances.

"I wouldn't have a single complaint if I was an attacking player at this football club because there are so many chances created, but we have to take them."
