Everton boss Frank Lampard says he's right behind Dele Alli.

The midfielder has been heavily criticised since his January arrival from Tottenham.

Asked what Alli needs to do to play a bigger part in his plans, Lampard said: “Train well, stay focused and show me in training – as all the players have to – that he is ready to play.

"And I know that is not always easy as a player because players like to play games but we are in a position now where every game is crucial and how we prepare and how we go into games is what I see and what I select of.

"So he just has to do that."
