​Coleman says Sheffield Utd win can restore Everton confidence

Seamus Coleman believes that Sheffield United is the best chance for Everton to get their season back on track.

The Blues face off against the newly promoted side off the back of a disappointing loss to Bournemouth.

The consistency necessary to grab a top four or top six finish is still eluding Everton.

But Coleman thinks they can start with a win against Sheffield and go from there.

"We have to make sure we retain our confidence from our home form and try to make amends [following Bournemouth] against Sheffield United and go on from there," Coleman told evertontv.

"When you put on the Everton shirt – whether you are old or young – you have to take responsibility, to be brave and look for the ball at all times and help your teammates.

"Not many of us could hold our heads high coming off the pitch [on Sunday] and that's the truth.

"Our home form is good but away from home at the minute it is disappointing and something we need to put right very fast if we want to be better this season.

"We have to go into the Sheffield United game… and hopefully get three points and move forward and try to put it right."
