he said. &#8216;I saw them against Aston Villa where they were second best but apart from that they have created chances, they have got results that they would have liked and they could have easily got more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If their form continues I don&#8217;t see a problem for them and they can maybe use this and galvanise them and their group and spirit if they think they have been wrongly dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If I am an Everton fan I would not be too worried about their performances so far, 10 points will hurt them but if they are the rules you have to expect everyone to be dealt with like that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/23\/19\/78172773-12785165-image-a-46_1700768715760.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Sheffield United boss believes Sean Dyche&#8217;s team will be safe despite the 10-point penalty<\/p>\n<p>Everton feel the punishment handed down to them last week was &#8216;unjust&#8217;
