Everton manager Sean Dyche insists he is more concerned with the mentality shown by players in choosing to take a penalty in a shoot-out than he is by the style employed.<\/p>\n
The Toffees exited the Carabao Cup on spot-kicks for the fourth time in six years after Amadou Onana\u2019s weak, placed effort to put them through with their fifth and final regulation effort was saved by Fulham\u2019s Bernd Leno.<\/p>\n
Idrissa Gana Gueye hit the post in sudden death and Tosin Adarabioyo scored to send the Cottagers into their first League Cup semi-final 7-6 in the shoot-out, after Toffees substitute Beto\u2019s 82nd-minute equaliser had cancelled out Michael Keane\u2019s first-half own goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has a style of penalty which they think can score. His record has been very strong in all the rounds and when we\u2019ve practised them. That\u2019s his style,\u201d said Dyche of Onana\u2019s disappointing effort.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are brave enough to get up there and take one then you have to be brave enough for the consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first question is always who doesn\u2019t want to take one. Simple as that because you need to want to take one. I\u2019m pleased to say the whole group said they would take one.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the moment of truth: the ball\u2019s there, you have to put it in the net.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fulham offered little in the way of attacking threat \u2013 their only shot on target did not arrive until the 68th minute \u2013 but head coach Marco Silva was pleased with the way his side responded to conceding a late equaliser.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all delighted, no doubts about it,\u201d said the former Everton manager, who ended his old club\u2019s four-match winning run.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a huge moment from Bernd when he kept us in the game with the fifth penalty from Onana.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really delighted because it is not easy to keep the composure and quality in the penalty shoot-out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe achieved something the club never did in the past. We want more but we are really delighted for this evening and the moment we are living.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to play the semi-finals with the dream to play at Wembley.\u201d<\/p>\n
