Tony Bellew makes brilliant point about why Everton are struggling at the Hill Dickinson Stadium

Here is a rephrased version of the text, with a slightly more journalistic and fluid style:

Everton’s form at the Hill Dickinson Stadium has been a major concern this season. While David Moyes has set his sights on securing European qualification, the team’s struggles on home soil are seriously undermining that ambition.

The Toffees are now without a win in six league games at their new ground, with their last victory coming back at the start of December against Nottingham Forest.

In light of this slump, Tony Bellew has offered a compelling explanation for their home difficulties—and his analysis is hard to argue with.

The former boxer believes the problem lies not with the Everton players, but with the opposition. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Bellew suggested that the 52,000-capacity stadium is so impressive and welcoming that visiting teams are actually enjoying the experience a little too much.

“I agree the home form hasn’t been great, but we’re still picking up points and climbing the table,” Bellew said. “The home form will turn—it always does with new stadiums in the first couple of seasons. I don’t think it’s about the atmosphere. I just think it’s such a beautiful place that away teams come here and think, ‘I really like this.’ And they’re enjoying themselves a bit too much. That will change eventually, but for now, Everton are still flying high.”

He added that teams are appreciating the spacious surroundings, modern facilities, and a less intimidating environment than the one Goodison Park was famous for. While Goodison may have seen a dip in form in recent years, it could still rise to the occasion when it mattered most—against the likes of Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and in the final Merseyside derby. That old ground still had the power to get under the skin of the opposition.

Now, attention turns to tonight’s visit of Manchester United. A win for Moyes’ side would see them draw level on points with seventh-placed Brentford, adding significant weight to the occasion.

With form at the Hill Dickinson Stadium under the microscope and memories of the recent 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth still fresh, the home faithful will be expecting a response.
