LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Everton manager Ronald Koeman shrugged off questions over his future and defended his players commitment despite his team suffering a 1-0 home defeat by Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.

Everton, who have just two wins from their opening seven league games and are down in 16th place in the table, struggled to find any real fluency but the Dutchman said their attitude could not be questioned.
