Ryan – You may notice that I have not billed Everton as a definite top four side, simply as a threat to the top four and a team capable on their day of upsetting any of the top teams, as we proved last time out. You talk as if Man United will definitely improve and Everton will remain the same. Martinez has one season under his belt, an established philosophy, there is no reason why Everton can’t continue to improve with an established playing staff and a couple of new additions. There is no expectation that we will be a top four team, just an acknowledgement that Everton should be included in the conversation when it comes to the race for Champions League. Especially since Tottenham are mentioned more often than not.
and Tim – if you look at the last 5 years, Liverpool have only finished in the top four once and the only trophy they have claimed in that time is the Capital One Cup. In fact, they’ve regularly finished below Everton, yet they are still looked at as top four challengers every year.
