Neville Southall today advised Everton’s struggling stars: “Just be a Scouser and we will be fine.”
The Blues hero said it was important for the club to be positive and look ahead to the remaining nine games rather than at previous results. Confident Frank Lampard's squad has enough ability to stay up, he told the players they needed to display the ‘passion and desire’ shown by the supporters.
Southall also said he believed Jordan Pickford, handed the captain's armband in the defeat at Burnley on Wednesday, was the subject of a "witch hunt", and backed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to find form, before concluding the team needed to be more resilient because “at the moment we are a very nice bunch of players who are too easy to get beat”.
