Michael Keane has called on Everton to harness the power of Goodison Park again when they host Leeds United in a “huge game” on Saturday but insists the team are still confident that “the only way is up” under Frank Lampard.
A 3-1 defeat against a Newcastle United side who went into the game second-bottom of the Premier League table cut the gap between the Blues and the Magpies to just a single point.
However, after new manager Lampard enjoyed a rousing welcome from the Goodison crowd in his first match as Brentford were despatched 4-1 in the FA Cup fourth round, Keane is hoping that Everton can benefit from another passionate home crowd as they go in search of some desperately-needed points.
