Seamus Coleman believes last season’s narrow escape from relegation can have a positive effect on Everton and has told his team-mates what they must do to keep fans behind them.
Everton stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season, with a 3-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace in their penultimate game of the campaign enough to secure their top-flight status. The Blues had trailed 2-0 at the break at Goodison Park.
However, less than a year on and the Blues are once again mired in another battle to avoid drop. Although Coleman’s goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leeds United did move his side out of the drop zone.
