Former Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall has called on the players of his old club to create a 'siege mentality' as they aim to avoid Premier League relegation.
The Blues dropped into the bottom three on Sunday after Burnley beat Wolves 1-0 at Turf Moor before they missed the chance to climb immediately back out of it by going down 2-0 at Liverpool.
However, the Merseyside derby defeat was not without controversy. Anthony Gordon went down in the Liverpool box under pressure from Joel Matip early in the second- alf but referee Stuart Attwell dismissed the penalty appeals and VAR did not deem it suitable for intervention and play continued.
