Fans argue a team which boasts striker Romelu Lukaku, who has scored 19 goals already this season, former Barcelona prodigy Gerard Deulofeu, and England internationals Ross Barkley and John Stones should be doing much better.

Everton take on Carlisle United this afternoon in the fourth round of the FA Cup in a match that has the potential for a famous giant-killing; something Toffees manager Roberto Martinez will be desperate to avoid.
Everton’s season may well rest on their FA Cup hopes after they were knocked out of the League Cup by Manchester City at the semi-final stage in midweek, while they are 12th in the Premier League after a run of five games without a win.
“It wasn’t always a smooth ride under David Moyes”.
“But the club seems to remain loyal to a manager, to give him enough time, and I wouldn’t expect that to be different now” says Osman. We are reaching out to Evertonians and football fans everywhere to make whatever donation you can – the price of an extra pint or cup of coffee will contribute to make a difference and to help Carlisle United and the local community with their recovery efforts.
“We are getting close to getting back to the glory years”.
“And it shows how far we’ve come because for years we were labelled over-achievers”. “We have achieved this squad not having the blank cheque of B#500million, which other clubs have had to become a competitive team overnight”.
“We’ve not been as consistent as we’d have liked in the League”.
Everton have won just three of their last games in all competitions and following the tie with Carlisle, Martinez’s side welcome Newcastle United to Goodison on Wednesday night.
“But if we’d got to the Capital One final everything would have been going great and we were very unlucky at City with their second goal the way it was”.
This could be a classic end-to-end cup tie played on a pitch that has been underwater for a few weeks.
