Finishing fifth will be a great achievement for Everton
AS it was at the start of the season, Everton will do well to finish fifth this season.
It was true right at the start of the campaign, it was true when we were hitting the heights and it is true now.
To finish top of the 'other' Premier League is a creditable achievement.
For all those Everton fans on Thursday night who claimed they weren't going to renew season tickets next season, who believed David Moyes must go and who said what they were seeing wasn't good enough, I would just ask to cast their minds back six weeks when the vast majority were saying how good it was to be an Evertonian.
It's true that the team is not playing with confidence or fluency at present, and it shouldn't be forgotten that the team on Thursday night was without three of its most creative talents.
But it has still been a progressive season. I just hope that come the summer, the struggles we are enduring at present are foremost in everyone's minds when it comes to financing a squad development programme . . . a programme I hope is already in the process of being planned.
