Everton slump doesn't matter - as long as they finish fifth
EVERTON'S slump in form shouldn't detract from what they have achieved this season.
And it only becomes a problem if they don't finish fifth.
But needing only one point from a home game against Newcastle on the final weekend while Aston Villa need to go to West Ham and win, is a scenario everyone would have taken at the start of the season.
In a football season you achieve what you achieve over 38 games.
If Everton had started the season like this, then were having the long unbeaten run from a couple of months ago at this stage, the supporters would be shouting from the rooftops now.
Flip the season round like that and it's a good season in anyone's book.
It doesn't matter if you win your first 20 games then don't win another one for the remainder of the campaign - 60 points is 60 points.
It's a cliché, but the Premier League is a marathon. It's where you finish that matters, not where you were at Tower Bridge.
