da cassino: Everton manager Roberto Martinez has urged his side to repay the fans’ faith by winning this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final, after the travelling support witnessed their team being humiliated by Liverpool last night.
da marjack bet: The Toffees have tailed off in recent weeks and the Spaniard’s position has been under threat as a result, with the latest 4-0 defeat not instilling much confidence for the future.
Everton were second best to their cross-city rivals for the entirety of the clash at Anfield, with the club’s fans making their disdain for the performance felt.
Martinez has apologised for the showing that the Goodison Park faithful had to witness and has pledged to put in a better showing against Manchester United this weekend.
“It wasn’t good enough. It was a horrible, horrible night. Nobody deserved to experience that,” The Liverpool Echo quote the coach as saying.
“No fan or player deserved to be in that situation. Nobody representing Everton deserved to be in that chain of events.
“But we have to move on quickly and repay our fans with a proper, proper performance and proper showing in the semi-final. We shouldn’t dwell on this game too much.
“It was a horrible, horrible showing. There was an inability to do the basics or look like we wanted to participate in a big football match.
“The top and bottom is we didn’t cope with the emotions and didn’t deal with it. Saturday is so huge we don’t need any motivation now.
“There’s a feeling of embarrassment. We shouldn’t put on show like this.”
With the club’s ambitions of finishing in the top four not being anywhere close to achieved, winning the FA Cup would be the tonic to revive Everton’s campaign.
If they can beat United at Wembley, the Merseysiders will face either Crystal Palace or Watford in the final.
