Jamie Carragher slams Everton's woeful display against Spurs

Jamie Carragher says Everton are in danger of being relegated to the Championship after their 5-0 defeat against Tottenham on Monday.

The Toffees booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last week by seeing off Boreham Wood, but their league form under new manager Frank Lampard has been concerning.

Everton have now lost four of their opening five top-flight matches since the former Chelsea midfielder took over, and they were torn apart by Spurs, leading to Carragher delivering a damning assessment of the Everton squad. 

He said: 'Whenever you see teams who are worst in the league away from home, the first thing that comes to mind is they're weak and soft. That can never be Everton.  

'I said that back four is Championship level but for Everton not to be physical, aggressive, making it tough. That's what Everton have always been even when they've not been at the best.

'Fundamentally this group of players at this club is so weak now. The lack of athleticism in that Everton team is frightening. 

'Allan can't run, Donny van de Beek can't run. Harry Kane for one of the goals runs past Michael Keane. Harry Kane is not sprint champion. People just running off [Seamus] Coleman. They're weak physically which is a problem for them right now.'

One positive for Everton is that eight of their remaining 13 games are at Goodison Park.

Carragher, though fears Everton are in danger of being relegated if they don't win their next two games at home against Wolves and Newcastle.

He said: 'If their next two home games don't go well they've got massive problems. 

'With what's going on behind the scenes, what's going on with the stadium, teetering around financial fair play which was why they couldn't bring in new players last
