Monday night saw Everton see out a goalless draw against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Following the game, the pundits on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football discussed how Everton can start to progress.
Jamie Carragher and former Everton striker Kevin Campbell both agreed that European football is the next big step for the club.
Under Carlo Ancelotti, this has been one of the big ambitions for the future after his appointment.
During the discussion, the pair agreed that Ancelotti is more than the right man to bring European football to the club.
However, one of the key highlights of their analysis was the clubs record in previous years in Europe…
As Carragher states, Everton have always been seen as a top 8 club which is something to be proud of in this league.
The difference this time, however, needs to be there approach and effors in Europe if they are to qualify again.
Previous spells in the Europa League have been met with disappointment and poor form – which needs to change next time around.
If the Toffees manage to qualify for Europe at the end of the season, then Ancelotti staying in charge is a key part of those aims for success.
Ensuring your form and place in Europe each season can be a major financial boost and allows the club to attract the best players.
The squad already has some real talent in it but form has been few and far between this season.
Everton must start to be more consistent with their results and that needs to change sooner rather than later.
