Joe Royle believes Everton have a chance of winning silverware this season despite a poor run of form. Ronald Koeman’s side have struggled in recent weeks after an impressive start to the season.
However, the 67-year-old thinks Everton are well placed in the league table, and that they still have a chance to win a cup this season. Royle also believes Koeman will bring in players in the next transfer window to strengthen his squad to meet his objectives.
“I think they’ve made a fair start, the last two weeks haven’t been good after a terrific start, but they are in 7th position. I wouldn’t rule us out for a cup this year. I think he (Koeman) will be lining up players in the new year,” said Royle.
Everton haven’t won in their last two Premier League games, including a 5-0 demolition at the hands of Chelsea. Koeman’s team needed a last-minute goal to earn a draw against Swansea City last weekend and now face a difficult trip to Southampton on Sunday.
