Truth is that Everton have performed well this season and if not for financial fair play point deduction, the club side will be battling for an Europa league spot at this stage of the Campaignl
Even with those 10 points, they would currently be at 12th place in the league table, so pretty far from Europa League.
They have fairly good defence with only 28 goals lost, but they have no attacking power and that's their main problem. They need to take more risks and and aim for wins not draws. Their current position is not pretty, they have only 1 point advantage over Luton, but Luton have one less game played and they will be highly motivated to escape from the red zone.
Burnley and Sheffield are already doomed.
