Howard Kendall: Everton FC must keep fighting for European place
IT'S BEEN a tough week for Everton with back to back defeats, but there is still plenty to play for this season.[LNB]Of course going out of Europe was a big blow and the defeat at Spurs has damaged hopes of qualifying for next season's competition.[LNB]But there are 33 points up for grabs and the players have got to focus on putting together another winning run.[LNB]You have to take it game by game and try to put pressure on the teams above.[LNB]Sunday's game at home to Hull is the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways.[LNB]When we played them at home last season I thought they were the worst Premier League side I'd seen. They only just stayed up and have struggled again this season.[LNB]Hull will get men behind the ball and make it difficult but the Blues should have too much for them.[LNB]Our home form has been excellent and we need to play with the same intensity we showed against Chelsea and Manchester United.[LNB]It's easy to lift yourself against the big clubs but we have to do it against teams at the bottom.[LNB]Going to Spurs was always going to be tough as with the likes of Luka Modric they have real quality.
