The Jury: Everton fans give their view on the Blues' recent dip in form

LEE MOLTON, St HelensIT'S been a tough week for Evertonians with three games in six days and a lot of travelling too. The Benfica trip was enjoyable with plenty of Everton songs and beers in the main square in Lisbon in the afternoon. The game was one to forget though. The Blues have a chance next week to avenge this result and get the three points they need to stay in contention in the group.The cup game at Tottenham was disappointing too with Everton looking shaky at the back again. They are clearly missing creativity too with a lot of our attacking midfielders unavailable at the moment. We have a tough November ahead and we need to get back to winning ways as quickly as possible.We need to forget the injuries and pull together now for a tough home game against Villa on Saturday. A win will lift some of the gloom.DAVID WALLBANK, HuytonTHREE straight defeats to Benfica, Bolton and Spurs, add to that the 10 goals conceded and it's obvious Everton are in freefall. A cruel injury list is mainly to blame for the current plight, but certain players in my opinion have let the club's fans down.Now it's difficult to single out individuals, and after leaking goals for fun you might want to blame the keeper? But Tim Howard hasn't really done anything wrong. You could blame the players put out of position like Hibbert and Cahill? But if you look at each goal conceded you can't help but want to blame Sylvain Distin!Distin is 31 and shows no signs of improvement. His Bambi-on-ice performances have proven my friends from Man City correct, who all warned me that he was awful. I will wait to be gladly proven wrong, but I feel I will be waiting a very long time.
