Disgust is too strong a word for Anthony Gordon’s assessment of Everton’s plight but it is not far off.
Growing up next to Goodison Park, the 21-year-old feels the current crisis more than most. The early Frank Lampard bounce has disappeared with the club losing their last three Premier League games without scoring.
They face Wolves at Goodison on Sunday in deep relegation trouble while off the field they can no longer work with former commercial partner Alisher Usmanov, who has had his assets frozen.
Gordon’s focus is on the pitch, with Monday’s 5-0 defeat at Tottenham still fresh in the mind.
