Crystal Palace interim boss Roy Hodgson has given his verdict on Everton's relegation situation.
The Toffees and the London outfit played out a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Palace are much further away from the relegation zone, while Sean Dyche's side are still in serious trouble.
Post-game, Hodgson told the ECHO: I am very sad to see Everton in the position they're in at the moment but I think since Sean Dyche's arrival, the way he's gone about trying to put things right I feel more confident.
I think Frank (Lampard) was dealt a terrible hand to be honest with you.
I think for Frank... I don't even think it would be possible with his football philosophy and the way he wants to play to get what Sean Dyche has got out of the players.
In my humble view, it was a move that has worked well for the club but I do think the club has got a lot of things to still sort out and I would desperately like them to sort those things out.
If you ask me would I be happy to see Everton survive, I would, but then I've got to be careful because I don't really want to see any of the ones who are down at the bottom go down. I've got contacts at Southampton and Leicester but somebody has got to go down.
The way Everton went about trying to get something from the game today has got to be a credit to Sean Dyche and the club I suppose for realising, 'we need a Sean Dyche to get us sorted out'."
