Roberto Martinez: 'Everton need full support in Merseyside derby'

Roberto Martinez says that Everton "need our fans more than ever" as they prepare for a pivotal week with the Merseyside derby and FA Cup semi-final in quick succession.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has called on the club's supporters to get fully behind the team in tomorrow night's Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield.

Martinez's men go into the match without a win in six Premier League games and some fans have called for the Spaniard's head in recent weeks with multiple banners.

With an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United at Wembley to follow on Saturday evening, Martinez has described it as a "defining week" and wants the supporters' full backing.

"Football is about results and I will never be stupid enough to look away from that aspect," PA quotes him as saying. "The first day I arrived I am the one who brought the expectations, I am the one who drives the hunger and desire to take Everton where we should be competing for silverware and playing attractive football.

"It is about the players enjoying their football and having clarity in what they do and making the fans proud. We need our fans more than ever and need to fight every action on the pitch together.

"It is not about the manager, that is the least of my worries."

Everton head to Anfield having not won at the home of their near-neighbours since September 1999.
