Martinez warns Everton: Lift intensity or else

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has called for lift in intensity from the playing squad.

Everton meet Leicester City today.

"I want players performing well and enjoying their football, and if a player drops his standards, maybe he'll be left behind," he said.

"Every time you have a player performing well, the question is 'are you going to keep him?'

"And if he doesn't perform, it's 'who signed this player?' That was what happened at Wigan when I was manager there and it's the reality of modern football because money talks."
