Everton boss Ronald Koeman retains the confidence of majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

The beleaguered boss may be under fire from sections of the Everton fanbase but still has the backing of the man calling the shots, Moshiri.

Koeman said: "We're in a bad moment - but we have played three of the four title contenders away.

"[Burnley] was the only unexpected loss. The four pre-qualifying UEFA games and two group games on Thursdays haven't helped. There is mental fatigue and seven injuries.

"These are early days and Koeman has my total support. We have great fans they deserve better. We know the honest and objective expectations of our supporters and will not let them down."
