Former Everton midfielder Thomas Gravesen is sorry to see his old club spiraling.

The Blues were thrashed by Liverpool 5-2 on Wednesday evening.

Gravesen told Sky Sports: “I'm sad because it's a fantastic club, a great club, and there's some great players at the moment. I don't know what it is that they can't make it work. It looks weird from where I'm sitting.

“Nobody can work under these circumstances. What they need is a couple of success stories, a couple of wins, a couple of good games, because they have the players for it.

“When you look on paper at the players Everton have, they're fantastic players. They just need to gel more.

“I don't think the manager needs to explain to players the tactics - all the players that are there are international players. They should know what football is about."
