Everton hero Thomas Gravesen has urged fans to be patient with the current team.

After victory over West Ham, Gravesen hopes that better times lie ahead.

He told the Liverpool Echo: “I think we're a team that's still in transition, and that people need to be patient.

“We have a good manager and I'm sure he'll get it right. It doesn't always come together overnight.

“There are a lot of very talented players at the club right now – an awful lot, it's just about getting the balance right.

“Of course, the fact that Liverpool are doing so well makes it more difficult for the Everton supporters, but I really do think patience is the key.

“For me the one player that stands out is Richarlison. He's a match-winner, he can change games, and I think he can do even more. He can drive this team forward and bring everyone together."
