Everton great Peter Reid feels standards are slipping at Goodison Park.

Saturday's 2-1 win at Southampton was their first away from home in the Premier League since March.

Reid told the Guardian: “It is a struggle. I was at the Man City game recently and some people were clapping. We got beat 3-1. Standards have slipped.

“Manchester City are an excellent side with a great manager but when people are happy with a 3-1 defeat at home it shows you where we are.

“It's not good enough for a great football club. I'm not blaming anyone. It is a fact, and I want us to improve. We have to improve.

“The FA Cup we won in '84 was the catalyst for us. We need some silverware. I would settle for a League Cup or FA Cup at this moment in time.

“We are not going to win the league but winning a cup might get us on that journey."
