Are Everton getting enough credit?

The team on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club have questioned if the Toffees have flown under the radar this season given they now sit sixth in the Premier League.

Ex-Premier League goalkeeper Joe Hart focused on manager David Moyes and said: "He is an excellent manager in our league, a real safe pair of hands. He is exactly how he is advertised and has been his whole career. That is a high-quality Premier League manager who understands how important it is to stay in games and capitalise when you get those moments."

Host Mark Chapman questioned if the media give Everton enough credit.

The Observer's Rory Smith listed all of the issues the Toffees have faces this season, from missed transfers to ownership uncertainty.

Smith said: "When Everton do go on these runs, we do tend to assume it will be short lived or they'll fall away or something. Given everything they have dealt with, the players deserve credit but Moyes is the talisman for it.

"There has been a real negativity around Everton at the same time that results on the pitch have been genuinely astonishing. Their season has been remarkable."
