Everton supporters are keen to see Davy Klaassen given a chance before the end of the season.

Everton fans have been left less than impressed by Sam Allardyce’s explanation over why he won’t pick Davy Klaassen.

Everton brought in Klaassen for a big fee last summer, but the midfielder has barely been given a chance this season.

The former Ajax man initially struggled to impress at Goodison Park, and Allardyce has almost completely excluded him.

Everton fans have been desperate to see the Dutchman in action, but Allardyce has ignored the calls to start the midfielder.

And his latest explanation has not gone down well with Everton fans.

Allardyce said: “Davy Klaassen is still an ­anomaly to me. Will he or won’t he? If I had the opportunity to play him I would, but I haven’t because I’ve got to win. So, I don’t have the luxury of saying, ‘Go on, give it a go lad,’ ­because if we lose, it’s me who gets the stick.”

Everton supporters, though, feel that Allardyce’s comments do not add up, as they have not been watching a winning side without Klaassen in the team.

Everton’s latest match finished as a 0-0 draw with Liverpool, in what was a tame Merseyside derby.

The Toffees are currently sat in ninth place in the Premier League table, with their season threatening to peter out.
