Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand has been discussing Everton’s Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The Toffees are struggling this season. They’re right in the midst of a relegation battle, and if things don’t improve soon, they could be in some serious trouble.

However, luckily for the Toffees, Ferdinand believes that they have enough to get out of the mess they’re in, claiming that the Merseyside club should have a chance in every game when Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are playing.

What’s Ferdinand said?

The pundit gave his view on the Everton attack.

“When you have a front two that consists of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin you have a chance in every game mate, because those two are both very different, but they pose big problems,” Ferdinand said.

More than good enough

As Ferdinand says, Everton are more than good enough to get themselves out of trouble.

The pundit highlights their front two, but just look at their entire squad.

Dele Alli and Donny Van de Beek were seen as two of the brightest young talents in Europe at one point, while Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Andros Townsend are all England internationals.

Things aren’t looking good for the Toffees right now, but things could turn around very quickly.
