Everton fans have shown solidarity with Leighton Baines ahead of today’s clash with Watford.
Roberto Martinez claimed the England international had ‘apologised’ for publicly stating that the current Blues squad lacked chemistry in the wake of last weekend’s defeat at Manchester United.
Former Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe was one of many to come out in support of the Kirkby-born defender’s comments.
And travelling Evertonians have paid tribute to Baines by unfurling a banner hailing him ‘one of us’ at Vicarage Road.
In another move that reflects the mood currently among the Goodison Park crowd towards Martinez, one supporter displayed a banner emblazoned with the words ‘Martinez Out’.
