Everton fan Peter McPartland says the Toffees are still "just about" in the hunt for Europe after their draw with Manchester City.
Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, he explained taking the fight for Europe to the final game of the season would be an achievement and opens up possibilities given their opponents Tottenham could be under immense pressure to stay in the Premier League.
"Let's get it to that last game of the season because if we can get seven points from the last three, then we've had a go," said McPartland. "Ultimately I think if we get seven points from the last three – I think that points tally, that's what a lot of people would've been asking for at the beginning of the season.
"It will be disappointing if we do miss out on Europe, but I don't think loads of people were talking about Europe at the beginning of the season. I think they were just talking about having a good season, nowhere near that relegation zone and, and having a good, first season at Hill Dickinson and just something to build on in the summer."
Everton felt harshly treated in the aftermath of Monday's thrilling draw with Manchester City, with fans citing frustrations over stoppage time and a potential second-half penalty as points of anguish.
McPartland however felt the performance was impressive and points to David Moyes getting plenty from the squad he has to work with.
"Moyes is not necessarily a miracle worker as such," he added in discussion with BBC Radio Merseyside.
"He's not going to make these players amazing. We've got to where we are this season with structure, not by having amazing footballers. You look at other teams and you think, 'oh, you know, this player's missing or that player's missing'.
"We don't have that one player where you go, 'wow, we're going to be absolutely terrible today', or 'we're not going to create anything because he's missing'.
"We just slot another player in and hope he can do the job, and generally they do.
"So it's more about the team. So I do find it strange when people go absolutely overboard about when you are playing defensively. I can understand the week before at West Ham when there's no real tempo and no real desire it seemed to go out and beat West Ham. That is on the manager, that is on the team to do that, but against City, I couldn't really understand that criticism."
