Jamie Carragher said that Thursday's game against Newcastle is the biggest in over 20 years for the club as they battle to stay in the league.
Despite their fourth consecutive defeat against Wolves on Sunday, they are still level on points with 17th-placeWatford, who have three games in hand.
The first of those games in hand is against a rejuvenated Newcastle side on Thursday night at Goodison Park and Carragher feels they desperately need a result in order to halt their slide.
He said on Monday Night Football that the two home games were built forEverton.
Goodison was the only way they could stay up.
They have lost the first one, so the one in Newcastle feels almost like their biggest game in 20 years.
It almost feels like that type of game because I don't think the people in charge of the club believe they will stay up, and if they don't win at home, they have no faith in getting anything away from home.
The last five or six games of the football club&s schedule are horrendous, and that makes Thursday&s game against the Tynesiders so important.
Gary said that he put them in the same boat. The pressure is enormous and they look flaky.
It is a massive club but I know a few people who are done with it.
There is a long way to go, but they are desperate at the moment. How do they turn it around? Who is going to lift them in that dressing room?

Since taking charge of the club at the end of January, FrankLampard has lost five of his six games in charge, but he believes the blame for their current situation lies with the players.
He said that the players have been an absolute disgrace.
You can talk about Frank coming in and about Rafa.
They are both completely different managers.
You can think that Frank is defensive, he sat off teams and allowed other teams to play, but he is completely different.
You looked at Rafa at Goodison and he didn't create an atmosphere and he didn't try to play out from the back, and yet they are still getting terrible results.
They have tried every manager you can think of.
It is similar to Man United's situation where, no matter what manager you pick, it is not working.
The players are an absolute disgrace.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has predicted that the fixture list could be the end of their stay in the premier league.
A draw is not good forEverton, they have to win againstNewcastle now. They have had injuries in key places. They need Dominic Calvert-Lewin back firing, but they are in a situation where they have never been demoted, so they go out and play attacking football.
When he was at Chelsea, FrankLampard tried to play on the front foot and have a go. I am not sure if they think they are too good to just go and get a point.
They are chasing their tails at the moment. It was a bad day at the office for the Wolves, so just get a point and start running. I think they are in big trouble because of the way they are playing. I think they are the ones to leave. They are atrocious and you have to look at their fixtures. I can not figure out how they stay up.
They have games in hand, but where do they get points? You look at the game, but it could be too late.
