Yesterday’s win was not enough to spare the Spaniard from the fan’s rants with the banner reading “Benitez get out of our club” during the game.
I am not worried about my future at Everton, Rafael Benitez
Everton's victory was their second in 13 matches and with this performance there have been rants about the coach’s tactics and game plans.
Rafael Benitez
When Rafael was asked if he was worried, Benitez said, "No. What I said before - the problems that you try to fix are coming from a time ago”
"It's not that in the last three months we have had different issues, so the issues are similar and you try to fix that.”
"I have experience doing it. I will try to do my best. If some fans understand that, they will support the team. That is the main thing, to stay behind the team.” he said.

"If they don't understand some of them, it's fine, it's up to them. But I will continue trying to do my best, be professional and be sure that we can improve what depends on us."
Everton's victory over their Championship opponents came after extra-time, and Benitez was pleased with his players' reaction to the day's victory.
The Championship hosts made life tough for Everton on Saturday evening, opening the scoring inside 45 seconds through Tyler Smith before Demarai Gray and Andre Gomes turned things around.
Ryan Longman took the match into an additional 30 minutes before Andros Townsend secured a hard-fought third-round win when he scored a shot from over 30 yards.
