'The Benitez factor is a HUGE problem for them': Everton manager has got 'real issues' which will 'grow and grow and grow', insists Chris Sutton after their third straight defeat at Wolves

Chris Sutton warned Rafa Benitez that he has 'got real issues' which will 'grow and grow and grow' after his Everton side slipped to a third straight defeat.

Many Everton fans protested when Benitez, who is a legendary figure with fierce rivals Liverpool, got the manager's job at Goodison Park, and Sutton spelled out his fears that 'the Benitez factor' could see the club's season unravel amid a string of bad results.

Everton have just a win over rock-bottom Norwich to show from their last six matches, and their performance at Molineux on Monday night in the 2-1 loss to Wolves continued a worrying trend.
