'Nine finals' to save season - Martinez

Cape Town - Everton manager Roberto Martinez has targeted "nine finals" to banish any lingering relegation concerns and lift his team as high as possible in the Premier League.

The Merseysiders have finished in the top half of the table for the past eight seasons and last year's fifth place earned them a spot in the Europa League.

But after losing 5-2 at Dynamo Kiev on Thursday for a 6-4 aggregate defeat, they return to domestic football away to Queens Park Rangers on Sunday looking over their shoulder at the six teams below them -- including QPR.
