Jay Bothroyd and Tim Sherwood were discussing Everton
David Moyes' side are sixth in the Premier League after four wins, four draws and two losses from their opening 10 matches.
They are also through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and will play League Two side Fleetwood Town.
They have done that with Thierno Barry as their only recognised number nine in the squad.
The Blues have not won a trophy since their FA Cup triumph in 1995, and supporters are desperate to see some silverware.
Now, Tim Sherwood and Jay Bothroyd have agreed on their chances of ending the drought.
What did Tim Sherwood and Jay Bothroyd say about Everton's trophy chances?
The pundits were asked the question whether Everton could win a trophy this season live on air.
Speaking on Sky Sports FC on Monday morning, Sherwood responded emphatically, saying: “Love to see it.”
Bothroyd agreed with the former Tottenham manager, saying: “So would I, I think they can.”
It is nice to see two members of the national media having faith in Moyes' side and wanting the Hill Dickinson Stadium side to win something.
How likely are Everton to win a trophy?
The Blues are very unlikely to win the top-flight title, as they are already 11 points off leaders Arsenal.
However, the domestic cups represent a real opportunity for the Toffees to end over 30 years of hurt, and show that they can still be a big club.
They should get past Fleetwood and then they will face either the winners of Manchester City vs Bradford, Crystal Palace vs Sunderland or Liverpool vs Bournemouth in the semi-finals.
If they can get through that stage, it does not matter who they will face in the final, as anything can happen on the day.
The FA Cup does not start until the opening week of January, but the Blues need to give that a good go too.
It would be an absolutely magic moment if they could secure a trophy, and it should be the number one target as the campaign progresses.
While a European place is also important, primarily for financial reasons, in terms of the revenue it brings, a trophy win would send the atmosphere around the club into stratospheric levels.
