Newcastle head coach John Carver says the pressure is all on Everton and their under-fire boss Roberto Martinez ahead of Sunday ’ s meeting at Goodison Park . Carver was on Merseyside to witness the Toffees come from behind to win 2-1 against Dynamo Kiev in the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday night . But he was taken aback by the level of unrest on the terraces after they fell behind early on . John Carver sympathised with his opposite number Roberto Martinez , but insists Everton are under pressure . Carver 's Newcastle side are relatively safe in 11th place , but Everton are still too close to the relegation zone . Martinez has come under fire from fans as he tries to balance Premier League survival with European football . ‘ I 've got to be honest , it was pretty daunting . I was there with Steve Stone and Dave Watson , an Everton legend , and he 'd never seen that before - he found it quite strange , ’ said Carver . ‘ So I ’ ve said to my players that all the pressure is going to be on Everton at Goodison Park . ‘ They coped with it well in the end and got a good goal and dominated the second half . They deserved credit for coming back to win . ‘ But there ’ s no pressure on us , the players can go and express themselves. ’ Everton are 16th in the Premier League after a campaign disrupted by their participation in Europe . Carver was shocked by the levels of unrest when Oleg Gusev put Dynamo Kiev ahead on Thursday night . Newcastle travel to Everton on Sunday looking for only their second win in the last six league games . And Carver has sympathy with Martinez given his own experience of a relegation battle in 2013 as Newcastle juggled the demands of a Europa League schedule . ‘ It ’ s difficult to balance the demands of the Europa League and we can vouch for that when you ’ ve got a squad like we had then and they have now , it ’ s very difficult , ’ he said . ‘ They ’ ve played 14 games more than us . Only the sides with huge squads will cope . It needs to go back to a knockout competition . ’
