As others have highlighted the display against Spurs was a disgrace. Trying to avoid criticising individuals, but it is difficult to not be critical of Sigurdson and Iwobi. Why Everton bought the latter is unbeleivable and Sigurdson in my view has performed as if he didn't want to be at the club since his arrival.
The problem is not just the players but the recruitment. If Delph was not needed at City, then he is not needed at Everton, the same with Iwobi, that's why those clubs got rid of them. It's not the players fault, it's not the managers and coaches fault but those at higher level who do the recruitment. The buck stops there.
How many of Everton's players would get into a side in the top 6, the answer is none of them with possibly the exception of Richatlison. That is why Everton is a long way from a top 6 placing until there is a change of players.
This goes on season after season, we now have one of the best managers, a good owner, a new ground on its way but again bad recruitment is always present.
I go back to the 1950s when John Moore's was owner and Jonny Carey manager followed by Catterick and I know the performances and players attitudes then would not be acceptable as they seem to be today.
I don't mind not getting 100% performance but at least I expect 100% effort from all.

I’d argue that both Digne and Holgate would get into a top 6 club not just Richarlison.

I would say DCL would get in to most as well, with the right supply he’s going to be banging them in.
