A number of Everton supporters are not happy with what the club have posted on Twitter.
A number of Everton fans have slammed the Toffees after they posted a video on Twitter showing Lucas Digne producing several tricks at the end of a training session.
Marco Silva is coming under a lot of pressure right now. Everton have lost their last three games and five of their last six, with their only points in that run coming in a 1-0 win against bottom side Huddersfield Town.
One of those losses came at the hands of Millwall in the FA Cup. It is looking like the kind of year where there may be a somewhat surprising name in the final, so teams like Everton would be forgiven for kicking themselves that they did not keep themselves in the competition for longer.
Meanwhile, they sit ninth in the Premier League, six points behind Wolves. Silva’s men have also played a game more than all of the other teams in the division barring Manchester City, and could fall to 12th depending on how results play out this weekend.
With Everton fans having big hopes for this campaign in the summer, it seems fair to say that Silva has a lot of doubters to win over. And it seems that the club’s latest tweet has just wound some of the supporters up further.
The video itself simply shows Digne showing off some skill after training. But some fans are unhappy that the players are shown to be laughing and joking on the training pitch at a time when their form has been so poor.
It would obviously be unfair to slam the players for having a joke and messing around after training. But posting the tweet itself has been deemed to be a mistake by some, especially when the fans want to see the players working on defending, particularly from set-pieces.
Here is the video as well as some of the responses…
