Everton boss Marco Silva saw his side lose to Wolves on Saturday.
Everton boss Marco Silva has told The Guardian that he saw no response from his players when they conceded a third goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
The Toffees were hoping to put together a strong run of results having beaten Huddersfield Town in midweek, but fell flat at Goodison Park once again.
Everton went behind early as Leighton Baines fouled Matt Doherty inside the box, with Ruben Neves stepping up to score, before another Portuguese midfielder equalised in Andre Gomes.
Raul Jimenez headed home Joao Moutinho’s free kick to put Wolves back in front, and Leander Dendoncker smashed home in the second half to wrap up a 3-1 win.
Everton fans voiced their frustrations at full time, leaving Silva with just three wins in the last 12 Premier League games, whilst he oversaw a shock FA Cup defeat at Millwall last week too.
Silva is under huge pressure, with Everton continuing to struggle defensively, especially from set pieces and other individual errors at the back.
Everton gave away possession in their own half for Dendoncker’s goal, capping off a dismal display as Wolves countered at pace to wrap the game up.
Silva has discussed that goal, telling The Guardian that he saw ‘no reaction’ from his players after the third goal, an alarming admission for Everton fans to read and maybe a sign that the players aren’t exactly loving life under Silva right now.
“Sometimes I am happy, other moments not so happy but they have to understand because even after the third goal came after one more mistake we have to react in a different way,” said Silva. “Our reaction wasn’t what you would expect – there was no reaction that moment, and it is up to us to do something different. Even if you are not performing at your best you still have to put the other things [effort and commitment] into it,” he added.
