Everton boss Marco Silva has explained in the Daily Mail why he went over to his side’s supporters at the end of their defeat to Burnley.

Everton were beaten 1-0 at the weekend, with the pressure ramping up even further on Silva.

But the Portuguese boss was still keen to applaud the travelling support at full-time.

And the Everton boss claims that he will face his problems head on.

“I face up to things, more in these periods than the others,” Silva said.

“I went there to the fans because it’s what we must do. I still believe in the players and the quality we have. We had a worse period last season, longer than this one, and they reacted well.

“In this way the things will change for us, but the belief is the same, no doubt.”

Everton finished the weekend sat in the relegation zone, after what has been a terrible run of results.

The Toffees have invested heavily in recent times, but the problems in their squad have been all too evident since the start of the season.

Silva’s side were undone at the weekend when Jeff Hendrick volleyed home from a corner, after Everton were reduced to 10 men in the second-half.
