Some Everton players are reportedly not entirely happy with what is being asked of them on the training ground.

Some Everton players are apparently concerned that too much is being asked of them on the training ground by Marco Silva, according to a report from The Sun on Sunday (23/09; page 61).

The Toffees have made an underwhelming start to the new campaign, with just one win coming so far in the Premier League. And in their last three games, they have picked up just two points despite going 2-0 up away at Bournemouth and then having home fixtures against Huddersfield Town and West Ham.

And it appears that Silva’s underwhelming start to life as Everton boss may possibly be down to some frustration that is emanating from the training ground.

The Sun on Sunday (23/09; page 61) reports that some of the Everton players are concerned that the Portuguese is making the same mistakes as Roberto Martinuez and Ronald Koeman by over-complicating the sessions at Finch Farm.

If Silva is indeed giving the players any reason for concern, then perhaps it is understandable given that he will be desperate to make a fast start to life at Goodison Park.

A lot of faith has been put into the former Watford boss. He has been backed in the transfer market, and perhaps he feels a sense of pressure to hit the ground running on Merseyside. Unfortunately, reports suggest that some of his squad are being left concerned by some of his methods.
