According to The Athletic, manager Marco Silva shaking hands with his players on the touchline after Everton’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United on Saturday raised eyebrows in some quarters of the directors’ box.
Even though the loss – their third of the new Premier League season – was their first at Goodison Park in seven months, that it came against a newly-promoted side has set the alarm bells ringing.
Everton fans aren’t pleased with the fact that Silva appears devoid of a plan B whenever plan A goes awry, and the fact that he deemed it fit to clap some of his players on the back as the jeers rang down on Saturday didn’t go down well with some members in the directors’ box.
