Supporters of Everton have reacted to Marco Silva’s latest interview as pressure intensifies on the Toffees’ boss.
Following the defeat to Norwich City, the 42-year-old gaffer argued that he believes that he can still win over Everton supporters and turn the club’s fortunes around (as per The Guardian).
With the article shared to Twitter (via Bluekipper.com), supporters did not agree with the Portuguese manager and felt his time in Merseyside was up.
lol bless him.

I can appreciate why Moshiri wants stability, even moreso as Silva is ‘his man’ and underwent a dogged pursuit of him, but sometimes you just have to admit you got it wrong. We need to rectify this before it is too late, because we will go down if we continue on this road.

And I bet he can turn water into wine

He could win every game until Boxing Day and I would still want him gone.

Can Marco Silva turn Everton's fortunes around?
Yes
No
The Toffees sit 15th in the Premier League table, having lost seven of their opening 13 Premier League fixtures this term (as per BBC).
With the club staring down the barrel of a near-impossible run in the build-up to Christmas, playing Leicester City twice, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal (as per Sky Sports), things look bleak for Silva.
Possible replacements for Silva have already been touted (per The Express), however, some supporters did see a way which the 42-year-old could change his fortunes around at Goodison Park – with a hint of irony.
6 wins on the bounce then ….sorted.

He needs to start winning games and show some passion

What do you think?
In almost every case, when you get to this stage as manager, with a fanbase so wholeheartedly wanting a departure, it is almost impossible to turn around.
However, there is little else Silva could say following the clash with the Canaries and whether he believes what he said himself, only he will know.
