After making a pretty wonderful start to his career as the new Everton manager, Marco Silva is now struggling to get his players to perform. In the last three matches, Everton have lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Watford and Manchester City. The most embarrassing defeat was probably the FA Cup tie where the Toffees lost to Championship club, Millwall.

According to the fans, Everton now look like a side which cannot defend nor score. Things just seem to be going from bad to worse for the Portuguese manager. When he was in-charged of Watford, the team also made a relatively good start, but their performances gradually dipped and history is now repeating itself in Silva's time with Everton.

His new additions such as Lucas Digne and Richarlison have not yet reached the standards demanded of them. At the same time, players who have already been with the club are also not performing up to the mark. Everton next face a revived Cardiff City at the end of the month and following that, they will face Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby.

In the fixture held at Anfield, the Toffees were close to grabbing a point until Jordan Pickford's last-minute horrifying mistake caused the side to lose. If Everton are to suffer a thrashing at the hands of their fierce rivals, Silva's time at Goodison Park could really be up.
