Everton lost again in the Premier League on Saturday, leaving Marco Silva under considerable pressure at Goodison Park.
The Toffees were beaten 1-0 by Burnley at Turf Moor, meaning they have now lost their last four league games.
The result has seen the club slip down into the relegation zone, and fans are growing frustrated watching the team – that was invested heavily in over the summer – underperform on the pitch.
Burnley’s goal came courtesy of Jeff Hendrick from a deep swinging corner from Ashley Westwood.
The Republic of Ireland international arrived at the back post in acres of space to fire home on the volley, and that was the sixth goal Everton have conceded from set pieces already this season – not one other Premier League team has conceded more.
TBR’s view
It has to be said, Everton’s failure to deal with set piece scenarios is very alarming, particularly when they have 6ft 3in Michael Keane and 6ft 5in Yerry Mina marshalling the defence.
The fact they have already conceded six is a really poor reflection on these two players, whom fans would expect to dominate in the air.
Silva doesn’t cover himself in any glory either – since the started of last season, Everton have conceded 22 from set pieces (higher than any other side, ) which is massively concerning.
The zonal marking style is always risky, but giants like Mina (£27 million, ) and Keane (£30 million, ) could really be doing better.
