Everton fans have illustrated their concerns about their upcoming fixtures during the Christmas period.
After six defeats in their first 10 Premier League games of the new campaign, manager Marco Silva has found himself under huge scrutiny after getting off to a poor start to the season.
The Portuguese manager’s latest defeat came at the hands of Brighton after losing 3-2 at the Amex Stadium. The Toffees got themselves 2-1 up but a last-gasp own goal from Lucas Digne means that they now sit just two points above the drop zone.
Silva believed that VAR was the main reason behind the Blues’ south coast downfall after his side conceded a late penalty before his left-back put the ball into his own net.
Everton’s next 3 league games:
Spurs (h)
Southampton (a)
Norwich (h)Then it’s these…
It’s time to seriously worry, isn’t it? #EFC pic.twitter.com/1XxkQckFdc

Due to Everton’s woeful league form, fans are far from confident about their hopes of getting points from Leicester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United in December. One fan said that it’s a “big moment for the board” to make a huge decision about the manager’s future and whether they need to take action before or after this critical stage of the Toffees’ season.
Here you will find some of the best responses from Everton fans:
Yup.
Big moment for the board.
Hard to bring a new manager in with that run as their first games, esp if new to EPL.
Publicly back Silva now to turn it round and try and ease fan pressure or get someone new in with a few games to work things out before hitting those games.

On last seasons form took 9 pts from those games. Not the games that worry me tbh as generally turn up , esp at home . Games against lesser likes we are toiling. That said pressure is mounting
