The Toffees boss played five at the back to deal with Liverpool’s offensive threat but his setup failed spectacularly and his side conceded four times in the first half.

His tweet read: “Never learnt at Leicester – played back 5 it never worked & once again same tricks expecting different results.”

Moshiri backed his manager considerably in the summer but Silva has failed to deliver so far. If he doesn’t sort out Everton’s form soon, he will be out of a job.
