Everton news: Former defender Alan Stubbs urges club to stick with manager Marco Silva
Alan Stubbs has urged Everton chiefs to stick with Marco Silva.The Toffees manager is under pressure after losing nine of his last 15 games, butStubbs, who played for Everton for six years across two spells in the 2000s, believes Silva deserves time to turn around the clubs fortunes.3

Some Everton fans want Marco Silva out

The ex-Toffees coach told talkSPORT: Over the last three years, Everton have spent the best part of 250million and thats the worry for every Everton fan.We don’t look like we’ve gone forward, it looks like weve stood still and stagnated. I do think, personally, we’ve got to stick with the manager.I don’t think chopping and changing the manager is the way forward. Hes been there for two windows, but hes only been there for one window in terms of buying because we didn’t bring anyone in last month.The owner echoed it the other day, weve got to give him a little bit of time, weve got to not make rash decisions.3

Alan Stubbs used to be a coach at Everton’s academy

I think hes got to see the season out, try to get some results along the way to try to help the situation and then hes got a big summer.Defending set-pieces has been a major problem since Silva was appointed on a three-year deal last summer.Everton have conceded 19 goals from dead-ball situations this season – the most recent one coming in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City when Aymeric Laporte headed home David Silvas free-kick for the opener on Wednesday night.But Stubbs, a former centre-back, insists Evertons players need to take responsibly for their poor defending.He said: The fact of the matter is weve conceded too many disappointing goals from set-pieces and I know the manager has taken a lot of criticism from that.3

Everton conceded their 19th goal from a set-piece this season against Manchester City on Wednesday

But the players have to stand up for that because a manager can tell players where he wants them standing, but he cant tell them to go and head the ball, that comes from the individuals.A lot of the goals that they’ve conceded from set-pieces is not the managers fault, its a responsibility that the players need to take in terms of going and putting their head on the ball.The balls that are coming into the box, they’re not undefendable – theyre coming into areas where you expect your centre-halves, your bigger players to go and head the ball. If they’re not winning the first ball, there becomes a lack of concentration on the second one because players are just switching off.Its a little bit like well, this is my area, the balls gone over my head, its not my problem.Once the first phase is over, youve still got to defend the second phase and sometimes the third phase.You can see sometimes when its going over players heads, youve got other opposition players running off their backs through a lack of concentration and they’re getting punished at the moment and its disappointing.
