Marco Silva's fall from grace over the past few months has been quite extraordinary. Once considered to be one of the most exciting and innovative coaches in the Premier League, Silva is now largely viewed as out of touch and tactically naive.
At the time of writing, his Everton side currently sit 16th in the table with a pitiful minus-six goal difference, as speculation surrounding his future continues to circulate.
This woeful start to the season appears even worse when one examines the Toffees' recent transfer outlay.
The club spent well over £100m recruiting the likes of Alex Iwobi, André Gomes and Fabian Delph this summer and although some of this expenditure was offset through the sales of Idrissa Gueye and Ademola Lookman, Everton's net spend was still around £30m.
