Michael Ball hits out at Silva’s tactics after Everton defeat

Former Everton player Michael Ball has hit out at Marco Silva for his tactics at Anfield.

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.

Silva deployed a similar setup against Leicester City in the previous game and Everton suffered against them as well.

Ball tweeted that Silva is using the same tricks and expecting different results.

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