# Everton fans have mixed views on Marco Silva’s motivational message

Marco Silva has claimed that Everton’s fortunes are turning around following the win at Southampton last weekend.

Tom Davies and Richarlison scored either side of Danny Ings to claim the Toffees’ first away win in the Premier League this season, and Silva has now stated that the game on the South Coast can be a springboard for the club moving forward.

Talking about Everton’s form and season as a whole, [talking to evertontv](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1494563/silva-reveals-the-positive-changes-in-his-everton-team), Silva said:

> It is turning – and that is what we wanted.
>
> Before the \[October\] international break, when we lost how we did at Burnley, I told people we would react, for sure. And we reacted.
>
> It is good to see our players getting more mature and being stronger in their personalities.
>
> We played five games… and we could possibly be talking here about four wins and one draw. This is the reality.
>
> We could be talking about how the team reacted so strongly and showed the capacity we have.
>
> We know why in the previous \[away\] game \[at Brighton\] we did not win and we could be in a completely different position in the table.

Many Everton fans reacted to Silva’s statement on social media, and while some fans were keen to back their manager, others were tired of the same motivational platitudes without on-field results to back them up.

### Read Everton Verdict

While it would be great to believe what Marco Silva has to say, there have been far too many false dawns to truly buy into what he is talking about.

Everton still have so much room to grow on the pitch, and it isn’t enough to see one win against a poor Premier League side as the necessary momentum needed to reverse the club’s dreadful form.

Hopefully they can build on the most recent result, but should they lose or even draw with Norwich, it’ll all come crashing down once again.
