Marco Silva criticized his team's mentality following their 3-1 loss to Wolves, saying they need to be more professional and motivated.

“For me, motivation is like obligation. When you are professional and working in a club like Everton, the obligation is to be motivated, to be focused. You can perform well and you can have a fantastic afternoon, and everything comes good to you. But if not then the players are on the pitch and they have to solve the problem in that moment with our plan. So when you are talking to me about ambition or motivation or focus, then to me that is the obligation of the player," said Silva.

Silva said he was limited by what he could do for his players on the pitch.

“My job is to show them clearly what they are doing, and what they are doing wrong on the pitch. To help them know why and understand why, even if you prepare and understand the plan, why you are doing always the same mistakes.”
