Marco Silva has said that it is the timing of the mistakes committed by his side which hurt them the most.
Everton went onto lose by 3-1 at the hands of Manchester City in their 17th match in the Premier League.
Everton manager Marco Silva has blamed the timing of the errors committed by the players en route to their loss against Manchester City. The Toffees squandered a number of chances to draw level with the Citizens as the reigning Premier League champions went onto win the contest played at the Etihad Stadium by 3-1. The loss sees the Citizens go to the top of the table leapfrogging Liverpool by 2 points while Everton are pushed down to the eighth place.
Speaking to the media after the match, Silva said, “The match went like we planned until the moment we made a mistake and they scored. We were really good [before City’s first goal], although not with as much of the ball as we would have liked.”
He added, “Against these teams, if you are not effective with one big chance, and concede from your first big mistake, it is more difficult. I told our players at half-time we needed to keep our good organisation and at one moment we would take more risks. One of the keys was conceding the second goal too early in the second half. And after we scored, we conceded the third too fast. That was the key [the timings of the second and third goals].”
