Marco Silva is the favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job after Everton's disappointing start to the season.
The Merseysiders sit 14th in the Premier League table, collecting just seven points from their first 18, and Saturday's home loss to Sheffield United was already their third defeat of the campaign.
The 2-0 scoreline against Premier League newcomers at Goodison Park was met with boos at the full-time whistle and Silva launched an attack on his players, accusing them of 'hiding' and suggested some home truths were delivered in the dressing room.
The Portuguese's position comes under threat early in his second season at Everton and the 42-year-old former Hull and Watford boss is currently to be the next top flight manager to leave his position.
We look at how it got to this, what Silva says and the damning stats around his spell...
Where has it gone wrong?
When Silva was appointed as Sam Allardyce's replacement in 2018, he told fans to expect 'attractive, attacking football'.
After spending around £85million on Richarlison, Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina, with Andre Gomes and Kurt Zouma arriving on loan, Everton finished eighth in the Premier League in Silva's first campaign, reaching the third and fourth round in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup respectively.
A club like Everton should arguably be aiming to progress in cup competitions and his side's style of play, in truth, failed to inspire.
Their home record was good, the best outside the big six with 34 points from a possible 57, while their away form was mid-table with just five wins on the road all season.
After going behind in games, Everton fans can be forgiven for keeping low expectations - in the 21 league games he has gone behind as Toffees manager, they have lost 17 and drawn just four.
Silva was then well backed in the summer, securing Andre Gomes' services permanently, while adding promising Italian striker Moise Kean, Alex Iwobi from Arsenal and defender Jean-Philippe Gbamin, spending upwards of £80million again as they attempt to break into the top six.
The Toffees have revealed plans for their new 52,000 capacity stadium, while chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale earlier this year set out a 10-year plan for Everton to win the Premier League and to be playing Champions League football, but that looks a long way off at the minute.
Although Richarlison returned late after international duty, the Toffees were short of goals in pre-season and they have continued that trend in the early parts of the season with just five goals in total.
With the squad at his disposal, that should not be the case and his tactics and style of play is not what Blues fans expect to see.
Question marks are reportedly starting to emerge from inside the squad over Silva's lengthy, mentally-draining training sessions and ability to motivate his players, according to The Telegraph.
If his training sessions are so long, what are they working on when his tactics so far have failed to inspire? They are yet to score from set pieces or on the counter attack, but have conceded three and one respectively at the other end.
