da fazobetai： Everton will be looking to close the gap on seventh-place Wolverhampton Wanderers when they host Arsenal at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Toffees picked up an impressive win against West Ham United at the London Stadium last weekend to reduce the gap to the west Midlands outfit, but they extended it to four points again when they beat Manchester United 2-1 at Molinuex.
Manager Marco Silva spoke to the press (13:38pm) prior to the clash against Unai Emery’s men on Merseyside, and these are two most important things he said.
Jordan Pickford update
As well all know by now, the England international was involved in an altercation in his home town of Sunderland earlier this week, which was caught on video.
When asked about the situation, Silva responded: “For us as a manager and us as a club I am not happy. The player is not happy with what happened.
“As football players they have an obligation. It is clear to them. It is a matter for us to remind him.
“Everything we must do we have already did.”
When asked what the 25-year-old has learnt, the Portuguese boss added: “It’s a big learning [curve] to him everything that has happened.
“We have to be aware of these situations. It’s done and it happened. It won’t happen again.”
While Pickford clearly wasn’t completely to blame he can’t afford to repeat something like this, otherwise he will out his number one place for both Everton and England in jeopardy.
Richarlison to Liverpool?
UOL Esporte reported earlier this week that the agent of the attacker had met with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, but Silva was quick to respond and laugh the rumours off about a player whose form has dropped off signifcantly in recent months.
The 41-year-old said: “I have to smile.
“This speculation is not important to talk about. Just to smile.
“Richarlison is our player and he is really happy here.
“I am 100% sure he will keep learning and improving in the next few seasons.”
That will certainly be music to the ears of the supporters, who have seen other talents like John Stones and Ross Barkley move on to pastures news in recent years.
Judging by Silva’s comments he expects Richarlison to stick around for the foreseeable future, and the expectation will be that he can kick on and be a consistent talisman for the Toffees.
