Everton boss Marco Silva says their "real football fans" will understand their slow start to the season.

Silva accepts he as manager will inevitably face the fury of fans who want to see instant results.

“This will never change, in football, the manager will always be the person who is in front," he said. "That is something natural.

“Those who understand football really, look to the situation and understand what has happened. What we did or not (in the summer) we cannot change anything now. We believe in them, so let's support them."
