Everton boss Marco Silva is at a loss to explain their inconsistency after a 3-1 defeat at Wolves.

Wolves have now scored 10 goals in three Premier League outings to strengthen their grip on seventh place above Watford and Everton, but they were helped at Goodison Park by some generous defending from Silva's side - particularly at set-pieces.

Asked what had gone wrong, Silva said: "Many things. When you lose a game like this afternoon playing at home and giving easy to things to our opponents it is a tough afternoon and a disappointing result.

"If I see our opponents do something really special, I'm the first one to be fair with them and give congratulations but I can see we lost the game because we are giving everything too easy."

Silva admitted he was giving the same answers to the same questions after a miserable winter for Everton, who have lost four of their last six Premier League matches.

"I have to be honest when I'm talking to the players, to you, to our fans about what is my feedback," he said.

"It is up to us to solve the problems. We keep doing the same things but this is not a moment to find excuses.

"We have to look clearly. I don't want to hear about nerves because if you are here working at this club you have to be able to be able to handle the pressure. It's not about finding an excuse. You have to find the solution."
