Silva seeking set-piece answers
Marco Silva accepts that he and his Everton players need to find answers as to why they have conceded so many goals at set-pieces so far this season.
A 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City saw the Toffees left in a 12th set-piece goal in the Premier League this season, with the Merseysiders having now lost three of their last four league games.
It's a matter for us to be more aggressive in that moment and be more confident.

And afterwards head coach Silva was clearly irritated by the problems at hand and vowed to try and find solutions in the near future.
He told reporters: "What I want to speak about will stay with my players, we've spoken many times. Bad things are coming to us too easily, it's not normal.
"They work, they put focus on it, but sometimes it is so negative the bad things come to us and I want to be positive in this situation, because I know the players are working, they are prepared, they know.
"It's a matter for us to be more aggressive in that moment and be more confident.
"Each set-piece is difficult for not just our players, but the fans also and I understand why, but we have to be stronger."
Everton are currently in ninth place in the Premier League table, with their next assignment a Saturday visit to Watford, who are one place above them in the standings and who are also one of Silva's former clubs.
Everton can be backed at 12/5 to draw at Vicarage Road, with a 1-1 final scoreline 6/1 and a goalless draw available at 10/1.
