After hearing an assortment of deluded Everton fans bray over the Wilf saga and Silva's pathetic comments post opening game, it's been worth watching Everton's results to see how well their expectations of breaking the top six manifest.
This from the BBC Sport Website on their defeat at Burnley today made particularly pleasant reading:
Having spent more than £100m on new signings in the summer, Everton had harboured hopes of breaking into the top six. Instead, they find themselves just one place outside the relegation zone with two wins from their opening eight games this term.
They will drop into the bottom three at the end of the weekend if Newcastle beat Manchester United at St James' Park on Sunday.
This was the first time since January 2015 under Roberto Martinez that Everton had lost four in a row in the league and after keeping back-to-back clean sheets at the start of the season, Everton have now gone without one for six games.
It is evident where their problem lies.
Since Silva came to England in January 2017 as Hull manager, his sides - which also include Watford - have conceded 45 goals from set-pieces, including six this campaign - a league high.
Failing to pick up Hendrick proved vital on this occasion and the home fans chanted "you're getting sacked in the morning" in Silva's direction.
Silva stood inside his dugout for the duration of the game - slipping his hands into his pockets after his side conceded and looking forlornly at the turf.
