(Reuters) - Everton's ability to shut out rivals is a sign of their steadily improving defence but they will only win matches by being more clinical at the other end, manager Marco Silva said on Friday.

The Merseyside club have kept nine clean sheets in the last 12 Premier League matches going back to last season -- including four against the league's 'Big Six' -- despite not adhering to a defensive philosophy under Silva.

"To have nine clean sheets in 12 games is fantastic in a tough competition like the Premier League... that means we as a team -- not just the backline and the goalkeeper -- are working really well and hard... we improve clearly in this situation." The Portuguese had said before the opener that the club's failure to bolster their defence in the close season was not the ideal scenario, with only three senior centre backs available for selection.
