http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes, believes his side should have notched up all 3 points against Norwich City on Saturday, but nevertheless, praised the visitors’ valiant fighting spirit.
The Toffees were dealt with a blow in the closing stages as Sebastien Bassong cancelled out Steven Naismith’s first-half goal by scoring in the last minute of the match at Goodison Park.
The draw came following the Merseyside club’s shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Reading last week, meaning that the team have now fashioned just eight points from their last seven games.
Consequently, David Moyes’ men now find themselves in the fifth place in the table. After getting their season off to a flyer, their campaign now seems to have gone in a downward spiral, posing questions over their ability to mount a sustained challenge
for a Champions League berth.
Speaking to the reporters after their 1-1 draw with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723, Moyes confessed that the draw had left him disappointed.
He bemoaned his side’s wastefulness in front of the goal, claiming that they could have killed the game inside the first period had they made the most of their opportunities.
“It's hard to take, but that is the nature of the Premier League - Norwich were always in the game, even at 1-0,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“I thought we were more likely to go on and make it 2-0 rather than them equalising. But they did and we only came away with a point.”
The 49-year old Scott though, was impressed with the performance of the striker, Naismith, who netted in his third goal of the campaign.
The Merseyside club acquired the services of the Scottish footballer this summer on the Bosman ruling. After experiencing a difficult first few months at Goodison Park, the player seems to have finally found his groove, putting a set of decent performances
recently.
“I hoped that he would come here and get us goals. If he can finish the season with seven or eight, then that will be a good return from him,” he added.
Everton will next play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in a crunch league game at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
