http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Neville-c29904, has urged his side to be more clinical in their finishing, following their 2-2 draw at Fulham last Saturday.
The Toffees were, by far, the better of the two sides, as they created myriad opportunities, ensuring a busy outing for the Cottagers defenders.
All in all, the Merseysiders aimed a staggering 27 shots at their oppositions’ goal and enjoyed 59 percent of the possession.
However, an unfortunate own-goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes stunned and frustrated.
The English International labelled their performance on Saturday as the best in the entire year. Nonetheless, he lamented the chances that they scuppered during the game and wants his team to be more clinical when it comes to converting from the chances.
The draw lifted the Toffees to the fourth place on the league table. They now lag behind leaders, Manchester United, by a margin of 7 points.
“Saturday at Fulham was probably the best we've played all season, maybe the best we've played since January,” he told the reporters.
“I think we created maybe six or seven chances where maybe if we'd been a bit more clinical we'd have come out probably 7-2 winners. That's how if felt playing.”
A significant dip in Everton’s conversion rate can be linked to the poor form of their star striker, Nikica Jelavic, of late. The Croatian International has not scored a goal now in almost a month, forcing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 to take the central stage in the
frontline.
The 35-year old, however, insisted that the Toffees cannot afford to become over-reliant on the striker. He said that all the players go through lean patches during their career and it was now up to the rest of the players to rise to the challenge and cover
up his poor form.
“We just need to be a little bit more ruthless, not totally dependent on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906 scoring all the time and chip in with goals from centre midfield, wide areas and at the back. It's up to us all to do it,” he added.
Everton will take on Sunderland in an EPL match at Goodison Park this Saturday.
