David Moyes sets Blues goals - Everton FC latest
DAVID MOYES is looking for Everton to rediscover their clinical touch as they attempt to climb away from the Premier League's basement battle.[LNB]The Toffees extended their unbeaten run to four games with a 1-1 draw at Sunderland in Saturday, and, with their crippling injury problems finally starting to ease, are starting to look upwards rather than over their shoulders.[LNB]However, today they face promoted Burnley, who have proved formidable at home but less effective on their travels, at Goodison Park seeking a first win in any competition on their own pitch since defeating Blackburn on September 20 - a run of eight games.[LNB]Six of those have come in the league, and although only derby rivals Liverpool have won there, that sequence of fixtures has yielded just five points.[LNB]After seeing his team last keep a home clean sheet against Rovers three months ago, manager Moyes believes Everton must be more ruthless in front of goal to take three points.[LNB]He said: 'At home, we have struggled a little bit recently. We have not turned draws into victories, so we have to do that.[LNB]'In some of the games - Birmingham last week as well - we have dominated the majority of it, but gave them one chance and they scored.[LNB]'It looks like we are going to have to score more than one goal at this present time to win, and that's what our problem has been, we have not been doing that.'[LNB]One goal at the Stadium of Light was enough to claim a point, although the visitors had to wait 85 minutes to get some reward for a performance which improved the longer it went on.[LNB]Moyes, for all his interval warning, was satisfied with a point and delighted with the performance which earned it.[LNB]'It was a reward for how the players have played in the last week or two,' he said.[LNB]'We have played much better and looked more like ourselves, and in Marouane Fellaini, we have probably got the best midfield player in the country at the moment.[LNB]'He is outstanding the way he is playing. He was exceptional on Saturday and his goal was deserved for the way he played.'[LNB]There was a welcome sight for the travelling fans on Wearside as Phil Neville took a seat on the bench on his return from the knee injury he suffered in September.[LNB]He was not used after getting just a day's training under his belt, but could figure if required today.
