David Moyes urges his Everton players to lift the gloom at Goodison

'CONCERNED' Everton manager David Moyes has warned his thin blue line of Everton troops that they can't afford to wait for the Goodison cavalry to come to their rescue.[LNB]Everton welcomed back Leon Osman and James Vaughan from their colossal injury list yesterday, but still couldn't end their three-month run without a home victory.[LNB]And with influential men like Mikel Arteta, Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin and Phil Neville some way off a return, and Joseph Yobo and Yakubu soon to disappear on African Nations Cup duty, Moyes has urged the players he currently can call upon to seize the moment.[LNB]'I'm concerned because we're in the wrong part of the league,' he said after yesterday's 1-1 draw with Birmingham.[LNB]'But I've been concerned for a month or two.[LNB]'The injuries might not be back, so if the injuries don't come back in time then you have to win your games now.[LNB]You can't be waiting on other people coming to help. That's the message I've been trying to put out.[LNB]'I did say a month ago that if we're not careful we could end up at the wrong end of the table. And we are at the wrong end of the table.[LNB]'It is a different challenge for the players now. They have to realise that's the position we're in just now.
