David Moyes 300[LNB]LOSING leaves David Moyes like a bear with a sore head, so it is little wonder he compares flirting with relegation to tooth ache.[LNB]It has been a while since the Everton boss has felt pain quite so acute as seeing his team rock bottom of the Premier League, but as he prepares the troops for a testing trip to Birmingham, the Everton boss reflected that the occasional stab of agony is inevitable.[LNB]'We've been in this situation a few times,' he says. 'With a club like Everton there's always a chance that can be the case.[LNB]'When I took over Everton were very close to the bottom. There is a bit of a toothache about it, in that there is always a chance of that happening if we don't invest.[LNB] 'We have moved towards being pain-free at the top of the league recently but now and again the toothache comes back.'[LNB]This latest flare-up of discomfort is partly due to the ongoing shortage of goals, something Moyes admits is getting no less painful.[LNB]'Most teams need strikers, especially if your intention is to get up there with the top clubs then you're probably going to need a striker who will get you 15 or 20 to give you a chance.
