Everton FC boss David Moyes warns misfiring forwards to ‘step up'
David Moyes _300[LNB]DAVID MOYES has warned Everton's misfiring strikers they need to 'step up' after delivering the ultimate snub to them in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at West Ham.[LNB]Moyes controversially played Tim Cahill as a makeshift target man in the Premier League game at Upton Park, leaving Ayegbeni Yakubu, Louis Saha and Jermaine Beckford on the bench.[LNB]The Toffees boss was unapologetic over the move afterwards, one which he will not be able to repeat after Saturday's match at Stoke with Cahill absent for up to a month with Australia at the upcoming Asian Cup.[LNB]Moyes said of his forwards: 'We need them to step up.'[LNB] 'We've got a really good team. We've just not been able to turn our good football into goals. We'll have another look, we'll try something else and see if we can.'[LNB]Jermaine Beckford hasn't started a match since September 18, when he was withdrawn at half-time against Newcastle.[LNB]Since then he has been used as an impact substitute, most notably against Bolton and Chelsea, but was hardly given any time to make an impression at Upton Park coming on in the 90th minute.[LNB]Yakubu was introduced with half-an-hour to go, his first outing of any sort since he endured an unhappy afternoon against West Bromwich Albion in November, while Louis Saha was an unsed substitute and is still searching for his first Premier League goal since February.[LNB]Defending his selection Moyes added: 'Manager's prerogative, isn't it? I thought that Tim was a goalscorer, I thought my best players were midfield players, (Jack) Rodwell, (Mikel) Arteta.
