10 February 2010 08:00
DAVID MOYES today challenged Louis Saha to rediscover the goal-grabbing form that convinced Everton to hand him a new two-year deal.[LNB]The Blues boss knows his players need to improve their quality in the final third of the pitch if they are to recover from Saturday's derby defeat by beating Chelsea.[LNB]And he wants Saha, who has only scored once in his last eight appearances despite notching 13 overall this season, to lead the way.[LNB]He said: 'If we can get our centre-forwards right I think we can cause Chelsea problems.[LNB]'I'm looking for Louis to contribute more goals. A lot of his goals have come in the early part of the season.[LNB]'He has great talent and ability. He does thrive on a lot of confidence and needs that confidence and self belief.[LNB]'We've shown a lot of confidence in him in keeping him here and we want him to get the goals to go with it.[LNB]'He has played well in some games lately, but he hasn't got the goals and we want him to get that goal-scoring form back.'[LNB]Moyes insists Saha, who was tracked by Spurs and Arsenal before signing a new deal last Friday, has the qualities that can command big transfer fees in other players.[LNB]He said: 'Louis is a player who has that level of quality that people are looking for.[LNB]'But I would argue that in the last few games we have missed quality in the final third that only money can purchase.
