David Moyes 300[LNB]DAVID MOYES has warned his goal-shy strikers to sharpen up as he battles to transform Everton's fortunes.[LNB]The Blues' woeful start to the season continued on Tuesday night when they crashed out of the Carling Cup on penalties to League One strugglers Brentford.[LNB]Moyes' men paid the price for a string of missed chances and the lack of a ruthless streak has been a constant problem during the first month of the campaign.[LNB]Everton have netted just four times in their five Premier League games, which have yielded only two points, and the boss is demanding better ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham.[LNB] 'We've had a few games in the Premier League where we've not scored enough goals and Tuesday was the same,' Moyes said.[LNB]'Our performances have not been too bad but we just can't score.[LNB]'In the first 20 minutes at Brentford we probably should have been two or three up.[LNB]'We had so many opportunities but didn't take them and that gave them encouragement.[LNB]'You are always worried when you are not getting results and I've been worried for a long time.'
