Everton in need of a healing hand as inury woes pile up

Blues are in need of a healing handDAVID MOYES is desperate for his depleted Goodison troops to bounce back tomorrow.But not from the midweek horror show in the Stadium of Light.The Blues boss believes that match was lost on the treatment table as much as the Benfica pitch.It's the last Premier League game against Wolves, when two home points were dropped, which is still nagging away at the Everton manager.'That Wolves result may even be a sorer one than the Benfica one,' he declared.'We're as disappointed at losing one goal to Wolves as we were at losing five goals to Benfica.'Concentration at the back has suddenly become an issue for the Blues, after an impressive five-match winning run which included four clean sheets.The pitch black result in the Stadium of Light which marked a nadir in Everton's European history - the worst scoreline in their 47 years of continental football - could be placed into perspective by the extreme team selection circumstances facing the manager.But the goals conceded in back-to-back home games with Stoke and Wolves have suddenly checked their upwardly mobile Premier League progress - always a priority with Moyes.'Yes, concentration is an issue,' he said 'because we lost one goal to a set piece against Stoke then a soft goal against Wolves.'We went five games where we kept a clean sheet and then we drew two games 1-1.'The Benfica game was a one-off because we had a few defenders out, but we have to improve.'
