EVERTON'S latest signing Merlin Rohl admits that he and his Blues teammates are going to have to conjure up some goals between them to combat the shortcomings of their striker’s scoring woes.

Tottenham Hotspur inflicted a first defeat for Everton in a competitive match at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday as the 3-0 scoreline ensured David Moyes’ men failed to register for the second straight game.

Frontmen Beto and Thi-erno Barry, who cost approximately £55million between them, have netted just once in the Premier League all season.

Rohl, who joined the Blues on transfer deadline day on a season-long loan deal from Freiburg with an obligation to buy next summer, came off the bench against Spurs for what was his third substitute appearance.

When it came to improving Everton's goal output, the 23-year-old believes that everyone needs to chip in.
