Moyes still searching for the turning POINTS

BLUES BOSS CONVINCED THINGS WILL START TO GO HIS SIDE'S WAY

DAVID Moyes is content with Everton’s start to the season and now wants to focus on the small details that might have turned more big moments in the Blues’ favour.

Consecutive defeats, albeit by Champions League sides Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, have seen his side slip down the Premier League table in recent weeks.

While he is intent on a push for the top half, Moyes believes it is important to recognise how tight the league is. One consequence of that is the exaggerated impact one or two results can appear to have on how a team is viewed.

For the Scot, recent weeks may not have yielded wins but the performances could easily have resulted in more points.

This is a view he maintains on the 3-0 home defeat by Spurs a week last Sunday, a game settled by two set-piece goals, with Pape Matar Sarr’s late header coming in the final minutes.

Everton had the best of the game from open play and forced Guglielmo Vicario into three excellent saves.
