Moyes sets sights on new striker as Jelavic continues to falter at Everton



Doubts over David Moyes’ future may persist but the man himself is certain about what Everton must do to push on again next season — find a new striker.

Moyes has put off discussions about whether he will sign a new contract until this campaign reaches a conclusion but he is not speaking or acting like a man who is ready to move on.



Down in a ditch: Nikica Jelavic has not been able to recover his form from last season



This has been an encouraging season at Goodison Park but it is one that could have been so much better and it can only been speculated what might have happened had Nikica Jelavic showed the form he displayed when first arriving on Merseyside.

Jelavic’s performance in the comfortable 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, secured by Steven Pienaar’s first-half strike, mirrored his season: lacking assurance and bereft of confidence. It came as no surprise when he was hauled off in the second half.

Though Moyes isn’t looking to sell the Croatian, who has only scored once in the Barclays Premier League in 2013, he knows Everton’s forward line needs to be bolstered.

‘I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a priority but I think someone who could have got us 15 or 20 goals would maybe have made our position greater than it is at this moment in time,’ said Moyes.

‘He knows. And the crowd are desperate for him to do well you can tell. There’s other players who would maybe get criticised but they don’t (with him) because they know how well he has done and what he is capable of.

‘And everybody is urging him and saying “Come on then, let’s get these goals and get underway again”. And that’s the way we’ve felt about it all year. He’s been great with his work.

‘He’s been the first one to accept that he needs to do better and I think when you have people like that it gives you a chance of getting better and the improving.’



Focus: David Moyes knows Everton need a top quality hitman to fulfill their potential

Everton still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe but Fulham are drifting towards the final day. Their attitude here puzzled Martin Jol and their attacking verve disappeared when Dimitar Berbatov hobbled off with a calf strain.

‘I looked at us in the first half and it seemed like summer,’ said Jol. ‘I’m satisfied we have got the points (needed to stay up) I am just disappointed we haven’t got more in the last few weeks.’
