Moyes at a loss to explain Everton woes
Everton manager David Moyes admits he is at a loss over his team's current problems after they were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Wigan at Goodison Park.
Moyes' men were predicted by no less a judge than Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as contenders for the Premier League title this season, but they have now won just two of nine home league games and currently stand only two points above the relegation places.
"We've been here before in a similar situation but the worrying thing for me is we are not winning at home to teams who over the years we have normally beaten," he said.
"I'm looking at this, trying to see if it's something else other than just not scoring goals. And I'm finding it hard to find anything other than that."
CHELSEA missed the chance to go top in the English Premier League after Didier Drogba saw a late penalty saved in a 1-1 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, who'd let substitute Drogba's shot go through his hands for Chelsea's 70th minute equaliser, brought down Ramires in stoppage time.
But the Brazilian then produced a fine save to deny Drogba, who took the spot-kick even though fellow substitute and regular penalty-taker Frank Lampard was on the field.
Had the penalty gone in and Chelsea won, the Blues would have gone top.| | Total | Form | H2H | |||||||||
