Conor Coady has bemoaned Everton’s lack of killer instinct against Newcastle United. Just one shot - and none on target - all game meant the Toffees did not land a glove on Eddie Howe’s men.
Everton have failed to score in four Premier League games this season and also fired a blank away at Tottenham Hotspur on the weekend. Alarmingly, the only time Frank Lampard’s strugglers have scored twice in a game was against Southampton on October 1.
By contrast, Newcastle - despite having several forwards sidelined due to injury - are joint-fifth in the goalscoring charts. A slender 1-0 win is all that was needed to beat Everton but the Magpies have smashed in 18 goals this campaign.
