David O'Brien on Joe-Max Moore

Last updated : 11 March 2002 By David O'Brien
Who can Everton play up front now?
That's an easy question to answer.
Joe Max-Moore or Nick Chadwick must be played alongside The Rad.
Everton surely cannot rely on a lone striker up front, it hasn't worked before and it is surely time to go for a win rather than a ‘result'.
Better for Everton go out of the F.A. Cup whilst trying to score goals. This would at least help lift morale in a time of much needed League performance and points.
Goals can come from anywhere on the pitch and the strikers should not take the whole responsibility. Glances at other Premiership sides show goals coming from all quarters of the field.
Blomqvist should be scoring and Mad Dog isn't goal shy. Before the ‘Tiff' he had frequently started to compose waddling duck type runs through the midfield, with the specific purpose of shooting at goal. Unfortunately he is suspended for the game.
If Everton are to take anything from Sundays game then the goal threat coming from players other than the striker/s is a necessity. This would at least double the ‘shots on target' Everton are getting at the moment, which can only improve the odds of scoring a goal.
If WS drops the conservative play and plays Moore (Chadwick should definitely be on the bench) then Everton can expect to score. Moore may not be the best striker in the world but he is a striker and he has scored important goals for Everton this Season and in previous Seasons. Chadwick has been regularly scoring all season for the reserves - enough said.
There is Ginola, who so badly needs to score for himself, as much as for Everton Football Club. A few decent crosses and the odd skilful run and maybe he can play a part before he limps off for his massage.
Every Football Stadium is a Brothel and despite Everton's recent limp record, perhaps the Riverside is one that even Everton can score in.
