David Moyes backed into corner at Everton after transfer window shuts
Everton were only able to conclude one piece of business in the winter transfer window and David Moyes will undoubtedly be frustrated at the lack of movement.
Since his reappointment at Goodison Park, Moyes has masterminded somewhat of a revival, and the hopes were that January reinforcements could ramp up those efforts.
However, aside from the signing of Carlos Alcaraz, Everton had a remarkably slow transfer window and they may be forced to rue the lack of additions.
The Toffees are in a good position to steer clear of relegation, but a further injection of quality could have massively improved their chances of achieving that.
Lack of incomings at Everton was surprising
Given the position they find themselves in, many will have thought that the Toffees would have attacked the transfer window in an attempt to cement their place in the top flight next campaign.
However, things just didn’t pan out that way, and it’s rather surprising to see them end the window with one arrival, especially when the need for a striker was evident.
Alcaraz is a good addition, but the Merseysiders still appear short in various different positions and all it takes is a couple of injuries for those relegation fears to resurface, much stronger than before.
The returns of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja will be a boost for the Toffees, but the very fact all three of their strikers have only mustered up six goals this season showcased the need for a striker but that was never to be the case.
Moyes will now have to work with what he has and use his experience to prevent Everton from succumbing to relegation.
