David Moyes shares what he's 'disappointed' about despite Everton win vs Ipswich
David Moyes remains frustrated at Everton despite an unbeaten start in the Premier League.
The Toffees extended their unbeaten start in the league with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Saturday, courtesy of another Thierno Barry strike.
The Blues have gained nine points from five, with two of those games being wins and the other three all draws.
Moyes and his side now have an extended international break to work on things at Finch Farm, before returning to action against Hull City on 11 October.
They are also into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, having won their previous two games in the competition against Preston and Wolves.
Though Everton fans will be pleased with the start, Moyes still has his qualms about a couple of things.
What David Moyes is disappointed about at Everton
Everton have turned negativity into positivity so far at Hill Dickinson after the debacle of the transfer deadline day.
Angus Kinnear and Co. left it to the final day to sign a new right-back in Ainsley Maitland-Niles, while a move for Folarin Balogun fell through, leaving Barry as the only senior striker at the club.
Despite Barry's early goals for the Toffees, Moyes is actually demanding more of his players in front of goal.
Following the win over Ipswich, Moyes said, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo: "The players deserve huge credit for getting to this point undefeated. But I’m actually expecting them to do this.
"And I’m actually more disappointed that we’ve not scored more goals. I’m rattling them like you couldn’t believe at the moment: ‘Why are we not scoring more goals, getting better crosses in, better finishes, shooting from the edge of the box etc’?"
Moyes believes that the lack of goals is one area that is current preventing the Blues from being a "half-decent side".
Everton have scored six goals in their five Premier League games, and only failed to score in their goalless away draw to Tottenham Hotspur.
It may be harsh from Moyes, but when looking into the stats, he may actually have good reason for the demand to score more.
The stat that proves Moyes' frustration as understandable
Everton have often been known as a side that doesn't create enough chances in recent years.
But they have been slowly turning a corner under Moyes, though fans know what comes with the 63-year-old's playstyle.
Everton have six goals, but have an underlying xG rate of 7.30.
That said, they are currently underperforming in front of goal by 1.3 xG, and Moyes will be hoping that the statistic does not continue to rise.
