"Everton produced their weakest display in quite some time, as they generated an xG of just 0.88. "You wouldn't want to watch much of that," said the Scotsman to BBC Sport. "It wasn't a good performance. We have been playing quite well recently but that wasn't one of our best. I was disappointed that we couldn't play better because we can do better than we showed today - I'm not happy at all.""
"Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite are already on the treatment table, while Iliman Ndiaye is on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal. Everton's bench featured just six outfield players, four of whom were yet to make their Premier League debuts, but Moyes is hopeful Grealish can return in time for the match at the City Ground. "We have got quite a few players out at the moment," he said."
Everton laboured to a 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Burnley at Turf Moor and produced one of their weakest displays in some time, generating an xG of just 0.88. Carlos Alcaraz had the only first-half shot on target, while Beto and Thierno Barry were denied by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The draw extended Everton's record to 112 0-0 Premier League stalemates, the most in competition history. David Moyes expressed disappointment with the performance and insisted the team can do better. A depleted squad missed Jack Grealish through a virus, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite to injury, and Iliman Ndiaye on AFCON duty. Everton face Nottingham Forest next with a thin bench and hopes Grealish returns.
