Everton boss David Moyes has blamed his side's lack of cutting edge for their poor start to the season, saying: "We just can't score."
The Toffees have yet to record a win in the Premier League after five games and were dumped out of the Carling Cup on Tuesday night by League One side Brentford.
It all adds up to Everton's worst start to a season in 16 years and Moyes admits his misfiring strikers are the reason for the demise.
"We've had a few games in the Premier League where we've not scored enough goals and Tuesday was the same," Moyes said. "Our performances have not been too bad but we just can't score.
"In the first 20 minutes at Brentford we probably should have been two or three up. We had so many opportunities but didn't take them and that gave them encouragement.
"You are always worried when you are not getting results and I've been worried for a long time."
