Everton fans were left disappointed with their draw against West Ham United on Monday, but Tony Bellew is not happy with what he’s heard.

Another point was added to the board by Everton against the Hammers, which has now left the Toffees four games without a victory across all competitions.

David Moyes will be looking to put things right at the weekend when Crystal Palace make a trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

There were some positives to take from the game against West Ham, with Michael Keane really impressing Duncan Ferguson.

The 32-year-old defender broke the deadlock in the first half, but the forwards were unable to provide their own input on the game in front of goal.

However, there have been some seriously frustrated Everton fans on the back of the draw against a struggling West Ham side.

Tony Bellew slams some Everton fans after West Ham draw

Jack Grealish has praised Moyes for his Everton form on the back of his loan signing from Manchester City.

But he did come under some scrutiny last week following the draw against Wolves.

Everton News columnist, Alan Myers, questioned Moyes’ team selection, but Bellew has now hit back on TalkSPORT over some fans demanding the 62-year-old to be sacked.

“Let me just tell you, not a chance. No one wants the gaffer out. How could you possibly want him out after what he came in and done last season,” he told Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara.

“He’s a top five manager from where he started to where he finished last season. A top five manager. He was absolutely outstanding.

“Now, this year, we’re just missing a 20-goal hitman. We have to be realistic, right now, Everton can’t attract a 20-goal per season hitman. But it will come.”

Moyes admitted after the game Tyler Dibling is a project player, who will make more of an impact in time.

But it is his lack of threat in front of goal which is really letting Everton down currently, having scored just twice in their last four games.

Moyes admitted he was disappointed in Beto over the summer, and that must have carried into the new campaign.

Unfortunately, summer signing Thierno Barry does not quite look ready to tackle the Premier League for the Blues.

Speaking after the game, Moyes told BBC Sport that the lack of firepower up top is really beginning to harm Everton.

“We played some decent stuff at times, we got a goal but we couldn’t get a second one which would have been all important,” said the 62-year-old.

“We did a lot of good things but we just couldn’t quite craft a chance to get a second goal. Once we didn’t get it, West Ham grew in confidence and belief that they could get something themselves which they did.”
