Or, a different view could be he can't get the best out of his strikers. Everton's strike force changes every year, I can't remember them having a striker that made me say 'He'll win them games this year'. AJ, Yak, Saha, Beattie, Anichebe, etc., all pretty darn average IMO.
I'd go along with that, mind you, striker is a position where if guaranteed success is wanted, then big money has to be spent and Moyes has always lacked big money.
It also doesn't help that Moyes seems obsessed with the 4-5-1 formation, which definitely requires a special type of striker to pull off successfully....Saying that, our most effective lone striker over the years was probably Marcus Bent, which contradicts everything I've just said!!
