DISAPPOINTED David Moyes admits he faces a big job to lift his Everton players after their season slumped to a new low with Carling Cup humiliation at Brentford.

And the Goodison manager was fuming as he claimed a home fan threw a bottle at the travelling supporters during a pitch invasion following last night’s third round clash.

Moyes’s men wasted a succession of chances before losing 4-3 on penalties after being held to a 1-1 draw at the npower League One strugglers.

While Brentford netted all of their spot kicks, Jermaine Beckford and Phil Jagielka both failed from 12 yards to deepen the gloom around Goodison.

The visitors, who were beaten 1-0 at home by Newcastle United at the weekend, could have even lost the game in normal time but for a penalty save by goalkeeper Jan Mucha from Charlie MacDonald shortly before the hour.

And with only West Ham United below Everton in the embryonic Premier League standings, Moyes must now raise morale ahead of Saturday’s visit to Fulham.

“Any manager in my position would be concerned,” said the Goodison manager.

“We want to get points on the board and don’t want to get knocked out of cups.

“I have got a job on now to lift the players. I’ll need to manage and get to work. I will take the responsibility. I pick the team. I’ll be in the same place next week, at the side of the pitch, people will be able to see me.
