IT’S the head-scratching tactical debate which has spilled from David Moyes’ office to the pubs and living rooms of Merseyside.

Everton’s lack of a cohesive strike force is undermining their season, and every supporter has an opinion on who should be tasked with scoring the goals the Toffees so desperately require.

This week we launched a survey on liverpoolecho.co.uk asking how fans feel the Blues should line-up, and which strikers should get the nod to start against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The results were intriguing, and reflect the growing unrest at the performances of established stars like Louis Saha, widely considered the club’s most talented centre forward.

David Moyes’ preference to play a 4-5-1 style formation, with Tim Cahill operating as a deeper forward behind a lone striker has traditionally proved a success.

Cahill, whose eight goals so far have propelled him to third in the Premier League top scorer chart, is almost immune to criticism yet the identity of the man alongside him has chopped and changed.

Moyes has stressed his desire to be fair to his band of strikers, and has tried to incorporate Yakubu, Saha and Beckford at different times.

Before Saturday’s 4-1 drubbing by West Bromwich Albion at Goodison, the Scot hinted that a goal return of one in eight for The Yak was unsatisfactory.

He accepted too that Louis Saha must do more, and after the game challenged Jermaine Beckford to improve his ratio of converted chances as the former Leeds United man missed a potential hat-trick.
