MAROUANE FELLAINI has warned Everton FC they must rediscover their clinical edge in front of goal if they are to avoid further disappointment this season.

David Moyes’ men had plentiful possession against Manchester United on Saturday but were unable to convert that dominance into an equalising goal after Javier Hernandez opened the scoring in the first half.

A lack of cutting edge cost Everton dear in the Carling Cup last week against Chelsea and in the weekend’s lunchtime kick-off they were could not capitalise on a nervous United.

Everton have shown their ruthless side this season, with the win at Fulham a case in point, but that quality has deserted them since.

Fellaini now wants his team-mates to begin to put away their chances to halt a run of five defeats in the last six matches, starting with his Saturday’s trip to Newcastle United.

“We’re disappointed, it’s always a difficult game against Manchester United but we had three or four chances to score but we couldn’t,” the 23-year-old said. “Manchester United only made three or four chances but scored. It’s not easy against a big team and we played well but couldn’t score.
