Everton boss Dave Moyes says their 2-0 defeat to Chicago Fire is proof his squad is short on numbers.

"We can't hide the fact that we need new players at Everton," he told evertonTV. "Everybody knows it, I know it, the players know it - we have to get five or six players in before the season starts.

"It's okay getting fit, but you've got to be able to play better the moment there's not enough competition for the players to realise that if they play poorly they won't be selected."
