Everton boss David Moyes fears his players are being "taken out" one by one this season!

Moyes is angry after Steven Pienaar went off with a knee injury during Saturday's 1-0 win at Portsmouth.

Pienaar is struggling to make Thursday's Europa League trip to Belarus to face BATE Borisov after being taken out by Pompey's Aaron Mokoena.

Moyes complained: "I'm not happy because it was another late challenge.

"We lost our captain Phil Neville at Fulham.

"Before you know it they're going to be taking out all of our players if these incidents are not picked up on by the refs."
