Moyes hopes Toffees can overcome sticky patch

NOVEMBER may be the cruellest month according to TS Eliot, but David Moyes believes December will tell if Everton are in dreamland or the wasteland.

Everton's record six-game winning streak in the Premiership came unstuck at Newcastle last week when victory would have taken them above arch Merseyside rivals Liverpool into second in the table.

The first game of a double-header with Chelsea in the space of four days then resulted in a 4-1 thumping at Stamford Bridge to send the Blues crashing out of the Worthington Cup.
