Everton manager David Moyes is hoping his side can rediscover their attacking edge against Norwich at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Everton have not been helped by injury problems and will definitely be without captain Phil Neville after he had a knee operation last week.
Striker Victor Anichebe (hamstring) and defender Tony Hibbert (calf) are still struggling but winger Kevin Mirallas (hamstring) and midfielder Darron Gibson (thigh) could play some part.
Gibson's return to fitness is particularly welcome given he has missed the last 10 games, while the Toffees will also be without key midfielder Marouane Fellaini through suspension.
The Belgium international has been one of the players of the season so far but Moyes is confident others will step into his shoes.
The Toffees boss said: "I don't think we need to plan any differently. The team's been playing very well, I know they're in a good rhythm.
"Obviously Felli's been an integral part of that so we'll miss him but we'll try to find a way of winning with the players we have available."
Moyes has also taken the precaution of recalling teenage midfielder Ross Barkley from a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday as cover.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a productive two months at Hillsborough, scoring four goals in 13 appearances, and is likely to head back out on loan later this season.
Moyes said: "Because of the injuries I felt we needed to get him back in the squad.
"Ideally I would probably have liked to have left him longer to get more games, and if I don't get him the games I want I'll probably look to put him back out on loan maybe going into the new year. But we'll see how he does while he's here.
"It's really important that we keep his development going and, from what I've seen, he's matured a bit and come on a bit with the games he's had at Sheffield Wednesday. With young players the games make a big difference."
