Everton manager David Moyes is concerned about his players' confidence following their 2-2 draw against Newcastle at Goodison Park.

The Toffees looked all set for a victory when Mikel Arteta scored and then Marouane Fellaini's debut goal saw them go two to the good.

The Magpies pulled level thanks to goals from Steven Taylor and Damien Duff and Moyes is now concerned about the knock-on effect on his players.

Moyes said: "There's never a good time to concede a goal. But that was bad. We gave Newcastle a lifeline.

"We are a bit fragile at the moment, anxiety crept in. Even during the half-time period.

"Their dressing room clearly got a lift and ours was down because we had controlled and dominated the half, so to go in just 2-1 ahead was annoying.

"We kept working hard. I know some fans were booing at the end, but they were disappointed we did not win the game."
