The 1995 FA Cup is the last trophy won by Everton but manager David Moyes remains committed to the league as their main source of success.

 

A catalogue of injuries which virtually wiped out his first choice forward line has robbed Moyes of a real shot at a trophy during 2008/9 but their league form has remained constant and the Toffees continue to be in firm contention for a UEFA Cup spot. In a week where Martin O’Neill and Harry Redknapp decided on fielding less-than-perfect first elevens to their detriment, Moyes has not hidden where his priority lies.

"The Premier League, finishing high up and getting into a European competition is really important," Moyes said, "I think that getting a top six finish is really important."

The maladies to the likes of Yakubu and the injury-prone Saha has left Moyes dependent on Tim Cahill as his main goal-grabber. Fortunately, the Aussie has responded to the challenge and has weighed in with several well-timed and crucial goals during recent months. With Saha’s stunner against West Brom at the weekend signalling a return to fitness and form, the last couple of months of the season could well be profitable at Goodison Park.
