Everton shot stopper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095, claimed that the Toffees current squad is the best that he had ever seen and is strong enough to win them a Champions League berth.
The Merseyside outfit have been in sublime form of late. They have suffered just a single defeat in their last 15 league matches. Currently, they rest in the 2nd spot in the EPL table, three points adrift of the frontrunners, Chelsea.

He cited the presence of scores of world class players in the dugout, and feels that their recent performances spoke at lengths about their potential.

“This is my seventh season. I think it is the best squad we have had, in terms of quality from top to bottom… I get the feeling from being around the guys in training and in matches that it is the most talented squad we have had.”
“Does that give us the best chance? Maybe, because our grit and determination is always there and that is an http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 trait. Maybe this could be our year.”
Everton last qualified for the Champions League back in 2005, after finishing fourth in the league.
