Everton boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes has mentioned that he will look to build on his side’s remarkable finish to the Premier League, following the Toffees 3-1 win against Newcastle United in the last game of the season at Goodison Park.
The Merseyside team finished the table at seventh place with 56 points, 4 more than their rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. The win against the Magpies on Sunday extended their phenomenal unbeaten streak to nine games at the end of the season.
However, the Toffees’ failure to secure the sixth place meant that they will play no part in the Europa League next season.
The 49-year old, who completed his ten years as an http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 manager in March, refused to celebrate his side’s seventh place finish, pointing out that they have got the potential of achieving something much better than this.
While talking to reporters, he said: “I don’t think you can celebrate seventh. We have been brought up that you finish in first and maybe, in the Premier League, if you get the Champions League or even if you finish in Europe.”
Nevertheless, the Toffees have enjoyed remarkable success this season, which has seen them finish at the seventh place for the second successive season. They also managed to reach the semi-final of the FA Cup, but lost 2-1 to Liverpool at the Wembley Stadium.
Talking about the game against Newcastle United on the weekend, the Scott mentioned that his side had completely outplayed the visiting team on the day. He also pointed out that their impressive sequence of results in the last couple of weeks goes on to
show that they can pose a challenge for a Champions League place in the coming years.
He continued, “I thought today we looked like the side that could have quite easily have been pushing for a top-four finish today.”
Everton lost only four league games since the start of the year and their phenomenal surge in the last five months has been attributed by many to the club’s successful January signings. Their most notable performer in the second half of the season has been
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906, who fired 11 goals in 16 appearances since his move to Goodison Park in January.
And the Everton boss admitted that his January signings had made a massive impact on the club upon their arrival, and mentioned that he had never made better signings before in his managerial career.
He added, “It has been the best January I have ever had as in the main January is not really a month that I do business… we had a great January and we needed it because we weren’t in a good position.”
