Everton boss David Moyes insists he'd happily take European qualification this season.

Moyes refused to concede European football as a burden on the club and is as determined as ever to secure continental competition for next season.

He said: "Well I don't want to say that because if you were to give me Europe again now, I would gladly take it thank-you.

"I love to be in Europe but of course it has taken its toll on us because we don't have the players to change things.

"We are not saying changing the team completely but if you have the opportunity then you would like to swap it around a little bit.

"Well I don't know about Liverpool's form, I am looking at Everton and have got to look at us and make sure we do our job right and we can hopefully pick up it up before next week.

"We will try and get a lift off at Hull."
