Everton boss Moyes would be delighted with seventh place finish

Considering Everton's disappointing start to the campaign David Moyes would consider 7th place in the Premier League as good as it gets. Moyes takes his team to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, anxious to turn the tables on their hosts.

Back in November Albion inflicted a humiliating 4-1 defeat on Everton at Goodison Park to leave them in 16th position.

Six months on and the Toffees have hit a run of good form.

Moyes said: "We are really pleased. It is a good run to be on and something we should be talking about at the end of the season. We aim to try and keep that going.

"In November or December I would have looked at getting seventh place like winning the Champions League.

"We have kicked on. We should never have found ourselves in the situation we were in but we did.

"It was difficult early on but the players have rallied round, showed their true value and how they can play. If we finish in seventh that would be great but we don't want to get caught by the teams behind us.

"I never doubted our character and spirit. I didn't think that was the reason we weren't winning games. It was because of quality that was why we didn't win."
