Everton boss David Moyes insists the Toffees final league position will be a true reflection on their progress this season, rather than FA cup success. "The route we are taking through the Cup is a tough one and it's not easy to win any trophy," Moyes said.

"We've found it very hard in recent years because Liverpool, Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea have the same thoughts - they want to pick them up.

"We've beaten a couple of top teams in one competition but there is no trophy to be won at this stage of the season and you have to keep your form going until May.

"You can get a pat on the back at this stage but it means nothing if you don't see it through.

"I believe being a good league side is more of a show of what kind of team you are. It's over 38 games and you have to show what you are all about.

"In the Cup you could get a cushy draw all the way through and win it. Does that make you a good team or a great manager?

"I think you become a good team by consistency."
