DINIYAR BILYALETDINOV wants Everton to pick up next season from where they left the last.

The Russian winger scored a sensational late winner to sink already relegated Portsmouth on the final day of the 2009/10 campaign.

That win completed a Premier League club record 12-game unbeaten run, surpassing an 11-match streak put together by Howard Kendall’s reigning champions from December 1985 to March 1986.

Following an injury-ravaged start to the season that saw David Moyes’ side precariously placed in the lower reaches of the table, Everton lost just two of their last 24 Premier League games.

It was an incredible turnaround aided by the return from injury of the likes of Phil Jagielka and Mikel Arteta.

In addition, Everton were lauded for playing some eyecatching football.

With everyone fit, Bilyaletdinov is confident the Blues can reproduce the same kind of form.

“The second part of last season was really good for us but the first half was not so good because of all the injuries we had,” he said.

“That affected us. We played well in some games but in others we didn’t have enough players available to do as well as we normally would, to take more points.

“Of course, the second part was much better than the first because we got some of our better players back from injury.

“Take Mikel Arteta for example. He is a central midfielder who helps us play well with his passing from the middle of the pitch.

“Our style of play was different in the second half of the season.”
