DAVID MOYES remains confident Everton can still push for a place in Europe after they extended their unbeaten run to four matches.
The Goodison Park side frustrated Tottenham Hotspur into a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane on Saturday and continued their rehabilitation from a poor start to the season.
Moyes admits the difficult opening to a new Premier League season which brought with it great hope, left him questioning his methods and searching for answers.
But reassured with the belief he has assembled the best squad of his Everton reign allowed the manager to keep faith and now is delighted his side are heading in the right direction.
“I thought at the start of the season that we would be up there pushing fro Europe and I still do,” said Moyes.
“We are a little bit short in the strength department and when the early results didn’t go too well, you start questioning your own self but in most of the games we have played well.
“We probably played better in those opening games than we even did against Liverpool and maybe on Saturday against Tottenham.
“I don’t think you absolutely doubt yourself when things go wrong because this is as good as I have had.
“We’ve got a good balance of experience with Phil Neville and Sylvain Distin and the emerging players Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines, Jack Rodwell and Fellaini who will be a really good player.
