With the manager of the Everton FC having his focus on the Premier League and improving the club’s position in the League, the focus has somewhat shifted and Moyes is of the view that finishing high in the Premier League is much more important than the FC Cup. Moyes has now been manager for the Everton FC for seven years and this time has been a good and steady one for the club and the players, who are very happy with their manager.

Moyes does not appear satisfied with the recent performance of Everton and was expecting much more. The club let a one goal lead slip and due to that they suffered a defeat, which is their second now. The manager is satisfied with the game by Lars Jacobsen, who was given an opportunity in the game and he grabbed it and had a good game, even if the club did suffer a defeat. The manager was of the view that the game had turned out to be a difficult one for Everton, but Lars did fine. At Fratton Park, the player made his debut and did well. Everton has been knocked out in the Carling Cup and UEFA and their position has weakened a little, which is also a reason for the club to be focusing on improving their position in the Premier League. The captain of the club thinks that this is the time for the squad to perform and do it in a way they know they can.
