Moyes happy with performance but not the result

David Moyes felt that Everton threw away two points following the 2-2 draw at Birmingham City.

Everton went 2-0 up through Victor Anichebe and Yakubu in the first-half only for the home side to fight back.

He said: “I was pleased with the performance but not the result. We played very well at times.

“We scored two goals and should have been more ahead but for their goalkeeper. He made a couple of great saves, but you’ve got to credit Birmingham with coming back into it the way that they did.”

When asked about the Europa League Moyes said: “We have not been talking about seventh place and what that might entail.

“I’ve said all along that we have a long way to catch up. We’re just going to try and win as many games as we can.

“All we are trying to do is finish as high up the table as we can.”
