Moyes: we can win UEFA Cup and reach Champions League

DAVID MOYES believes he has a squad good enough to win the UEFA Cup and qualify for next season’s Champions League.

The Everton manager arrived in Scandinavia with a depleted party for tonight’s UEFA Cup last-32 first-leg clash with Norwegian champions Brann Bergen but believing he is on the brink of major achievement in Europe. Moyes said: “We have the squad to win the UEFA Cup and qualify for the Champions League. I do not see it as a choice, nobody can pick the one they want. But we are good enough. We have coped recently with a lot of players missing and we are still in fourth spot in the league.

“We will be missing more for this game, but that is how it has been for the past few weeks. But we have coped. Now I hope we can cope with the remaining 12 Premier League games with all our players coming back, and another half dozen in the UEFA Cup. It is not beyond us.”
