Moyes wants fifth place finish

David Moyes has urged his Everton side that they must finish fifth after a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Goodison Park on Thursday evening. Everton now could lose their fifth spot to Portsmouth, who are four points behind with one game in hand.

He said: "Maybe we are suffering from a lack of confidence at the moment, but we have to pick ourselves up and win a couple of our final games to give us a good finish.

"We must pick ourselves up, we still have to qualify for the UEFA Cup and we know we must achieve that.

"Chelsea have been difficult again, no arguments. We didn't play well enough to win the game.

"We kept at it and we gave ourselves a chance in that second half, but we lacked any quality and that made a difference.

"Chelsea made sure they did their job properly. We know we are a bit away from them, but there has been a lot of spending put into these four teams above us.

"I don't like talking about our injuries and we were missing creative players, but we have played them this season will all our top players and still lost."
