Bilyaletdinov targets five wins
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov claims Everton can win all five of their remaining Premier League games to qualify for next season's Europa League.[LNB] The Toffees suffered a setback in their bid to catch the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa as they were held by West Ham to a second successive Premier League draw on Sunday.[LNB]The 2-2 result left the Toffees in eighth - five points behind sixth-placed Liverpool and four adrift of Villa, who have a game in hand.[LNB]Next week's trip to Villa now takes on huge significance and Bilyaletdinov says nothing but victory will be good enough.[LNB]"It is the second game when we have collected only one point and that is not enough to come top five," said the 25-year-old.[LNB]"We need five more wins and maybe we will still have a chance.[LNB]"Villa is doubly important. We need to win. We need to play at our top level, and I think we will be fine.[LNB]"We need to believe that and I think we can do it because we have got such good players.[LNB]"We now need some days for resting and sitting at home watching TV, then we can start anew preparing for the Aston Villa game.[LNB]"We need to think and believe about European football.[LNB]"I don't even want think about not making it. I am sure we can do it."[LNB]Bilyaletdinov was sent off after scoring against Villa earlier in the season and he was again on target to hand Everton the initiative against the Hammers.[LNB]The Russian struck with a glancing header after 24 minutes at Goodison Park but the relegation-threatened Hammers battled back into contention.[LNB]Mido had a penalty saved by Tim Howard but Manuel da Costa forced an equaliser on the hour.[LNB]West Ham enjoyed a spell in the ascendancy but Everton might have had a spot-kick when Da Costa tripped Louis Saha and Ayegbeni Yakubu looked to have won it with a firm 85th-minute header.[LNB]The visitors responded again and claimed a deserved equaliser with a superb header from Brazilian striker Ilan.[LNB]Bilyaletdinov said: "I scored a goal but I am not happy because it is still one point. It is not good.[LNB]"It was not a good enough finish to the game. The mistake after scoring the second goal was terrible but this is football, it is life.[LNB]"We were not good enough moving. Maybe this form should be better to get results.[LNB]"We need to score more at Villa."[LNB]Despite the disappointment of the result, Bilyaletdinov is satisfied as he looks back over his performances in his first season in the Premier League.[LNB]Bilyaletdinov has made a modest impression since arriving from Lokomotiv Moscow last summer - midway through the previous Russian season - and has now scored six times.[LNB]He said: "For me it has been one of the best seasons of my life. I have scored more goals than before.[LNB]"I have had a long season now, one and a half, and for me it is very impressive.[LNB]"I have enjoyed every minute on the pitch with this club."
