David Moyes 300[LNB]BOSS David Moyes insists Everton's slow start to the campaign hasn't shaken his belief that they can secure a top four finish.[LNB]The Blues entertain Manchester United at Goodison today needing at least a draw to avoid their worst opening to a season for 16 years.[LNB]Their first three games have yielded just a point but Moyes has faith in the squad he has assembled and believes the Blues will quickly climb the table.[LNB]'We have got a team which is capable of being in the top four, undoubtedly,' Moyes said.[LNB] 'If you look at where we are now you would say that's unrealistic and if we give ourselves too big a mountain to climb it won't be possible.[LNB]'But I want us to compete with Manchester United this season. That was my goal and that hasn't changed yet.[LNB]'I accept it may have to change depending on how results go over the coming weeks and months.[LNB]'We went into the season with high hopes. I said we had a good team and probably our best squad and I stand by that. It's been frustrating so far because we've merited more than we've got.[LNB]'I think we can compete with the top teams but we need to become more consistent.'
