Yakubu 300[LNB]YAKUBU believes Everton are stronger than they have been for many years.[LNB]The Nigerian striker is in his third season at Goodison Park since making the switch from Middlesbrough and is certain the Blues have gone from strength to strength.[LNB]'I think Everton are getting better and better,' said Yakubu.[LNB]'Every season we get better.[LNB]'With the players we have and getting our injured players back I think we now have one of the best Everton squads for a long time.[LNB]'We now hope we can progress as a team and start winning trophies.'[LNB]Yakubu was on target in Everton's 2-2 draw with Birmingham at St Andrews on Saturday.[LNB]That was his third goal of the season.[LNB]He missed a series of chances to improve his tally in the previous week's 5-1 win over Hull, but has now set his sights on this weekend's visit of Bolton.[LNB]'Sometimes as a striker you play well but you don't get your goal,' he said.[LNB]'Then at Birmingham I score with my first chance so you have to stay positive and remain strong in your head when you are a striker.[LNB]'I am so pleased to get my goal and be back. I thought after mine and Victor's goals we would get the three points but we now have to focus on taking three points against Bolton at home next week.'
