Moyes happy with competition
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Everton manager David Moyes says competition for places in his squad will bring the best out of his players.[LNB] The Toffees boss made a number of signings during the summer and he now has different players competing for each position at Goodison Park.[LNB]Moyes rang the changes for Everton's Europa League game against BATE Borisov on Thursday but his team still managed to come away with the win, and the Merseysiders are on a good run of form.[LNB]"What it has done is make the players realise there is competition," Moyes said.[LNB]"I said we needed competition. We didn't have any, certainly in the first few weeks of the season, but we have started to get a bit more and I think that is helping."[LNB]Tony Hibbert had to fill in at centre-back in the midweek Europa League match, and Moyes was delighted that the defender managed to raise his game in an unfamiliar position.[LNB]Accomplished"I thought Hibbert did a really good job against Borisov," he added.[LNB]"The experience he has gained through the years shone through and he epitomised what we do at Everton.[LNB]"When we are a little bit short people fill in and do a job and I thought he did a great job.[LNB]"We didn't know Tony Hibbert could do such a good job at centre-half but that was what we were down to and he went about his job very well - there might be other occasions this season when players have to do that.[LNB]"It happened last season when we played a lot without centre-forwards and the players who had to do the job did it very well."[LNB]
