Everton manager David Moyes has spoken of his determination to bring some silverware back to Goodison Park.[LNB] The Merseysiders have regularly challenged for European places throughout Moyes' eight years in charge but the club have not won any silverware since 1995.[LNB]Moyes feels ending that drought should be the next step for his team, who lost just two of their final 24 Premier League games last season.[LNB]Key to any success will be inspirational Australian midfielder Tim Cahill, who along with Moyes has been speaking to the media during the club's pre-season tour Down Under.[LNB]Moyes said: "It has been great to come out to Australia - so many Everton supporters, a lot to do with Tim Cahill but a lot to do with the English Premier League.[LNB]"We have been a decent team in the Premier League for quite a few years now.[LNB]"If you know about the history of Everton - Everton have won championships and European competitions.[LNB]"The one thing me and Tim haven't done is win anything yet. I think for us to get that name we are going to have to do something about it."[LNB]After beating Sydney FC 1-0 in their opening friendly on Saturday, the Toffees face Melbourne Heart in their second match tomorrow.[LNB]Cahill is working to a lighter schedule following his involvement in the World Cup but the 30-year-old has assured fans in his homeland Everton are taking the tour seriously.[LNB]Cahill said: "I didn't want to bring Everton here and have all the kids playing - not to disrespect them but I wanted to have the main players and show respect to the people that are coming to watch the games.[LNB]"The manager has been really focused on how hard we train. It has been non-stop training. Everyone has been saying 'can you show the lads the city?' but I don't think we've got time.[LNB]"This is for us to get fit, not to have a good time."
