Moyes: Toffees must move on
David Moyes has urged his Everton players to put Saturday's disappointing 2-1 Premier League defeat at Portsmouth behind them.Everton had started brightly at Fratton Park, and took the lead through a well executed free-kick from Leighton Baines after just four minutes.However, the Toffees then failed to consolidate their position and allowed Pompey back into the match when Peter Crouch nodded home a corner on 23 minutes before another close-range header late in the second half proved decisive."We feel bad, and I had forgotten what it felt like," Moyes said. "I always take the defeats hard."I do not want to lose, and maybe that is why we are getting better because I take the lead and do not like losing."Nevertheless, Everton's season remains very much alive. There is an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United to come next month along with the chance to secure European football once again via a top-six, or better, finish."We have still got so much to play for which is terrific, and there is a motivation for all of the players," Moyes added."So let's hope the ones who got chances will play better when another one comes along."[LNB]
