Moyes pleased with progress

Everton manager David Moyes believes his side has shown a great deal of improvement this season, despite their recent slump in form.
The Toffees face a battle to hold on to fifth place in the Premier League table with in-form Aston Villa closing in.
Since crashing out of the UEFA Cup to Fiorentina just over a month ago, Moyes' side have won only one of their six League games - 1-0 against Derby County - and face Villa in their next match.
However, an upbeat Moyes told the club's official website: "I think that we've played well this season. In periods we've played better than we've done in the past.
"It's a definite progression. At the moment we're suffering from a little bit of a lack of confidence, and injuries as well.
"We have to pick ourselves back up and there's some big games to come. And we have to win a couple of them."
