Time for Everton FC players to step it up - David Moyes
David Moyes 300[LNB]DAVID MOYES has warned his Everton players to start delivering the goods or face the chop when the club's injury crisis eases.[LNB]The Blues go into today's Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Goodison on a mission to end a miserable run of five games without a win.[LNB]A lengthy casualty list has severely depleted Moyes' squad but he is demanding a major improvement against Martin O'Neill's side.[LNB]'The players who are available need to stand up for themselves,' Moyes said. 'A lot of them are playing out of position and doing jobs that are unusual for them but I can't make excuses.[LNB]'They've got to play better no matter where they play. We did it last year.[LNB]'We probably had our best spell last season when we had no strikers and people playing out of position so why should it be any different this year? I try not to look for excuses. I try to make people accountable for whatever job they do.'[LNB]Moyes, who is hoping to have defenders Leighton Baines and Joseph Yobo back available today, insists anyone guilty of taking their place for granted will be in for a shock.[LNB]'I would hate to think that was the way our boys thought but sub-consciously maybe there is an element of that,' he said.
