The Toffees boss made a number of signings during the summer and he now has different players competing for each position at Goodison Park.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."What it has done is make the players realise there is competition," Moyes said."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."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.Accomplished"I thought Hibbert did a really good job against Borisov," he added."The experience he has gained through the years shone through and he epitomised what we do at Everton."When we are a little bit short people fill in and do a job and I thought he did a great job."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."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."
