Bilyaletdinov targets five wins

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov claims Everton can win all five of their remaining Premier League games to qualify for next season's Europa League. The Toffees suffered a setback in their bid to catch the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa as they were held by West Ham to a second successive Premier League draw on Sunday.The 2-2 result left the Toffees in eighth - five points behind sixth-placed Liverpool and four adrift of Villa, who have a game in hand.Next week's trip to Villa now takes on huge significance and Bilyaletdinov says nothing but victory will be good enough."It is the second game when we have collected only one point and that is not enough to come top five," said the 25-year-old."We need five more wins and maybe we will still have a chance."Villa is doubly important. We need to win. We need to play at our top level, and I think we will be fine."We need to believe that and I think we can do it because we have got such good players."We now need some days for resting and sitting at home watching TV, then we can start anew preparing for the Aston Villa game."We need to think and believe about European football."I don't even want think about not making it. I am sure we can do it."Bilyaletdinov was sent off after scoring against Villa earlier in the season and he was again on target to hand Everton the initiative against the Hammers.The Russian struck with a glancing header after 24 minutes at Goodison Park but the relegation-threatened Hammers battled back into contention.Mido had a penalty saved by Tim Howard but Manuel da Costa forced an equaliser on the hour.West Ham enjoyed a spell in the ascendancy but Everton might have had a spot-kick when Da Costa tripped Louis Saha and Ayegbeni Yakubu looked to have won it with a firm 85th-minute header.The visitors responded again and claimed a deserved equaliser with a superb header from Brazilian striker Ilan.Bilyaletdinov said: "I scored a goal but I am not happy because it is still one point. It is not good."It was not a good enough finish to the game. The mistake after scoring the second goal was terrible but this is football, it is life."We were not good enough moving. Maybe this form should be better to get results."We need to score more at Villa."Despite the disappointment of the result, Bilyaletdinov is satisfied as he looks back over his performances in his first season in the Premier League.Bilyaletdinov has made a modest impression since arriving from Lokomotiv Moscow last summer - midway through the previous Russian season - and has now scored six times.He said: "For me it has been one of the best seasons of my life. I have scored more goals than before."I have had a long season now, one and a half, and for me it is very impressive."I have enjoyed every minute on the pitch with this club."
