If Arsenal had played like we did people wouldn't stop talking about it, says Everton boss Moyes

David Moyes has demanded a repeat performance when Everton meet West Ham in the league on Saturday after their win in the Carling Cup last night.

Victory extended Everton's unbeaten streak to 11 games and Moyes wants to make that 12 when his side return to Upton Park.

"We've never been in this position before, challenging for honours on four fronts," said Moyes.

"This was a good result for us, to come to Upton Park in a cup tie is a hard thing to do, and this was our third draw away from home.

"But the league is our priority and I'm looking forward to coming back on Saturday. Hopefully we'll do the same again.

"If Arsenal had played the way we played in the first half people would all be talking about it. We were very good."

Moyes hailed matchwinner Yakubu's impact and indicated just how much Everton will miss the Nigerian when he heads off to the African Nations Cup in the new year.

Yakubu continually tested West Ham and was Everton's brightest asset in a turgid second half.

"He brings people into the game, his link-up play and his movement is fantastic. He's done a great job for us," said Moyes.
