Everton remains unbeaten after five matches, currently sitting fifth in the Premier League. Manager David Moyes emphasizes a cautious approach, avoiding discussions about European qualifications as the team enjoys a solid start with two wins and three draws, accumulating nine points.

Following a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town, Moyes reflects on last season's painful end when Everton finished 13th after a promising run. The team had hopes of European football but faltered, winning none of their last seven matches. Moyes stated, "We are not using those words this year," indicating his focus on steady improvement rather than lofty ambitions.

Key points include:

• Thierno Barry scored the winning goal, marking his fifth of the season, despite being the only recognized striker after Beto's departure.
• Everton's defense has been impressive, recording five clean sheets in seven matches.
• Moyes acknowledges the need for improved scoring, expressing disappointment with only two out of 21 shots on target against Ipswich.

Despite the unbeaten start, Moyes insists more work is needed, stating, "I'm actually more disappointed that we aren't scoring more goals."

Jordan Pickford, Everton's goalkeeper, shares a positive outlook, emphasizing the team's momentum and readiness for their next match against Hull City on October 11. He praises Barry's development, noting, "He works hard and the goals will come from working hard."

As the international break approaches, Everton's focus remains on building on their strong start while keeping expectations realistic.
