The Merseysiders have regularly challenged for European places throughout manager David Moyes' eight years in charge but the club have not won any silverware since 1995.

Moyes feels ending that drought should be the next step for his team, who lost just two of their final 24 Barclays Premier League games last season.

Key to any success will be inspirational Australian midfielder Tim Cahill, who along with Moyes has been speaking to media during the club's pre-season tour Down Under.

Moyes said: "It has been great to come out to Australia - so many Everton supporters, a lot to do with Tim Cahill but a lot to do with the English Premier League.

"We have been a decent team in the Premier League for quite a few years now.

"If you know about the history of Everton - Everton have won championships and European competitions.

"The one thing me and Tim haven't done is win anything yet. I think for us to get that name we are going to have to do something about it."

After beating Sydney FC 1-0 in their opening friendly on Saturday, the Toffees face Melbourne Heart in their second match tomorrow.

Cahill is working to a lighter schedule following his involvement in the World Cup but the 30-year-old has assured fans in his homeland Everton are taking the tour seriously.

Cahill said: "I didn't want to bring Everton here and have all the kids playing - not to disrespect them but I wanted to have the main players and show respect to the people that are coming to watch the games.

"The manager has been really focused on how hard we train.

"It has been non-stop training. Everyone has been saying can you show the lads the city but I don't think we've got time.

"This is for us to get fit, not to have a good time."

Cahill will feature against the A-League newcomers at AAMI Park but Moyes will carefully monitor his involvement.

Moyes told the club's website, www.evertonfc.com: "I'd have preferred Tim to make sure he had a good holiday.

"We've not asked him to train, just a little bit before the game to keep ticking over.

"I've just got to make sure I don't feel the effects of Tim having no holiday in six or seven weeks' time."

Midfielder Mikel Arteta, who is due to get married next weekend, has now left the tour and will rejoin his team-mates later in pre-season.
