  "account": "Everton manager David Moyes has warned his players to avoid getting carried away with the club's strong start to the season. The Toffees, unbeaten in their first five games, currently sit fifth in the Premier League with nine points. Moyes explicitly stated that European qualification is not on the table this campaign, contrasting it with last season's near miss for a Champions League spot. The manager emphasized that the team's focus remains on improving and achieving better results, particularly in front of the goal. Despite having a solid defense, Moyes acknowledged that the team has struggled to score consistently, attributing this to a lack of quality crosses and finishing. He stressed that his players have earned his trust but must up the ante to challenge for a higher position in the table.",
  "summary": "Fifth in the Premier League table and yet to lose this season, Everton are on the up, but boss David Moyes wants further improvements - and don't mention Europe.",
