Moyes rues missing chance of victory
“Tim has been terrific this season and so have all the other boys who have done a great job defensively.
“Tim is a great professional who works really hard at his game and I think also it is compliment to the boys who play in front of him, Joseph Yobo, Joleon Lescott and Phil Jagielka and the full-backs. Good teams start with a strong platform.”
With Everton’s FA Cup Final date less than two weeks away, Moyes says all his players know they still have a chance to impress him ahead of the trip to Wembley.
Youngsters Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell were handed starting places on Saturday and the Everton manager was pleased with how they responded to the task.
He added: “We have got 13, 14 players to pick from, all of the players will get used and know what is required. The opportunities are there for them to show me what they can do.
“Both of the young boys who have come into the team have done very well today, they are good players and have done well this season at the times when we have needed them.”
