Moyes: Manchester City have been almost unstoppable for years, but now Everton may have a chance

Hupu, October 17th: Everton head coach David Moyes attended the pre-match press conference against Manchester City.

Team Injury

Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohr have both resumed training to prepare for Everton's game against Manchester City on Saturday, but Grealish is on loan and unable to play.

Hall will return to the matchday squad after serving a one-match suspension to help Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in their last game.

Nathan Patterson was injured in the U21EFL Cup match against Bradford City in midweek, with Dwight McNeil and Adam Aznu also participating in this game.

Reaction to Pickford's new contract

"I'm really happy. The good news is that we have renewed James Tarkovsky, as well as Jordan and Jarrard. All three of them have made a huge contribution to this team."

Praise for Pickford

"I have managed it since I was at Sunderland. Having coached him, I always thought he would be a top goalkeeper. He was very good at a young age and has continued to improve over the years. I always laugh and say: 'Jordan always has his crazy moments, but he also has his brilliant moments. 'The point is, Jordan is the best goalkeeper in England, otherwise someone would have replaced him."

Talk about Grealish's loan avoidance

"Jack's absence is a pity for us because he performed so well. He was on loan from Manchester City, so we knew it before the game. We will re-adjust our state and prepare to face Manchester City."

Looking forward to the Manchester City challenge

"I think that over the years I have Manchester City, as we all know, is almost unstoppable, but judging from the current situation, Everton may be more likely to take points from Manchester City.

It is still very difficult to do this. Other teams have done it, and we must do it too."

Moyes recommended Pickford to join Everton.

"I was always close to Bill Kenwright and a lot of people connected with Everton at the time. When I left, he asked me about the people there and I said: 'The goalkeeper is a very good young goalkeeper.'

On McNeil's injury

"He has to keep working hard to get into the starting XI. Dwight can give us something we want. He has the ability to create goals and create goals. But now he faces competition. That night, he performed well for the U21s. "

Talking about the performance of center forward Beto

"He is an outstanding young man, and his dedication is unparalleled, so you can only praise him. We hope he can get back to his old self and get away from opponents who score goals. When I first came here last year, he had maybe eight or nine one-on-one opportunities. "

Maybe the way we play now, we have a higher ball possession rate, so we may not have as much space to break through the defense."
