Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 17:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski: “Both hopefully will be in and around the squad.”
On James Garner getting an England call-up: “Disappointed, I thought he was Scottish! I hoped he’d select Scotland over England. Thrilled for him, he’s played well enough to be selected absolutely.”
On what Garner has improved on: “I think he’s matured a lot more, gained a lot of confidence. I don’t think it was ever in doubt that he’s a good player.”
On Thierno Barry after he posted on social media claiming his friends were “attacked” during Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by Arsenal: “We’ve spoken about it, the club have spoken to him. We’ve addressed it as best as we possibly can, but it’s not my world to be honest. If you understand social media, you’ll know more about it than me. I don’t get involved.”
On the 2-0 defeat by Arsenal last time out: “We didn’t take away what we wanted which was points. The players played really well. Scoring goals is the thing, but Arsenal make it really difficult. Overall disappointed, but pleased with how we played.”
On upcoming opponents Chelsea: “They’re a little bit wounded, so we have to be ready for them coming to our place. Undoubtedly a talented group of players.”
