  1. Hi gang, welcome to the “We may not be scary, but please respect us :)” edition of the press conference.

    Summary:

    – Nothing new on team news. Moyes expects Branthwaite to be available.

    – They’ve been careful with Branthwaites minutes. They want him playing every game, but sometimes they need to take advice on when to rest him due to his injury/surgery.

    – Moyes thinks we’ve had too many periods of time off, he prefers more regular fixtures. It’s our fault since we’ve been knocked out of the cups early. Arsenal are lucky that they’re doing well in all competitions.

    – Moyes questions people who have been critical of Arsenal and their strength with set pieces. “It’s part of the game. And if there’s this thing out there where everybody has to plau the beautiful game and everything has to be perfect, well if we all done that it would be boring.”

    – Asked about our improvements this season and if they will help us in the transfer market this summer. Moyes said “I was probably more surprised the amount of players who didn’t want to come to Everton. Unbelievable the amount of players I spoke to and tried to get here and I couldn’t get them to come. If we want to try and get the level of players that we’d like to get in the windows coming up, I think Europe is really important.

    – Doesn’t think that Arsenal will be fearing us because they have high level players. But he hopes they give us the respect we deserve, as we’ve been playing well.
