Former Everton manager David Moyes has thrown his weight behind the Toffees, boldly predicting they will clinch a crucial victory in the upcoming Merseyside derby against rivals Liverpool.
The ex-Goodison Park boss, who now manages West Ham, believes the unique pressure-cooker atmosphere of a home derby will be the deciding factor. Moyes insists the fervent support from the Everton faithful can propel Sean Dyche's side to a monumental win that would boost their Premier League survival hopes and deal a blow to Liverpool's title ambitions.
Moyes Takes Aim at Grealish
In a wide-ranging interview, Moyes didn't hold back on other topics, taking a surprising swipe at Manchester City and England star Jack Grealish. The Scot expressed stark criticism of the winger's recent contributions, questioning his end product and overall impact on the pitch since his big-money move.
Moyes's comments add to a growing debate about Grealish's form and role at the highest level of the game.
A Derby Like No Other
Moyes, who has experienced the ferocity of the Merseyside derby from both the home and away dugouts, emphasised the sheer uniqueness of the fixture. He described Goodison Park as a fortress on derby day, where the emotion and energy from the stands can genuinely influence the outcome of the match.
This insight sets the stage for a potentially explosive encounter, with Everton desperate for points and Liverpool fighting for the championship.
