Megson pays Moyes tribute

05 February 2009 17:28
olton manager Gary Megson believes David Moyes has done a tremendous job at Everton.[LNB] The Toffees have become a force to be reckoned with since Moyes took charge in 2002 and they have enjoyed another successful season.[LNB]Everton are sixth in the Premier League and they kept up their fine form with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Liverpool in an FA Cup match on Wednesday which was not settled until extra-time.[LNB]Moyes has had to cope without several injured players in recent months and Megson has been impressed by the way he has built such a resilient side. [LNB]"I know David would look at his squad and say it's too small. He's got quality but maybe not got enough quantity," said Megson.[LNB]"It's got to the point where he is having huge problems with his strikers. He has to go with Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini up top, and they're doing a manful job.[LNB]"To be able to beat one of the best teams in Europe in Liverpool - with no recognised centre-forward - is a great testament to the job David has performed there.[LNB]"I think Everton are a pointer for how we should do things at this football club."[LNB]AdvantageBolton travel to Goodison Park on Saturday and Megson hopes his men can capitalise on any tiredness in the Everton ranks.[LNB]He commented: "Everton will get a huge fillip from beating their local rivals in the last minute of extra-time.[LNB]"But they played for two hours on a Wednesday night in a very intense derby, so there is the possibility they may have picked up a couple of knocks while our players were resting.[LNB]"Whether that's an advantage or not we will find out on Saturday."[LNB]
