David Unsworth sings the praises of Everton FC boss David Moyes
THERE may be some football managers who would dwell endlessly on an FA Cup final defeat like the one Everton suffered against Chelsea in May.[LNB]Having beaten Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester United along the way, only to taste the sourness of defeat in Wembley could give other coaches sleepless nights for months after.[LNB]Not so David Moyes, according to a man who played under him in royal blue and is now following in his coaching footsteps.[LNB]Former Everton hero David Unsworth is currently a youth development coach at Preston North end, the club where Moyes cut his own teeth in management.[LNB]The 36-year-old centre half is enjoying life as part of the set-up created by Moyes' former right-hand man at Everton, current PNE boss Alan Irvine.[LNB]And 'Rhino' insists that defeat by Chelsea in May will be the last thing on Moyes' mind, as he heads to Stamford Bridge tomorrow to once again do battle with the West London billionaires.[LNB]'The cup final will be the furthest thing in David's mind and the thoughts of his players as well,' he says.[LNB]'The manager moves on very quickly because he is such a forward thinking coach. He is very positive and never dwells on defeat, he just learns from it.[LNB]'For David it's all about the next game. The old saying goes that you are only as good as your last game but for David teams are only as good as their next.[LNB]'If anyone can go to Stamford Bridge and spring a surprise by beating them it's Everton. People would be impressed if the Toffees won on Saturday but I don't think they'd necessarily be surprised. Everton have got that in their locker definitely.'[LNB]Despite his optimism, the history books suggest the odds on an Everton victory are not going to be favourable before 3pm tomorrow.[LNB]Unsworth himself played the last time the Blues took all three points from a league trip to Stamford Bridge in 1994, thanks to a solitary first-half Paul Rideout goal. That was 15 years ago.[LNB]'I'm amazed it's been so long to be honest,' says the Chorley-born Everton-supporting defender.[LNB]'It's unbelievable that we haven't won there in the league for so long.[LNB]' The improvements they have made since that day are massive.[LNB]'They have redeveloped their stadium, acquired an enormously wealthy new owner and shipped in loads of great players.[LNB]'The players they have brought in are absolute quality.[LNB]' They've got one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe in Frank Lampard and arguable one of the best strikers in world football in Didier Drogba.[LNB]'Then you remember their home record which is phenomenal. It's very very rare that any club, let alone one from outside the top four, beats Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.'
