Winning not quitting is David Moyes’ only goal: Everton FC latest
Winning not quitting is Moyes' only goal[LNB]IT IS perhaps an understatement to say that David Moyes is not a quitter.[LNB]When the going gets tough, the ambitious Scot rolls up his sleeves and finds a way to turn defeats into wins and poor form into success.[LNB]It is that remarkable ability which has marked him out as one of the brightest young managers in Europe while at Everton, and a quality his is nowhere near relinquishing.[LNB]While some errant mischief-makers have suggested Moyes may be about to quit Goodison, he insists the truth is quite the opposite.[LNB]He said: 'It's complete nonsense that I'd want to leave. I've been here for seven and a half years, I worked very hard to get here and I'll continue to work hard for the club.[LNB]'We're in a bad moment just now but I am going to try and get through it. I've got great respect for the supporters - if they thought it wasn't David Moyes then I'd have to think about it but at the moment I'll need to keep working hard with the players.'[LNB]That hard work will continue on Sunday with a must-win Merseyside derby at Goodison.[LNB]'Firstly it's three points is what's at stake,' he says. ' It's three points which are important to any Premier League side. Then it's the derby which is important if you live in the city or are involved in either of the clubs.[LNB]'We are going into this game in need of three points but I've probably gone into every game needing three points so it's not too different.[LNB]'You can almost smell the atmosphere on derby day. You can spell the difference in attitude, the anticipation. People getting ready to come to the game - because I've been a fan and I remember getting ready for the game like that.[LNB]'Maybe some of the players could do with walking up to the ground sometime and seeing what it feels like for supporters. That feeling can get taken away from them with the world we live in.[LNB]'If you've been a player since you were 18 and you're 28, there's 10 years when you haven't had that feeling of walking up to the game too often at 2.40pm. Instead you might have been away from it all having your pre-match meal and that side of it.[LNB]'It's important the players realise that excitement and anticipation. The players should be up for every game though. For me I shouldn't be talking about that attitude because it should be a given.'[LNB]Moyes insisted once again that the buck stops with him.[LNB]'I'm responsible for signing the players,' he says. ' I've signed all the players here and they should all be shaking my hand and thanking me for asking to sign for Everton because it's such a great club and for some of them it might never get any better and they should be welcoming it.[LNB]They need to be the ones when they cross the white line who ultimately take it on.[LNB]'There have been times when I've thought how is this going to change?[LNB]'But football has a funny way of getting you results. I remember a couple of seasons ago at Sunderland when we got a late goal and it changed the season.[LNB]'There are moments when it can change and the whole world can look a lot rosier.[LNB]'It's complete nonsense that I'd want to leave. I've been here for seven and a half years.[LNB]'I worked very hard to get here and I'll continue to work hard for the club.[LNB]'We're in a bad moment just now but I am going to try and get through it. I've got great respect for the supporters - if they thought it wasn't David Moyes then I'd have to think about it but at the moment I'll need to keep working hard withthe players.
