Silent protest by Moyes
David Moyes revealed his decision to not speak to the media after Everton's Carling Cup defeat to Tottenham was the only way he could make his feelings clear about fixture congestion.[LNB]Moyes did not attend the press conference at White Hart Lane after Everton's 2-0 defeat there on Tuesday, a fixture which was the team's third away match - and defeat - in six days.[LNB]With the Toffees having played at Bolton on Sunday, Moyes felt it was unfair that his players were not allowed the same recovery period as their opponents, who played Stoke on Saturday.[LNB]"It would have given us an opportunity to recover the players," said Moyes. "That's the normal sort of thing you might do, play Saturday then Tuesday or Sunday then Wednesday.[LNB]"That would be the normal recovery time for most teams to make it relatively fair - and it wasn't fair. Tottenham had the chance to play on Saturday and we had to play on Sunday and then Tuesday.[LNB]"People have said that I'm whingeing about it - I hope I'm not. When I tried not to talk about it, it wasn't to affect the media in any way. It was my only chance to put over a point which wasn't getting heard by the people who were organising the tournament."
