BARRY HORNE: Brave David Moyes calls it right over Joleon Lescott's move from Everton to Man City

IT was another fantastic day to be an Evertonian last Saturday watching Everton, as I had hoped, start the game brilliantly and totally overwhelm an expensively assembled Manchester City team.David Moyes was very brave to speak honestly and openly about his feelings over the Joleon Lescott affair.If Manchester City had won much would have been made by the post-match media and the manager ran the risk of looking churlish.As it turned out, not only had David Moyes prepared his team perfectly, his programme notes helped to ensure that the atmosphere created by the Everton fans inside Goodison Park was outstanding.The fans certainly inspired the home team and intimidated the visitors, who after a run of comfortable victories one feels may be getting a little complacent.Marouane Fellaini was quite rightly named man of the match and can hopefully reproduce something approaching last Saturday's form on a regular basis.Top players, over a run of 10 games, will be good in five or six, very good in three or four and might have one poor game and one outstanding game.That is the level of consistency required to be a top player.I have expressed my reservations about Fellaini in the past but if he can find that kind of consistency I will be delighted to hold my hands up and say I was wrong.
