EVERTON: MOYES: OUR DRIVING FORCE

/noticias.info/ David Moyes has echoed the sentiments of his captain David Weir by insisting that proving the critics wrong once again will help drive their campaign.

The Blues kick-off in Tuesday evening with a tricky Champions League tie against Villarreal and despite it being just weeks since the fourth place finish the knives are already out.

But Moyes remains in buoyant and looking forward to start of his debut European campaign, looking to build on the lessons learnt last year.

He said: "I am optimistic for the new season and I am looking forward to it. We need to show again what we showed last season and I think we can do.

"It will be a little bit harder because of the integration of the new players and the time it takes. That is my one worry, especially with a lot of big games coming up so soon. But proving the critics of last season wrong will be a motivation."

Everton’s critics surfaced following a less than consistent pre-season campaign that ended with a defeat and victory over Fenerbahce and Udinese respectively.

But Moyes has refused to make any excuses by the form shown during the warm-up and insists his players are capable of competing and will be helped through by the buzz that still exists from last season’s achievements.

He added: "The squad came back for training thinking they are Champions League players. And they are," said Moyes. “You cannot take that away from the players and they will be given the opportunity to show that again this season.” notas_de_prensa_archivo
