Everton<\/a><\/p>\nEverton boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I think we all wanted that [to get a win] and when you play Brighton it isn’t enjoyable because they are a really good football team. We got over the line, we are Everton and we do that quite a lot. We added some quality, the quality probably stood out today at the right moments when we needed it.”<\/p>\n
Brighton chances: “Brighton had great chances in the first half but they didn’t take them and we did. It’s the tight margins in football. We are improving as a football team and I don’t want us to lose the heart and soul of Everton, I want us to keep working hard and be competitive which we were today.”<\/p>\n
On improvement from Leeds game: “Against Leeds we lost narrowly to a poor decision. We didn’t play well but that’s how close it was. Today we are still improving. We have a makeshift back four at the moment because we don’t have any defenders. They deserve a lot of credit to get a result against Brighton today especially with the players we had out defensively.”<\/p>\n
On Jack Grealish: “That’s what we have been hoping for and waiting for. We want to add that extra quality and that’s what we are trying to do. Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall] and Jack both played exceptionally well. We are thrilled we are adding a bit more quality and we need to score some more goals which we did today.”<\/p>\n
On Jordan Pickford: “Some of his decisions are a bit strange at times and have got me pulling my hair out but he’s a top goalkeeper and that’s why he has been England’s best goalkeeper and still is. You need people who can make big decisions and you need your goalkeeper to save a penalty when it is required.”<\/p>\n
On the first day at the Hill Dickinson Stadium: “It was brilliant, it is something we all hoped would come around some day. Someone will be standing here interviewing a manager here in 100 years time, we’ll be well gone but we started it off today and I hope that the history of the future will be talked about a lot.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘That’s why Pickford is England’s best goalkeeper’published at 16:44 British Summer Time 16:44 BST FT: Everton 2-0 Brighton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-92631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
