David Moyes press conference: Everton vs Crystal Palace

Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Sunday day’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 14:00).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl’s will not be returning yet, with Moyes stating “they are both making progress but they haven’t made it on the grass yet”.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall received his fifth yellow card against West Ham and Moyes confirmed Everton have spoken to Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) about the booking. He said: “We have spoken to them and they are accepting the yellow cards are wrong. The last two decisions are terrible, more for the boy and we are going to miss him. He is back playing football now.”
Jordan Pickford will make his 300th appearance against Crystal Palace: “I think all round he is a really good goalkeeper. He is a very good shot stopper and very good with the ball. He has grown in maturity especially as he has been around England more. He’s got a bit about him but behind the scenes he is a serious goalkeeper.”
Moyes was asked about using Iliman Ndiaye on the right and said: “It will take him a bit of time and we might change him over at different times. We might put him back to the left if we think it’s the right moment. If different things change we can play him as the number 10 as well.”
Jack Grealish was not selected by Thomas Tuchel to be in the England squad and Moyes said: “I am glad I don’t pick the England team because the England squad is a great group of players to choose from, really top players all around the country. Jack is one of them, he is in really good form but I am glad I don’t pick the England team. He is showing the levels he can get to and we are hoping he continues with that. I believe he will be ready, he needs to continue on scoring goals and making assists.”
On the form of striker’s Beto and Thierno Barry: “From January Beto was as good as any striker, scored goals, helped make goals. Barry is a new young striker coming to the league. I can talk about many that take time to settle in. If you are going to expect a lot from them before settling in you’re wrong to expect that.”
The manager was asked about his decision to not make a lot of substitutions and he said: “I’ve felt we’ve got a much stronger squad than we’ve had for a long time and we are able to make changes if need be, but sometimes if there’s no need to make the changes, you just don’t do it for change sake.”
