Everton follows Liverpool
Liverpool can extend her lead to nine points with a win to nine points, and Moyes accepts that there is currently a Golf between the teams.
“I think it’s a great football town, it always has incredibly good players from different generations,” he said. “I cannot compensate myself, I had a reasonable share of defeats. We hunt Liverpool and probably not more than now. It was always great to achieve a result.
“But I keep returning to my last two years, where we were finished twice about Liverpool in the league. It took us a few years to prepare it and get ready. As you know, we have a few years until we are ready to compete with Liverpool again. “
Moyes has high ambitions
Everton ended her neighbors in both seasons 2011-12 and 2012-13 before Moyes left his unfortunate magic in Manchester United.
And he claims that it is something you can do again.
“The gap between the two teams was probably as big as it has long been,” he added. “So it is something that I have to bridge and bring the two clubs closer together.
“At that time, Diebys were probably a little more competitive. Only in recent years did we start in the Premier League above them, it is something we want to do again. “
Moyes’ record against Liverpool is absolutely
Despite all his bravery, Moyes has a horrific record against Liverpool and only won six of his 42 games against the Reds in Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham.
“It was always hard,” he said. “Liverpool have always been hard opponents over the years.
“Of course we want to win. But let us put it in the right light. The most important thing is that we get points to stay in the Premier League. It’s a big game. Let’s hope that the players are ready. “
Everton would have Vitalii Mykolenko back, with the Ukraine international returning to training.
