David Moyes with brutal honest after Everton humiliation via Eddie Howe and Newcastle United
David Moyes could only watch as Newcastle United dismantled his Everton side on Saturday evening.
Eddie Howe’s team produced another superb performance, proving to be levels above the hosts throughout.
To Moyes’ credit, he didn’t hide from reality after the match. The Everton manager admitted bluntly: “We were beaten by a far better team.” It was hard to argue. Newcastle were excellent and, despite scoring four, easily could have added more.
David Moyes after Everton 1–4 Newcastle United:
“We were beaten by a far better team.
We go again.
You move on.
But Newcastle United were much better than us.
You can see the experience they are gaining from playing in European games.
They were just much more powerful than us all night.
This has been a difficult run of fixtures for us…
We were away at Man U, Newcastle at home, Bournemouth away, so the job was to make sure we picked up points.
We have done that in one of the games but not tonight.
The plan is to do that on Tuesday night.”
