Moyes unfazed by criticism

Manager David Moyes is unconcerned by criticism of Everton's playing style as he insists his is the only opinion which matters.

The Scot believes his side have many more facets than initially suggested by Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard after last week's Merseyside derby. Gerrard described the Toffees as "playing like Stoke" before later retracting his comments.

Moyes believes the statistics speak for themselves and Everton would not be fifth, one point off the Champions League places with only one defeat all season, had they not more to offer. He said: "Your style is whatever suits yourself. Neutrals who have watched Everton would say our style is exciting and entertaining; you are seeing chances and goals."
