adminIdrissa Gana Gueye names the two Everton players who have so much ‘quality’
Everton suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on the weekend.
David Moyes’ side actually played really well after going two goals down and were probably quite unfortunate not to get a point in the end.
Moyes was furious with the officials, who made a number of bizarre decisions, including one for booking Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for simply taking a quick free kick.
Speaking post-match, Idrissa Gana Gueye reflected on the game and admitted there are two players in the Everton team who just have to get on the ball constantly because they have so much quality.
Idrissa Gana Gueye says two Everton players have so much ‘quality’
Gana Gueye was pleased with how Everton responded to going two goals down at Anfield, speaking to Everton’s official website.
“We played very well in the second half, especially. We improved a lot because we trust in our quality more. We try to play more and we go to press them higher, make it difficult for them and then we score the goal and win the second half.
“We will now have a recovery and think about the next game because it’s very important to qualify for the next round [of the Carabao Cup].”
He then admitted that Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye are the two players in the team who they look to get on the ball as much as possible.
“We can see now we have a lot of quality up front and defensively we defend better. But we have to keep going and play as a team and give the ball to Jack and Ili because they have the quality to make the difference to score or give assists and they proved it again today.
“We played well in the derby but it’s not enough. We need to try more for the next time and try to win at Anfield. I wanted to win but unfortunately today we didn’t so we have to keep trying and keep working hard.”
Everton can put right Merseyside derby defeat on Tuesday
It’s a really quick turnaround for Everton, as they are back in action on Tuesday evening to face Wolves in the Carabao Cup.
Moyes’ side will be the favourites, as Wolves are one of the favourites to go down after a dreadful start to their Premier League campaign.
It will be a chance to see the likes of Tyler Dibling and Merlin Rohl, if he’s fit, so there is an opportunity for the summer signings to stake a claim to start in the league.
Adam Aznou could also get his chance after a period of adaptation since joining from Bayern Munich.
