Everton's Moyes Addresses Ndiaye's Rise and Grealish's England Snub

In his pre-match press conference on November 8th, 2025, Everton manager David Moyes addressed several key issues facing his team. Moyes confirmed that winger Iliman Ndiaye, who scored in Everton's last match, has recovered from a minor injury and is fit to play against Fulham this weekend.

Addressing rumors about Ndiaye's future, Moyes said it would be "wrong for teams not to talk about" the in-form forward given his impressive performances for the Toffees this season. Moyes also commented on the recent England squad omission of Everton loanee Jack Grealish, saying he was pleased with the Manchester City player's displays and that it is up to Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to decide on his international selection.

However, Moyes did suggest he would like to see Grealish contribute more goals and assists to help Everton's cause. The manager also admitted that the goal-scoring output from strikers Beto and Thierno Barry "hasn't been good enough," though he praised their efforts in keeping the club in the Premier League last season. Moyes said the club is "putting them under pressure to score goals" and they need to "show us what they can do to earn the jersey."

Looking ahead, Moyes expressed hope that Everton will be "busy" in the January transfer window as the club looks to strengthen its squad. He also had kind words for Fulham manager Marco Silva, who had a previous spell in charge at Goodison Park, saying Silva has done a "brilliant job" in building a "really good side" at the Cottagers.
