Everton’s players have shown some great unity over recent weeks and some strong bonds are emerging between certain individuals.
Jack Grealish was the hero last week during the away trip to face Bournemouth down on the south coast.
The past few weeks have been extremely positive for Everton, who have been able to move into the top half of the table.
Grealish was not pleased with his performance against Nottingham Forest at the weekend despite the comfortable victory.
Having joined from Manchester City on loan, the 30-year-old has had no issues with settling in on Merseyside.
James Tarkowski joked Grealish is Moyes’ favourite, but there is one player at Finch Farm who the winger considers to be like a brother.
