Bowen | We're going to have to be right on it and not a percent less at Everton

You’ve got an Everton team managed by David Moyes in the final few weeks at Goodison Park next, so how do you assess Saturday’s fixture?

“I think the change that Everton have made has seen them pick up some really good results. The Tottenham game at home they won, Brighton away from home they won as well and against Liverpool they scored late in that game [to draw 2-2] and again they looked really good.

“They're going to be a handful and we know what their manager wants to do, his philosophy is the way he wants to play. They're going to be really hard to play against up at Goodison as well.

“It's always difficult. They've got a real good set of supporters with their support and how difficult they make it when you go there and play away from home, so we know that we're going to have to be right on it and not a percent less, because we'll get punished by them. They're in a real good moment at the minute. We have to go there with full confidence, with respect for them and respect for what we do as well.”

How important has David Moyes been in shaping your career?

“Probably the majority, especially my important years in my career, [he has shaped it]. He brought me in five years ago from the Championship and we enjoyed so many good times for those five years that we worked together - the different European adventures that we went on, the Premier League seasons, the European trophy winning it as well. We worked every single day and he's helped me to get to where I am now.

“I loved working with him, really enjoyed my time with him. Massive respect for what he's done and what he achieved here with us.

“I think in a few years to come he'll get the credit that I think he fully deserves. As a Club he really changed the dynamic and brought European football for three years on the bounce and a European trophy. I think for me he's a really good manager but an even better person as well.”
