Moyes backs ‘club decision’ to drop Grealish for Newcastle tie
The Everton manager praised the club's 'really good values' and discipline after the on-loan Manchester City winger reportedly missed training.
Everton manager David Moyes defended the club's decision to sideline Jack Grealish ahead of their League Cup match against Newcastle, praising the team's strong values. Grealish, who is on loan at Manchester City, reportedly missed training before the match and was subsequently left out of the squad. Moyes did not offer further specifics on Grealish's absence but emphasized that it was a club decision he supported.
The manager expressed frustration with the on-loan winger, who has a history of off-field issues, and commended his players for maintaining focus despite the controversy. Everton secured a 3-1 victory over Newcastle, with goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry, setting up a quarter-final tie against Fleetwood in December.
Moyes expressed optimism about the team's prospects in the competition, noting that a quarter-final appearance would be a significant achievement.
