Everton skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Neville-c29904 attributed his team’s confident start to the season to the early arrivals of the new players, and welcomed the stiff competition in the squad for a place in the team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes’ unit, often accused of being slow starters, got their Premier League campaign off to a flyer, as they got the better of Manchester United 1-0 at Goodison Park in their opener.
The win set the perfect platform for the Merseyside outfit to set aside their tag of being nervous starters.
During the current transfer window, the Toffees have hired the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Pienaar-c34208. The fact that the players arrived at Goodison Park well before the transfer deadline date provided them with the opportunity to
feature in the pre-season action, and get themselves accustomed to the new set up.
The English International was quick on citing it as the main reason behind his team’s phenomenal performance against the nineteen times league champions. He opined that the major reason behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019’s pitiful starts over the last couple of years has been
the poor timing of the signings, and it was not the case this time around.
While talking to reporters, he said: “We have looked into many things but I think it is the recruitment which has been most important. When it is done early there is not the uncertainty of who we are bringing in or who is leaving.”
“Last season the panic and nervousness of the fans spread to the team and I have to admit the team were probably anxious as well.”
The 35-year old also believed that the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darron-Gibson-c10368 proved to be the major lifting factors, and there was a semblance of calm in the entire unit coming into the season.
“All of the sudden there was a challenge of competing for your place again and we were probably the form team of the last six months. That calmness has gone into us all because we have recruited early,” he added.
Everton will take on Aston Villa in their next game on Saturday.
