MOYES' PRIDE

by Matthew Gamble | Wednesday 12 March 2008, 21:06

David Moyes was full of pride despite his side exiting the Uefa Cup.

Everton beat Fiorentina 2-0 at Goodison, and the tie finished 2-2 on aggregate.

But a heart-wrenching 4-2 penalty shootout defeat ended the Blues' European dreams for this season.

Moyes told evertonfc.com: "We played some good stuff, they are a good side.

"We didn't play well over there, but we made up for it tonight."

Everton played superbly throughout the 120 minutes of the game, creating numerous chances in their attempts to overturn the first leg deficit.

"We had enough chances to win the tie and we probably should have done," continued Moyes.

"He (Sebastien Frey, Fiorentina goalkeeper) saved them and his saves were the difference.

"The crowd played their part and the players played their part in making that happen."

I'm proud of the lads. Jags says he felt numb at the end.... Personally, I'm excited at the prospect of seeing Jags go head to head with Torres later this month. Lets see what our neighbours have to say now about our Jags!!! COYB

Hugely proud to be at the game on Wednesday, I knew it was going to be special before the game when the boys line up, the noise from the crowd was amazing and very emotional. Luck wasn't with us, but we can play our way to overcome the reds. Again I have never experienced a night like it and will stay with me forever

We won so much more than a football match. We may have been knocked out by a flip of a coin, but we have restored some very special things to this club. On the brink of greatness.
