Moyes Hails Teen Duo
David Moyes pays tribute to midfielders Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell.
David Moyes paid tribute to his young guns after the win over Liverpool.
While Dan Gosling, 19, stole the headlines with his winner in extra time, the Everton boss was also keen to praise 17-year-old Jack Rodwell for his display.
Both teenagers were introduced as second half substitutes and played key roles at the Toffees defeated Liverpool 1-0.
"The two young boys did terrific," David Moyes told evertonTV. "When the game opened up, it suited Jack because he is a good passer and he's elegant in his play.
"Dan Gosling, I have always thought, can get you a goal. He's got bits in his game where he pops up and gets you a goal."
Moyes reserved positive words for his centre halves, Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott, who were again exemplary in their rearguard display.
The Blues boss is now hoping the feel-good factor at Goodison will continue into Saturday's visit of Bolton.
"They were terrific, they really were. I think they are playing as good as any centre halves in the league," he said.
"It gives us a good platform and let's hope it continues. What will be important now is if we can beat Bolton in the league."

Russell MaddenNice to see Jack the lad hasn't been overlooked for his performance !!! Well done to all peeps of the peoples club
Friday 6th February 12:09 Report CommentSaegaran KanalanadanWell done boys. A special note on Rodwell. He has shown massive composure on the ball and his distribution for a very young player. I believe Rodwell is destined to be the best CM for Everton, in England and possibly the world in the near future. COYB!!

Giles EdwardsGreat work from the youngsters but let's not forget VDM - he may have only played the last 15 mins or so but it was his cross that found Gosling! I think he needs to be used more often; a definite positive attacking option.

Ryan Angeluccijack rodwell was in my form 5 years i saw him grow up with me tlk about everton he seemed so passionate to football commited he got really good grades when i watched the match i was buzzing he connected the midfield his passing was terrific 4 17 aswell against the big guns! in my opinion everton where in a different league, i really hope he acheives everything in his career, and plays more games, his presence at 17 is incredible, lets hope he helps us reach europe!!! i behind the team!

chris loinesi went to the same school as jack rodwell but i was in a couple of years below so i never got to play against him but he looked great out there last night and i hope he stays at the club for his whole career. dan gosling wot a goal that was i was lovin the fact that i could laugh at my liverpoolian school mates and say that we where the best team. there are some other great players at birkdale high school that u might also be seeing soon (one name being jake bidwell) u heard it from me first just remember that

ben rogerscame up from south devon to watch the game last night from the lower gwladys st - 600 mile round trip and a the boy from just down the road (brixham) settled it at the end! From being in and out of the argyle team just over 12 months ago to scoring the winning goal in a merseyside derby - well done dan, keep up the good work mate!

Barry ChallinorThe 2 young lads showed a maturity way beyond their years,especially the way Gosling scored his goal.How often this season has there been no one at the back post for a cross.Thank goodness he knew where to go.
