DAVID Moyes said he felt “insulted” his Everton FC side’s character was questioned before they staged their stunning fight back against Manchester United.
The Toffees showed impressive spirit to peg the title chasing Red Devils back to a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford yesterday, just eight days after they were beaten by rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final.
Moyes and his players had been criticised for their failure to rise to the occasion at Wembley, and the Blues boss was unhappy that some had written his team’s season off.
“I am really disappointed people would question their character,” said Moyes.
“It is a bit insulting because I would hate to think people either wouldn’t understand me or the culture of Everton FC.
“At 4-2, did I think we were going to get back into it? I thought it would be very tough.
“But I felt we would definitely score one more goal, it was whether there would be enough time to get an equaliser.”
Moyes conceded his side enjoyed “a bit of luck” when Patrice Evra’s header came back off the post before the late drama.
