One of the topics Moyes discussed was striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, whose current contract is set to expire this summer. There have been reports that he might not be offered a new contract after the season. Moyes said it would be unfair to judge Calvert-Lewin too harshly, as he has not been fully fit for most of the season due to lack of training with the team.
Moyes pointed out that the pressure to perform comes not from him, but from the Everton fans, who have their own expectations of Calvert-Lewin's performance over the years. Moyes will make the final decision about the striker's future, but Calvert-Lewin needs to show that he can consistently perform and stay fit to play.
Moyes acknowledged that Calvert-Lewin has qualities that make him a valuable player, but he needs to demonstrate these qualities in games to prove himself. The manager mentioned that Calvert-Lewin has shown promise when given opportunities, such as scoring a goal against Tottenham.
Moyes was asked how Calvert-Lewin can prove himself in the remaining weeks of the season, and he said that the striker needs to be prepared to train and play consistently, showing his worth to the team.
Moyes also spoke about the team's contract situation, mentioning that they are working behind the scenes to manage the departures of several players who will leave the club for free at the end of the season.
