"Everton have done exceptionally well this season and David Moyes takes all the credit for that.
"It is a young team with a future which augurs well for Everton. They will be a handful and we'll need our best form.
"David has put youngsters on long-term contracts to keep some continuity and made some good buys to strengthen."
