Show you're best, Moyes tells Howard

Jul 29 2006

By Ian Doyle In Dallas, Daily Post

DAVID MOYES has challenged Tim Howard to prove he is still one of the Premiership's best goalkeepers. The Everton manager has been impressed by the United States international following his arrival this summer from Manchester United on a season-long loan. Moyes has urged the 27-year-old to rediscover the fine form of his debut season at Old Trafford, the broadest hint yet that Howard will start the season as Everton's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Richard Wright. "We are delighted to have Tim on board this season," said the Everton manager. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "He hasn't had a lot to do so far, but he has done well in what he has had to do. He gives us competition in the goalkeeping position and he'll be given his chance. "A couple of years ago he was one of the best goalkeepers in the Premiership, and this will be a big year for him to show he can do it again," he added. Moyes, though, has also moved to praise Wright for his application during pre-season and their present United States tour in particular.
