"He sets high standards and we know where we want to be. We've got a few more faces in over the summer and with the quality we have in the squad now, we all agree with the manager - if you want to achieve big things, then you've got to set your standards and your goals high.

Everton have won three consecutive matches across competitions following an opening-day stumble, beating Brighton 2-0, overcoming Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup, and edging Wolves 3-2. Jack Grealish has played a central role in the improved performances, and James Garner scored a notable long-range goal against Brighton. Everton completed their summer business with the signing of Merlin Rohl from Freiburg, bringing total new recruits to nine. David Moyes, who rejoined the club in January, has set high standards aimed at moving the club up the Premier League table. Everton face Aston Villa next, who have one point from nine and added deadline-day signings.
