David Moyes believes that Jarrad Branthwaite can realize his English ambitions in Everton and do not have to leave Goodison Park to impress Thomas Tuchel.
There were reports this week that the defender was disappointed that he had been omitted from the first team of Tuchel and then considered his future over Merseyside.
But Moyes, who brings the recovered toffees to Buren Liverpool tomorrow night, pointed out that several other players have been in England while playing for Everton.
Moyes said: “I would tell him that Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Joleon Lescott – are three that we brought in and became international players for England, which was a big achievement.
“I think Jarrad is in a position where he can easily go on and can do that. I see it as a challenge for Jarrad to pick up and say,” Come on, I’m going to show what I can do “.
“This club has developed quite a few internationals in England over the years. We have a very good keeper [Jordan Pickford] who also plays for England. ‘

He added: “It [the stats] Says that the club and certainly the team have a better process than before. We started very well. The players did a great job.
“There is a lot that can be said about a new manager who comes in and I know it is our job to let them play, but I have to say that the players picked themselves up immediately, they turned the whole place – the crowd and the support – and they went on their way, which has been really good.
“In fact, we were a bit disappointed about a few of the draws there that we did not win any victories.
“There may have been a few draw that we could have been lucky with, but in general I think the players have everything they have earned.
“They have the results and we want to maintain it.”

Moyes chases the first Anfield victory as Everton Boss
Moyes, who also managed Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham in the top flight, has no good record against Liverpool and wins only six of the 43 meetings with the Reds.
And he is desperate to claim a first Anfield victory tomorrow night that is in charge of Everton.
“It would be huge for us as a club to get that, because it is not something that the club has done particularly often [either]”He said.” It has always been difficult. I have had a few draws there, which I remember correctly, but it is always difficult. It is not only us, it is difficult for many clubs in the Premier League to go there and get a result. “
