David Moyes: Glad to have Darron Gibson available once more

Gibson returned to action in the midweek win over West Brom after spending a month on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

The Irishman played for the final 25 minutes of the game, and is likely to feature again when Everton host Aston Villa on Saturday.

Moyes said: "It was important that we got him a bit of the game. We need him back to add to the numbers and he is in contention for a place.

"I'm glad to get him back out. I don't think we have got a lot of injuries but the minute we get one or two, it can make an indent on us.

"We are trying to keep as many of them fit and I have got to give them credit because they keep going."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.
