West Ham manager Alan Curbishley:
"Everton are a very strong side and they make it difficult and work ever so hard.

"They were sharper and more physical than us and we know what we are up against when they come back here.

"That is something we have got to think about for the weekend, because they were definitely better at that than us."

Freddy Adu · 12-15-2007, 04:35 AM

Everton manager David Moyes:
"We are going into a period where a lot of things will be decided and we need to hang on to the shirt-tails of the teams above us and not get too far away.

"If we are in the next round of the Uefa Cup and the Carling Cup we have to also make sure we maintain our league form.

"The reason we are in the Uefa Cup this year is because we finished sixth last year and we have to try and do it again."

Freddy Adu · 12-15-2007, 04:35 AM
