David Moyes has surveyed his Everton team’s manic March and insisted: “Bring it on.”
The Toffees must endure a tough fixture pile-up that sees them follow today’s visit to relegation haunted QPR with another SIX games before the end of the month.
And they are no run-of-the-mill matches either, with a crucial FA Cup quarter-final against Sunderland sandwiched between massive clashes with the likes of Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Such a programme has most Premier League bosses launching angry attacks on the schedulers.
But not Moyes, who said: “We have got a terrible schedule coming up, but to be fair I wish we’d had a hectic schedule all year.
“I’m not bleating about it. Hectic schedules usually mean you’re involved in lots of cup games, and that’s what we want here.”
But Moyes admits he has a big job on his hands coping without the likes of Phil Jagielka, Nikica Jelavic and Jack Rodwell, who are all on the comeback trail.
He added: “We’re going to need players back because of our schedule. But my worry is getting them match fit and up to speed quickly for the month ahead.”
