Everton boss David Moyes on some of his players having to play out of position recently as they prepare to face Newcastle United
Finch Farm, Liverpool, UK

00:00For yourself, David, at the minute, obviously you want your best players on the pitch at any given time,
00:04but when a player is natural in a position and left out for someone who isn't natural in that position,
00:10how much of that is a wake-up call to your home for them to raise their levels?
00:15I don't quite understand your question, but you can ask me again.
00:20Obviously with Jared playing left-back, for instance, or Harrison playing out on the left-hand side,
00:25there are players who can come in who are natural in that position.
00:28If those players are being left out, are you asking for them, look, your levels need to be that much
00:33higher?
00:34No, not really. I think it's the first time we've probably had enough players to rotate and try things.
00:39Jared Bransway is as comfortable at left-back as he is at centre-back.
00:44I think I mentioned on TV earlier, quite often when you're a young midfield player, central midfield player,
00:49you find your way into the first team, probably playing off the sides.
00:53I think Mikel Arteta, when he came here, probably had to do the same thing.
00:57And I mentioned, you know, when you're a young centre-back, quite often you find your way of getting into
01:00the team,
01:01starting at full-back because that's where you are.
01:04That's where you're put because you're probably not physically and all the levels ready to do it in the big
01:11positions.
01:11So it's part of it. Harrison, it's a great development for him, getting plenty of games.
01:17Jared Bransway, as I said, is comfortable in both positions.
01:19So it's easy. And we've also got enough players to rotate around a little bit.
01:23Jared Bransway, as I said, is comfortable in both positions.
01:23Jared Bransway, as I said, is comfortable in both positions.
