Moyesy says: “I’ve experienced defeats before but I don’t think I’ve ever felt lower than I do now. But it’s not just about me, we are all in it together and I’m sure the supporters are just shattered by the performance we have put in tonight. I haven’t got a real answer to that, maybe we ran out of legs in the second half but I certainly didn’t expect that scoreline at half-time. I felt as though we deserved to be in front at half-time, never mind level. We were hopeful of a good result. I have said plenty to them(the fans) in the past but tonight I don’t think that any words I give them would be good enough.”

Skipper Davie Weir says: "I am not sure that we need to speak about what went wrong now but it's not acceptable and we're very disappointed. We fell apart and we're really sorry for the fans. We'll do our best to turn the tie around." Davey Speaks on Piss Poor Performance

* Hundreds of Everton fans have been left stranded at John Lennon Airport, after the collapse of the airline leased to take them to Bucharest. The flight was originally scheduled to take off at 8:30am, but by 1:30pm, the fans were told to pack up and go home, after the stewards had left the building. Police were called, as the fan's voiced their disapproval, as they had been led a merry dance all morning. More to follow as it comes through, but once aging Everton's admin have not covered themselves in glory. Fans had paid £300 for the trip, but it could end up costing the Blues more in the long run. More Details     What The Fans Say

Defo out are PK, Pisto, Nace and Cars. Beattie flew out with the squad today after a run out with the Rezzies last night. Neville is back in the squad after suspension. Moyesy will wait till the last minute to pick the team.

Moyesy says: “James played 45 minutes for the reserves last night. We thought he needed a bit of match practice, he has been out for four weeks. He feels his toe still isn’t right and we will now need to give him the required rest to get himself right. We didn’t expect it because he trained Thursday, Friday last week. He wasn’t ready to play but because of a lack of numbers we put him on the bench and he got on. He trained Monday and Tuesday and we put in the reserves for half the game but he still doesn’t feel it is right, so there was no point in bringing him.” (15/09/05)

Moyesy says: "I want to get a run in the competition because I don't want the success we had last year to go out of the window by the end of September. We fought tooth and nail to get into the Champions League and finished fourth. We want that to continue. We know the effort we put into that would be wasted if we went out of Champions League and then the UEFA Cup. It is hard not to talk and think about Villarreal because getting to that level was so long in coming. I can still feel the tingle I got from both games. I am sore at what happened but we have got to move on. I want us to go through so we can use the UEFA Cup as experience in years to come and be better at it." (14/09/05)

Moyesy took Alan Irvine with him to watch Dinamo beat FCM Bacau 6-0 last Sunday.

Moyesy says: "They were very offensive and while I am not so sure how good the opposition were on the night, they have got some very good attacking players and they like to get forward. Every year, they are always in one of the European competitions and they have got a little bit more experience than we have at the minute. The stadium is poor and there is a big running track around it. There are no stands but the fans are still quite hostile. It is not like anything we have experienced before, not even the Villarreal trip or anything we may have experienced in any Premier League game. We know it will be a tough game. We need to come away from Bucharest with a good result and we would like to try and score there to give us a chance when we come back to England. The away goal is very important now. We want to go there and make sure we give ourselves a real chance in the second leg. They look like a very good home side and they are certainly capable of causing us problems. We will need to be on guard." (14/09/05)

Dinamo coach Iaon Andone says: "I believe in our chance. We can qualify further. We must take advantage of the fact that Everton are in a bad shape right now. But we still need some luck. I've found a lot about Everton in the recent past. I hope they won't give us any more surprises. The score obtained with FCM Bacau (6-0 win) is a little bit high before a confrontation into European cups, but it's important that we've played very good.” (13/09/05)
