Ian from PA - is Idrissa definitely out for the weekend? Moyes says he is out.On his contract from the situation: "When we have something to tell you we will let you know."Moyes says Tim had cramp on Monday and suggests he is fine for Sunday. Asked about Dibling he says he has a lot of potential: "We like him a lot". Says he has a lot to show next year and hopes he will show it.That is the end of this sectionHow long does he mull over results? Moyes says Monday's stuck 'quite badly'.He doesn't think Everton should have lost against West Ham and thinks the defeat to Liverpool was tough. Those three games - what has happened in stoppage time - has been costly.Target for last three games? Moyes wants Everton to 'play well'. Says a long way off Man City but feels they have been progressive this season and he wants to continue to try and be more exciting. So he wants improvements on the pitch - but he also wants wins.How much as Villa and Palace success made him want to bring European football to Everton? He says he did it with West Ham and it was amazing for everyone at the club. He has been "dreaming all year" he could do that for Everton. He said they finished last season on a high and he would love to do the same again because he wants to keep the positive momentum going.Can you replicate stoppage time scenarios in training?Moyes says he starts by thinking what he could do differently. He says he doesn't liek making subs because of the time refs add on. On Monday, he had no choice because Iroegbunam was injured. He says the ref was in his rights to play that additional time on Monday. But he does think players need more concentration and says it wasn't necessary for three players to chase the ball up the pitch when Everton cleared late on.Giulia of the BBC-how do you balance rotation? Moyes says handling the expectations of players is a big p;art of management. Says you need to be able to deliver bad news well and also for players to understand why you are making certain decisions. He says Tim and Merlin are "terrific boys". He thinks people are just starting to see what Merlin can do - adds Everton are still trying to work out how most effectively to use him.Simon from PLP now, asking whether Everton have looked at why they conceded so late on against City. Moyes says to an extent, he says it mostly comes down to decisions by the players: "Quite often as the manager you are hoping they get more decisions right on the pitch than wrong."He remains disappointed not to have won - or held on in other games.On Barry v Beto he points to Beto's recent form then accepts the strikers have made him think about who to start all through the season.Could they start together? "Maybe, but you need to change quite a few bits and pieces for that to happen."If it is a "must win situation" he would try and get as many attacking players on the pitch as possible.He is pleased he has three players on 8 goals in the league but thinks he needs more goals. It is the first time in the Premier League Everton have had three players hit that number in the league in the same year. Moyes wants more.Moyes says there is no news on Grealish but says "Jack is loved everywhere he goes and he is certainly loved here".He says the next three games won't change his approach to the summer dramatically. He is pretty "set" on his plans - though accepts Europe would alter that slightly. Suggests the club do with more academy players pushing for promotion.Moyes wants to use the summer to build on this season. Asked whether Palace might present an opportunity on Sunday after their ECL final qualification, he says it is not as simple as that. He says but adds "I am hoping that CP are finding they have some effects".He praises the Eagles for their achievement and congratulates Olivier Glasner on the work he has done at Palace.Alan starts by asking Moyes about Monday night - what does he think of that second half display?Moyes was very pleased but games are about two halves and they have to do well in both: "I probably still am disappointed we didn't see the game out."He thinks Iroegbunam and Rohl have given him something to think about all season, so their displays on Monday does not change the picture for them. They did play well in the week, he said.On Idrissa, he is not in training but Moyes says the injury is not serious and they hope to have him back soon.That Jeremy Doku equaliser was brutal in the context of this question but Everton are still in the hunt for Europe. They could really do with a win at Selhurst Park to give themselves a chance.The permutations are so complex it is impossible to be definitive, but Chris Beesley has attempted to explain what Aston Villa's win last night means for the Blues. Take a look hereThat is probably the biggest question set to be put to David Moyes today. The midfielder missed out against Man City with what the club said was a knock suffered in training.I asked Moyes for details on this after City and he opted to provide none. With just three games left it would not take much for him to be out for the rest of the season. Given he is out of contract in the summer (albeit the club has the option to extend by a further month) there would then be a chance he has played his last game for the club. Not sure how far we will get on that subject today.Hello everyone, Joe Thomas here signing in from Finch Farm. The sun was just starting to poke through the clouds when I pulled up earlier. I'm parked among the ground maintenance staff today because the car park is full.The U21s are here training and I saw a few nice goals from the youngsters before heading into the main building.Might be slightly quieter here today given this press conference overlaps with Arne Slot's. Most of the Mersey-wide reporters, well probably all of them, will be over in Kirkby.I'm here though, along with Alan Myers for Sky and Giulia Bould for the BBC. Press Association and the Times also have representation here and there is plenty of time for others to join.It was a mometous evening for Crystal Palace last night as they secured their place in theUEFA Conference League final.The Palace players' reward was a well-earned day off.But their manager, Oliver Glasner, has no doubt they will soon be back focused on Everton.He said: "I just gave them tomorrow off. We had a bad experience after the first leg against Shakhtar, we trained the next day and they weren't sharp.“Maybe this will help when they are out somewhere in London."I said to the players that we won't wave the white flag against Everton but I think it's important they enjoy themselves, rest and we will meet on Saturday to prepare for Everton. It's about getting everything planned in the right way.”
