David Moyes has expressed sympathy for Arne Slot after the Liverpool manager was sent off following the Merseyside derby.
Slot received a red card after a heated exchange with referee Michael Oliver in the aftermath of the match.
The Dutch manager was frustrated with the amount of added time, which saw James Tarkowski score a last-minute equalizer in the 98th minute, securing a 2-2 draw.
In the days since, Slot has admitted he regrets his actions.
Everton manager David Moyes, reflecting on the incident, shared his perspective, noting that it was the kind of situation he found himself in frequently during his younger years.
“I feel a bit for Arne Slot too because it is the sort of thing I was always getting involved in when I was a younger manager,” Moyes said.
“It tells me that he cares a lot about his club and is fighting for his players.”
Reflecting on the game as a whole, Moyes added: “We are smiling.
“We were smiling with a minute to go in the game.
“We took a point from the game but not three.
“But we are also realistic that we got something from a game that was difficult to get anything at all.
“That made it a little bit more special and it has given us a good feeling.”
“I get asked these sort of questions quite a lot and I’ve been fortunate recently to play a European semi-final and final.
“At the moment, it’s a different situation for me here.
“Every game you play as a manager is your biggest game.
“It always is because you could be fighting for you job, to stay up, a league title or European places.
“It’s difficult to decide which game is bigger than the other.
“At the moment, it feels like a really big game.
“When you are a new manager, you hope to make a good start.
“You want get the crowd on your side and I think we have done that.”
