David Moyes claims he has cleared Andrew Johnson's name against
accusations of diving by launching a video campaign.
The Everton boss, who has regularly had to fend off criticism of
Johnson this season, feels his striker has been unfairly singled
out.
Everton have compiled a video showing ten clips of debatable
incidents that have not gone their way this season and have sent
the video off to be reviewed by footballing authorities.
They have been informed that eight of the ten incidents should have
been penalties, and Moyes believes this proves Johnson's
innocence.
"We set out to clear Andy's name and I believe we have done that,"
he said.
"The last thing I want to do is moan and complain about decisions
that have gone against us but we have got to a stage here when it
is more than just moaning.
"We have a Christmas video of many incidents that have not gone our
way and we have included in that the Reading goal last weekend
which was clearly offside.
"We have also had, in the game against Blackburn, an incident when
the ball is punched off Lee Carsley's head and we did not get the
penalty.
"Now we have done something about it. We have had the correct
people in here to see it and I have got to say that of 10 incidents
shown of possible penalties, we were told by the correct people
that eight of those are definite penalties and the other two were
very close.
"Why is it always Andy? Maybe people talk too much, people on radio
stations and other managers, people have too much to say
sometimes."
