Everton boss Moyes calls for Drenthe to toughen up

Everton boss David Moyes says Royston Drenthe is still to adjust to the culture of the Premier League.

Drenthe was replaced during last week's FA Cup quarter-final with Sunderland for his own protection after he grew frustrated with the number of fouls against him.

Moyes said: "I don't worry that Drenthe goes down too easily.

"It's just that once he does go down he's got to get back up. That's it.

"We can't play with a man short in that period after. We have got to get everybody back.

"He can't be looking and waiting on referees to give him fouls."
