Moyes reflected on the game, saying that he thought Everton played well in the first half and dominated the match for most of the time. However, he acknowledged that the team could have been more clinical in their attack.

Despite not being at their best, Moyes praised the performance of several players, including Harrison Armstrong, who provided two assists. He also commended Jimmy Garner's playing, stating that both players did well and have options for future development.

Moyes expressed his appreciation for the team's effort, considering that Mansfield had recently won four matches in a row and were performing well in the league.
