"Yes, at times he has dipped under his best, like all players will do, but so far this season he has been very good."
The 49-year-old praised Osman's attitude, the midfielder having assumed a wide range of roles for Everton over the course of the campaign.
"His performances have been excellent and he really has carried us at times," Moyes enthused. " Whatever we've asked him to do - we've asked him to do different jobs at times - he's done it, he's come up with some important goals and he's had his best season at Everton for me.
"He's been exceptional and I'm delighted he's been given another call-up by England."
