Jagielka gives Moyes platform to build on

DAVID MOYES brought up nine years in charge of Everton last week; nine years — and 418 games — that have taught him more than even he probably realises.

The need for a striker, the need for a new stadium, the need for a new this and a new that; Moyes is painfully aware of all those.

However, it is not all gloom despite a season that began with champagne expectations and will now be lucky to finish with a warm glass of vinegar.
