Jagielka not setting targets

EVERTON defender Phil Jagielka feels it is important to finish the season strongly but insists overhauling Liverpool or reaching Europe are not the prime aims.

The England international believes Europa League qualification is out of reach despite the Toffees’ recent resurgence and does not want to overplay a potential late-season fight for position with the club’s arch-rivals.

Seventh-placed Everton kept the pressure on Liverpool above them with a convincing 2-0 win over Blackburn in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.
