Everton skipper Jagielka: Barkley still has long way to go

Everton skipper Phil Jagielka says teammate Ross Barkley is far from the finished article.

Barkley's progress is impressing Toffees team-mate Jagielka.

"I have answered quite a lot of questions about Ross," he said. "He has had a good start to the season.

"We have all wanted Ross to kick on and it seems like he is progressing sort of mentally and physically as a footballer at the moment.

"It was a fantastic performance. It was nice for him to get an assist and the general performance, but he is still the same player - he is still hungry to play.

"He has got a long way to go yet but it is nice that he is progressing along nicely."
