David Jones

He had everything in his game.

I thought he ran it.

He was exceptional.

Fortunate as well.

He sometimes needed a bit of luck, but I think Ashley called it from before the game about how good he is.

important for Everton to keep hold of him going forward?

Yeah, of course it is.

I think there's talk that his contract's run up at the end of the season.

So, of course, they need to do everything they can to possibly keep hold of him.

It'd be a massive loss if he was to go.

But I think, especially in the last few weeks, he's stepped up massively.

When Idrissa Gane's gone off to AFCON, missing his experience, Jimmy stepped up.

Like I say, he's been fantastic.

He was again today.

The calm influence he's had.

He had a role that was next to him and Harrison Armstrong in front of him as well today.

He was so calm on the ball.

you know he's got that he looks so laid back but he you know he's a fantastic footballer and um you know it's not a bad performance to do in front of the uh england manager as well uh just before we go uh you're a former teammate of michael carrick so let me just ask you about yesterday and the win in the manchester derby and how you think michael carrick himself has carried himself the last week you know carers has has always been the same whether it be a player or as a manager he's so calm and laid back and

I think he would be telling the players that exactly that way.

Forget the noise that's surrounding the club and just go out and perform.
