Jagielka: 'We must take positive approach'

Everton defender Phil Jagielka insists that his side must play positively if they are to stand a chance of sealing a place in Europe next season.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka believes that his side must go on the attack to keep pace with the teams battling for a European place.

The Toffees are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table, two points adrift of Arsenal who hold the final European spot, and Jagielka has insisted that only three points will do in their final nine games.

The 30-year-old told the Liverpool Echo: "We need to win games now.

"If we were to draw, I'm not saying it would be the end of the season but we have to go out ultra-positive and really take it to teams and see how we go. It might make the manager's decision-making a little bit easier.

"The manager can be ultra-positive now and throw the shackles off."

The England international could make his return from injury when Everton play Stoke City on Saturday.
