In an in depth interview, Jake O'Brien says he's glad to be given the opportunity to "show what he can do" under manager David Moyes after experiencing a frustrating first half of the season:
"I'm just happy to play my part in whichever role he wants me to play. I'm happy that it's two wins in two now.
I knew it was always going to be different. I suppose when you look at me, you don't think of a full-back, but I have qualities where I can defend one on one and bring the ball out, as well. So I think I can be natural and just express myself. [Everton FC]
