Jags eyes attacking display

Phil Jagielka thinks Everton will revert to a more attacking approach against Liverpool after a defensive display last weekend.[LNB] The Toffees spent much of the game at the Etihad Stadium defending in an attempt to stifle City's glittering array of attacking players.[LNB]They lasted until the 68th minute before Mario Balotelli's deflected strike put City in front, with James Milner's 89th-minute effort sealing the win for Roberto Mancini's men.[LNB]Merseyside rivals Liverpool arrive at Goodison Park on Saturday with Everton unbeaten in their last four home games and the Reds still smarting from a 4-0 defeat to Spurs in their last away league game.[LNB]With that in mind Jagielka insists the Toffees will go all out to win the fixture - in contrast to their defensive mindset last time out - but is all too aware of the size of the task in front of them.[LNB]"At home we have been doing OK. We changed things around a little bit for the City game, so hopefully we can go back to the way we have been for the Liverpool game and put up a performance and try to get a win," the 29-year-old told the Liverpool Echo.[LNB]"It'll be nice to get back to that. It's still going to be hard against Liverpool, they've had a decent start to the season so we're not pretending we'll be up against a Liverpool that is struggling.[LNB]"They have brought in a lot of good players and a lot of good quality. As much as we say we are looking forward to the derby, we aren't expecting to automatically win it.[LNB]"But we will be trying our best to get three points, whereas against City it was more us looking for a draw and maybe nicking a goal."
