Steven Pienaar ready to step up another gear - Everton boss David Moyes
Steven Pienaar in action against River Plate 460[LNB]DAVID MOYES today hailed Steven Pienaar's blistering early season form - but then confidently predicted there is even better to come.[LNB]The South African international has been Everton's star man for the past six months and his two most recent displays in the wins over AEK Athens and Blackburn have shown that he is at the top of his game.[LNB]But while Everton's manager is delighted that those inventive performances are ensuring Mikel Arteta is not being too badly missed during his injury enforced absence, Moyes is adamant Pienaar can get better again.[LNB]He wants to see the former Ajax star add more goals like the one he rifled in against the Greeks to his game and keeping driving the Blues forward with his insatiable appetite for hard work. [LNB]And if Pienaar can do that, Moyes knows a wider audience will become aware of the little 27-year-old's considerable talents.[LNB]'I think Steven is ready to go up another gear,' said Moyes. 'He could go on and stamp his authority on games by making goals, scoring them and making more final, telling passes.[LNB]'That's what I'm looking for him to do now. When you see him play for South Africa, he takes a lot of responsibility for his team.[LNB]'He has got a lot of their hopes as a nation on his shoulders. It's like Joseph Yobo - he has got a lot of that in Nigeria and Tim Cahill has the same with Australia.
