Moyes warns against Jo hopes

Everton manager David Moyes has told fans not to have unrealistic expectations about on-loan striker Jo. The Brazilian moved from CSKA Moscow to Manchester City in the summer of 2008 but struggled to make an impact at Eastlands and made a temporary switch to Merseyside at the end of the January transfer window.The 21-year-old scored two goals on his Everton debut against Bolton but Moyes says he still has a long way to go to become a top Premier League striker. "I don't want everyone to expect too much from him because he found it difficult at Manchester City for six months of the season," the Scottish manager said.Value"It is certainly not going to turn and everything be great for him here, even if it looked that way in his last game."In the first few days he came here I could see why he wouldn't be pushing for a starting place anywhere. But I think the longer I have gone on I have started to see why he is a player with such a value. "We would have liked to have taken it steady. A lot has been said about him after his two goals so I hope he can do it again."You would hope he would be champing at the bit - he scored two goals and then had to sit out the next game because he is cup-tied."Hopefully we will see that much more from now until the end of the season."InfluentialThe Goodison Park boss has also backed current captain Phil Neville to have a successful career as a manager.Moyes says the former Manchester United player has set an example for Everton's promising youngsters to follow."I know top players like Phil sometimes don't make managers, but he has all the attributes to go on and become a top coach," he told the Daily Mail."I don't think it is possible to over-estimate the influence he has on our recent run, or on our squad overall."What he does often goes unnoticed but he has played a major part in what we've achieved because he shows the other players what is required."He has been at a club who have won things, so he knows what it takes. He is professional in everything he does and he makes sure we all do it the right way."
