Moyes Praises Saha

Everton boss David Moyes intends to wrap striker Louis Saha in cotton wool to try to bring the best out of him this season.

Saha made an eye-catching Everton debut as a half-time substitute on Sunday, playing an influential role as the Toffees fought back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw at Hull.

Moyes said: "He made a difference to the way we played, I'm glad to get him out. I think if I had started him he would have been happy, but I felt the best way was to bring him on slowly.

"I said when we signed him if we could get him fit for at least half the games this season, I'm sure he could win us some points - that's what we're hoping for. He's gone about his work well and quietly, there's no doubt there is a very talented footballer there.

"Everybody I have spoken to has told me that and there were signs for half a game that he can offer us that.
