YAK: BLUES THE BEST

Yakubu says the current Everton side is one of the best he's played in.

The Nigerian hitman's career so far has seen him feature for the Middlesbrough side that reached the Uefa Cup final, the Portsmouth side that comfortably won the Championship and the Maccabi Haifa team that recorded a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the Champions League.

He has also featured for the Nigerian national side that has contained the likes of Kanu and JayJay Okocha over the last few years.

But the Blues' leading scorer says his current team could well be the best he's been involved with.

Yakubu told evertonTV: "I think that at the moment this is one of the best teams that I have ever played in.

"To play in Europe and to have not been beaten yet, and the fact that we have quality players, means that we can get in the (UEFA Cup) final.

"If we keep believing in ourselves and say that we want to be in the final, then I believe we can do it."

The Yak's goals have been key in both domestic and European competition this term, but he insists he feels no pressure in front of goal.

"Some people have two or three chances and don’t take them, but sometimes they’ll only have one chance and they’ll take it," he said.

"I believe whenever I have it, I can score. That is what I want to do because I am a striker and I just enjoy it. I take every game as it comes and whenever I have a chance I believe I can score, so I will keep scoring.

"For me as a striker your job is to score goals and to perform and when I signed I thought I would be under pressure, but I’m not under pressure. I know that if I don’t score then there are people in the team that can score.

"But the fact that we have quality strikers ready to come off the bench, it keeps the pressure in a good way. To me, it’s like training – I just believe in myself and when you score you believe you can score more and you can feel the goals coming."

What a guy, Cant remember the last time we had a striker who looks a good as him in the box. The lad ooses class. After a shaky start, he's really come of age. An adding graft an composure to his goals.

Well in yak, keep it going mate. An lets bring the goblet back to goodison.

Just try an keep your trips to lagos to the end of season...(y)
 
lol. Looks like he's relly enjoying it now at Everton. Great to see that the African thing was just a small blip. Class act
 
He is just ace. Was a bit iffy at first, but he's doing the biz.

I love the way he looked so lazy when smashing his hat trick goal in at Brann. So cool.

He gets The Dude seal of approval (y)
