Dewsbury-Hall’s Praise For George & Merseyside Derby Message

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has praised the impact of former Chelsea teammate Tyrique George during Everton’s 2-2 draw at Brentford on Saturday – and says the Toffees will need the whole squad to contribute as they approach the season run-in.

Dewsbury-Hall was involved in the game's key moment last time out, netting a 91^st-minute equaliser to earn a point at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Everton’s second-half display was boosted by the arrival of substitute George, who provided plenty of pacy creativity upon his introduction on 76 minutes.

“I thought he was a real threat when we came on,” Dewsbury-Hall told evertontv. “He had a couple of good shots, he was driving at his man.

“And look, we are going to need him, definitely for the rest of the games – and other people. It’s not just going to be the 11 who are on the pitch.

“I know what he’s like. When he’s got confidence, when he knows he’s up against his man one-v-one, he’s always going to go at him.

“And I say, ‘Look, just keep doing it. Keep doing it because you’ll create chances'. And he did in the final 20 minutes of the game.

“So, he’s working hard. He’s definitely not sulking. He’s working hard and it shows when he comes on in the game and makes an impact.”
