Everton manager David Moyes has been impressed with the improvements he has already seen this season, with one of his players
There has certainly been room for improvement at Everton over the opening 11 games of the Premier League campaign.
Moyes was able to ease some of the mounting pressure ahead of the international break with three big points against Fulham at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
It was a resounding victory for the Blues, with Everton fans giving Thierno Barry a standing ovation after he was replaced by Beto in the latter stages of the game.
James Garner is another player who has impressed massively this season despite not getting the recognition from Thomas Tuchel.
Impressive displays were seen across the board, but there is one player who Moyes thinks is going seriously under the radar this season on Merseyside.

David Moyes left so impressed by Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Having only signed a matter of months ago, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has praised Everton supporters as some of the best.
Some doubts crept in over his recent performances, but the 27-year-old silenced any doubters in his last outing against Fulham.

It was a performance which really impressed Moyes, who told the Everton media team just how the former Chelsea midfielder has improved his starting XI.
“He’s made us a much better footballing team; he’s made us much more careful in how we build and how we play,” said Moyes.
High praise from the manager. 🗣️👏

“He’s made such a difference to the team. He’s made us more creative and, sort of, cultured in the way we play.
“He might be going under the radar a wee bit – he’s playing so well. He does the work; he covers big distances for us. He’s an intelligent boy, as well. He wants the team to do well, and he’s certainly helped us play better.”
Dewsbury-Hall did suggest he was playing out of position slightly as Everton’s number 10, but the playmaker shone in the game before the international break.
A big game away to Manchester United is next up for the Blues and there will be little doubt over who will be playing in the middle of Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish as the 10.
Dewsbury-Hall could offer even more with a prolific striker
Everton News understands that Everton will be heading into January looking for a new striker to answer their current struggles.
Not having a striker who can convert the chances created by the likes of Dewsbury-Hall will have affected the number of assists Everton’s creative players have returned.
Last week, Everton News revealed that Everton have been scouting Troy Parrott during his games for both club and country.
Is Troy Parrott the perfect January signing for Everton?
If Everton were able to bring in a striker who the creative players can continue to feed in front of goal, Dewsbury-Hall could quickly increase his number of assists returned.
A big January awaits the Toffees, who could also improve a number of their current players by signing a quality striker.
