Tyrique George made a positive impact for Everton after coming off the bench in the 74th minute of the 2-2 draw at Brentford.
The Chelsea loanee faced a tough task to impress as Brentford went 2-1 ahead just seconds after David Moyes introduced him, but remained positive in possession and ultimately helped Everton snatch a point in the 91st minute through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
After the final whistle, Moyes shared comments on Tyrique George which those over at Stamford Bridge will presumably like to hear.

David Moyes hints at more game time for Tyrique George after positive cameo in Brentford 2-2 Everton
The England U21 international had only played 104 minutes of football for Everton since his deadline day move from Chelsea at the start of February, before the clash against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
However, Moyes has now told George he is a fan of his game, and will look to try and give the winger more playing time in the final six Premier League games.
The Glaswegian said: “I like Tyrique. We’ll try to get him more opportunities and minutes when we can. He’s got good control, he wants to score and you saw that today.”

It was telling that Everton players frequently looked to pass the ball to George – who is likely to return to Chelsea as things stand – when searching for a late equaliser. They clearly trust his ability in possession and appreciate his desire to test the opposition.

Everton have an option to make the loan deal permanent this summer for an undisclosed fee.
So far, the 20-year-old has not played enough football for The Friedkin Group to make a decision on that purchase clause, nor has any other club been able to scout George properly ahead of a potential bid for the Londoner this summer.

Therefore, as Chelsea aim to sell their academy graduate, they will be pleased to hear that Moyes is actively looking to get him more involved at Everton in the business end of the season.
