“Couple hungry people on here… I wasn’t lying though,” he said.
This comes in response to a post that shared his comments from an interview on just how good Everton supporters have been to him.
“I’ve had a couple of walks around Liverpool and there’s so many fans. I feel like there’s way more Everton fans in Liverpool,” Dewsbury-Hall said back in December.
Dewsbury-Hall has thrived under Moyes at Everton and that has shown through his impressive returns.
Despite suffering an injury over the winter, the 27-year-old has still offered Everton six goals and five assists in the Premier League alone.
With European qualification on the radar, it is clear Dewsbury-Hall is going to have a key role to play in guiding the Blues in these final seven games.
