Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has admitted Tyrique George has not been sulking despite his lack of Everton opportunities.
George made a rare appearance from the bench on Saturday against Brentford and showed the problems he can cause defenders.
Having joined in the summer, George has failed to make much of an impact at Everton, with his opportunities under David Moyes few and far between.

“I thought he was a real threat when we came on. He had a couple of good shots, he was driving at his man,” he told evertontv.
“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.”
Moyes hinted at handing George more opportunities, which is going to be needed if he is to earn a permanent move this summer.
“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,” he added.
“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.”
George needs an opportunity to earn Everton transfer
Signing George in January as an option to deal with Jack Grealish’s injury was a good move from the club.
However, the youngster has been made to watch from the sidelines for most of his time on Merseyside.
Everton want to see more from George before they make their decision on his long-term future.
The youngster simply has not been handed the minutes required to put in any consistent performances in the side, though.
What Everton fans saw at the weekend was extremely positive, but earning the trust of Moyes on a regular basis will take some doing.
