Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Everton’s recent away victory against Fulham saw midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall play a pivotal role, scoring one goal and forcing a freak own goal by Bernd Leno. The performance was witnessed by England manager Thomas Tuchel, adding further significance to Dewsbury-Hall’s display. This season, Everton has been striving to move away from the relegation battles of recent years, with manager David Moyes emphasizing the club’s potential for European competition.
David Moyes said: “Absolutely [he’s reached my expectations]. He said he would score me goals, so we’ve certainly not been disappointed with him. We’ve been so, so pleased with him. I hope he keeps doing it. I think he’s still got a little bit to do to get to where he was [before the injury].”
Moyes continued: “This club should never have been in that position. It is too big, too strong of a club. We should be talking about the other end of the league. I’d rather the talk be about European places and not relegation places. Probably the history of the club recently has been relegation places. I think we would all quite enjoy that talk about European places.”
He added: “We have got to try to turn our away form into good home form. We are always looking to see what it may well be. We have a great new stadium; the sooner we start getting used to it, the better.”
Everton’s away form has been a standout feature this season, with the team amassing 21 points on the road. However, their home performance has not mirrored this success, and Moyes is keen to address this disparity. The club’s move to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium is seen as a fresh start, with the manager hopeful that the team will quickly adapt to their new surroundings.
The ambition to compete for European places is a significant shift from the club’s recent history of battling relegation. Moyes, along with Everton’s management, is focused on building a squad capable of challenging at the top end of the Premier League table.
The Liverpool Echo, through its dedicated Facebook page, continues to provide in-depth analysis and updates on Everton’s progress, both on and off the pitch. As the team transitions into a new era with the Hill Dickinson Stadium and Everton Women entering Goodison Park, the club is poised for exciting developments.
