“Feeling the best I’ve ever felt” - Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on his recent purple patch | OneFootball

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is going through a wonderful run of form and says he’s “feeling the best” he’s ever felt.

Dewsbury-Hall has been nominated for the Premier League player of the month in November and his purple patch has elevated Everton’s game. The Blues have won four of their last five games, including a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

Dewsbury-Hall’s cross was turned in for an own goal inside two minutes and he wrapped up all three points with his third goal in four games, 10 minutes before the end. Sandwiched in between was Thierno Barry’s maiden goal just before half-time.

"I came to Everton for a reason. I saw something that looked pretty special to me. It's a nice project and I'm glad that it's starting to feel this good now,” Dewsbury-Hall said after the game.

"Obviously, joining a new club, you want to fit in and now I'm starting to feel like I'm really settled. I'm feeling the best I've ever felt, so long may that continue and I'm just happy that I'm contributing to the team getting points and getting up the table.

"I think, apart from the blip against Newcastle, it feels like we're playing some good stuff and we're really clicking. Credit to the lads because I thought today we were really good today, apart from 10 minutes in the first half. I thought we were the dominant team and they didn't cause us many problems and we were aggressive and created chances.

"It's been a great week – two wins, two clean sheets, so you can't ask for much more.”

Asked to elaborate on his feelings, the Blues midfielder responded, "I'd say because of the way I've been treated since I came through the door. The way the fans have taken to me has been so humbling and I'm really thankful to them – and also the manager and the players.

"They want me to go and express myself and that's what you want as a player – get in that flow-state of confidence and I feel like I'm in that space now. Now it's about keep making sure that I'm doing the right things, keeping level-headed and keeping it going."

He is a class player, he shows it in most if not all games.He knows he is going to start every week which is going to keep any player happy.

I did say 'honest' that I thought he would prove to be a more valuable player than Jack when Grealish was getting all the attention. That's a little tough on Grealish, I know, but Dewsbury-Hall is more involved in games because he's in the middle.

I think there's more to come from Jack. I'd like him to be taking on defenders more and going for goal himself.

Based on the games, he looks better in the box-to-box position than Number 10.

All but two of his passes were forward yesterday, hes a good engine and is scoring/creating from a position that we've been crying out for years.

Ndiaye looked more dangerous in the Number 10 position, than stuffed out wide right.

One of the hallmarks of a decent side is when goals are coming from all departments, and not depending on the striker. Good job we aren't, or we'd be keeping Wolves company!

Very unselfish of Ndiaye to put Barry's goal on a plate when he could have so easily scored himself. Hope he stays with us, as Garner, Rohl and Grealish.

A cheeky bid for Mangala as well as a right-back and striker in January?

I hope Moyes sticks with the midfield trio of Dewsbury-Hall, Garner and Alcaraz in midfield. It is far more attacking orientated and we know Dewsbury-Hall prefers the box-to-box role.

Sometimes it takes something like Gana to be sent off to try something different which works. That is not to say a more defensive set-up is not preferable against some teams but let's stick with this formation for the Chelsea game.

Paul (5) Yes fair enough Paul but please don’t leave Gana out of the squad v Chelsea he is still a very good member of it and could be needed even for one game— it’s a 16 man game now.
