Just came on in the 70th and nearly scored right away...

The Deulofeu effect, comes in... Everton wins 0-1

 

[Ghost]

A bit too greedy. But a decent performance none the less! I was hoping he'd start though..

 

[DonAK]

He had that mazy run into the box. Almost managed to complete it.

He bobbled that one ball in the box but did nearly score on the earlier run...Thought his overall performance, albeit an brief one, was only fair

A bit lol, messi would scream at this guy more than tello. tremendous technique but, decision making and finishing poor. Hope he's able to get those things right.

Hi guys, Everton fan here. Just thought I'd give you a general Everton fans view on him. Everyone can see he has the talent, his feet are unbelievably quick and when he's in full flow it's fantastic to watch, very much akin to a young Ronaldo when he joined Man U. However he can be very frustrating at times, when playing on the right he obviously favours a few stepovers before heading to the byline to put in a cross - this has been figured out quickly by a few defenders already. Credit to Martinez against Stoke, he realised this and told him to move to the left where he eventually scored from. He just needs to mix it up a bit when one on one.

I know some of you are frustrated he doesn't seem to be starting many games however I think its a case of him adjusting to the pace of the game and a new country/language, but also a case of 'ok you may be a future superstar but you will have to earn your place here'. To be fair to him he doesn't stroll around, he is tracking back and he actually tracked a stoke player into his own half before helping to win the ball back that set up the attack for the 2nd goal, so he is buying into the work ethic. He just needs to make the right decisions at certain times, which will come with playing games.

We hope we are going to see a lot more of him soon, especially over xmas period when there is a lot of games played but so far he is really impressing and if he continues to develop and gain more experience then you have a future world class player on your hands. We are also under the impression that if the loan goes well and everyone is happy with his progress, we can have him for another year. Hopefully this is the case.

The video of his performance got taken down, but I've reuploaded it on Vimeo

He needs to learn to play with his left foot, too predictable. And his ball control when dribbling needs to be tighter.
