Gerard Deulofeu, 22, has played 368 minutes of Premier League football this season, and hasn’t contributed a goal or an assist yet.

The Spanish Under-21 international did well when on loan at Goodison Park in the 2013/14 campaign, and his technical ability and trickery caused many defenders problems.

But we just haven’t seen that this season.

He has created just six chances, which is well down on most of Everton’s midfield options, and he has had just five shots on goal so far, only three of which have hit the target.

Deulofeu is clearly a very talented player who bags of potential, but Everton fans need to see more of it when he’s on the pitch, especially when they are in need of a creative spark.
