Tyrique George has said he is ready to embrace the competition at Everton for a first-team place this season.<\/p>\n
George was handed a start for the opening win over Crystal Palace<\/a> on Saturday and produced an impressive performance in the 2-0 success at Hill Dickinson Stadium.\u00a0No player had more shots (5) or more dribbles (3) than George across his 84 minutes on the pitch.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old started just one league game last season, after arriving on an initial loan deal from Chelsea in January, but hopes he has done enough to convince David Moyes that he can be a regular.\u00a0<\/p>\n George said he was happy with his individual performance against Palace, and says the squad has ‘healthy competition’ in attacking areas.\t\t <\/p>\n “It’s a good start \u2013 to get three points was really nice, but now we want to continue that positive feeling,” George told evertonfc.com.<\/a><\/p>\n “I’m happy [with my performance]. I want to be direct, I want to beat my defender. I want to keep it going. We’ve got top talent in the squad. Ili [Ndiaye], of course, was really good with his assist and his performance. It’s healthy competition.<\/p>\n “We’ve got quite a few young players in the squad, but I feel like we can all handle ourselves well.<\/p>\n “I definitely think I’m improving with every game. It gives me confidence. Obviously, I want to impress \u2013 the manager, the fans. I want to show what I can do consistently.”<\/p>\n \t\u00a0<\/p>\n Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission.

If we got Grealish back he would just slow the play down. No, just play this kid. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted \n Paul, agree. It’s all about confidence, more game time. Credit to the lad <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Posted After the early shakiness the whole team showed more confidence and no more was it apparent than in George who really showed some of the talent we all wanted to see. We all hope that the performances of all the players is an omen of things to come as I am sure Palace will be troublesome to many opponents.<\/p>\n KDH and Ndiaye were tremendous and their guile rubbed off on young Armstrong who surely is a real diamond.<\/p>\n Some of them will get a well earned rest for the Preston game. <\/p>\n
