More to come from Drenthe

On-loan midfielder Royston Drenthe has told Everton fans they can expect a lot more from him this season.

"The fans can expect more," he said. "You can show a lot more when you start than when you come in from the bench.

"Of course you can be important when you come in, but always it's a bit harder to get with the pace of the game.

"I did a good job, but for me it's always more important that I do a good job for the team.

"Three points was very important for Everton and when we're not playing at Goodison it's even better to get the win."

"After my goal I ran to Johnny [Heitinga]," he added.

"From the beginning since I came to Everton he's been like my dad and told me what I can do, and who to ask for help. So I said to him, if I score I'm coming to you.

"Before I started to play, the manager killed me in training. He made me run a lot and now I feel really fit and great. That's what I wanted — to be sharp.

"I don't want not to be fit and then come into a game and not be able to handle the pressure. I feel good now.

"I think we've got a really good squad and it's not easy for the manager to make decisions before the game.

"He's the boss, and he makes the decisions. I got my first start, and it was a good feeling."
