EvertonScores goal in victory
Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Burnley.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall buried Everton's second goal against the Clarets around the hour mark, clipping a calm finish past Martin Dubravka after Iliman Ndiaye slipped him through. The midfielder consistently popped up in the pockets between Burnley's midfield and back line, giving Everton a smooth connector from the build-up into the final third. The strike marked his sixth league goal of the season and highlighted his growing impact, as the playmaker also fired a season-high five shots in a strong all-around performance.
Provides assist against Newcastle
Dewsbury-Hall assisted once to go with zero corners and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall played a key role in Everton's win, assisting the decisive goal with a well placed pass for Thierno Barry to finish from close range. Beyond the assist, he was very active creatively and now has five goals and three assists this season from midfield, along with 27 chances created, placing him among the more productive attacking midfielders in the league. His attacking influence should continue into the next fixture against Burnley, who sit 19th, making it a favorable matchup.
11 crosses in Monday's loss
Dewsbury-Hall had one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Monday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall recorded a season-high 11 crosses Monday, however he failed to record accurate cross despite that high volume. He also created one chance and took one off-target shot on the attack. Ultimately it was a disappointing performance for him considering his high volume, so he'll look to bounce back Saturday at Newcastle.
Dribbling effort in loss
Dewsbury-Hall registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall missed his chance to start a scoring streak after recording a goal in his previous outing, but he delivered his best production of crosses over his last six games while adding four fouls drawn and four dribbles (two successful) against the Cherries. He remains one of the top scorers of an inconsistent side, with his five-goal tally now tied by both Iliman Ndiaye and Thierno Barry. The playmaker should be expected to see significant time on the pitch and continue to take corner kicks from the right flank throughout the season.
Scores goal against Fulham
Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Fulham.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall found the back of the net with a left-footed finish from inside the box in the 75th minute, and he also took the corner kick that led to Bernd Leno's own goal in the 83rd minute of the win. The midfielder has made two consecutive starts in a No. 10 role following his recovery from a hamstring issue, giving the squad a considerable offensive boost, and he's now tied with Thierno Barry as the team's top scorer with five goals in league play.
45 minutes against Leeds
Dewsbury-Hall played 45 minutes off the bench during Monday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United. "So, it's nice to get the minutes. That first time back on the pitch is always the toughest, but now I'm hoping to kick on now and help the team."
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall made his way back to the field Monday but was only available from the bench, with the midfielder coming on at halftime. He wouldn't see a whole lot of work in the draw, recording two tackles and two crosses. His return is good news for the club as they will gain back a regular starter, who should return to that role moving forward, with 16 appearances (15 starts) while recording four goals and two assists.
Option Monday
Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's match against Leeds United.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall is fit once again after he was in team training, ending a seven-match absence due to a hamstring injury. He started in every match he was an option for leading up to his injury, and should return to that role, with four goals and two assists this season.
Back in team training
Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) is back in team training, coach David Moyes said in the press conference. "Kiernan is back training. He is certainly getting much closer to it, that's for sure."
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall is getting closer to return from the hamstring injury that made him miss the last seven games across all competitions since he was back in team training this week. This is great news for the Toffees since he shouldn't be far from making his return and it will be a boost to the frontline since he was an undisputed starter as the number 10 prior to his setback.
Resuming partial training
Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) has taken part in light work during recent training sessions, El Bobble reports.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall is still expected to miss a couple of games, though he could be healthy enough to play in February. His return at some point of the season would represent a boost to Everton's creative power, and he could be in contention for starts with Dwight McNeil and Harrison Armstrong while challenging James Garner for set pieces.
Out another few games
Dewbury-Hall (hamstring) has yet to train and is not an option for the club yet, according to manager David Moyes. "They're getting closer, but they're not training yet."
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall is going to have to miss a seventh straight game Sunday, with the midfielder still struggling to return from a hamstring injury he picked up to start December. With the midfielder yet to train but nearing a return, he is likely to get back on the pitch in the next week or two, hoping to be an option by February.
Out unknown amount of time
Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager David Moyes. "Kiernan is doing well but not available for the game. He'll be a big miss for us, but that's what happens at this time of the year - liable to lose players, every club has got injuries and suspensions, so we're no different to anybody else. We have [a timescale], but I'm not telling you."
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall went down last match and is hitting the sidelines as expected, out to face Arsenal due to the hamstring injury. The midfielder was rumored to be out for a month previously, so this will be something to monitor, with their manager not currently ready to give up a timescale for his return. Combined with AFCON absences, Tim Iroegbunam, Carlos Alcaraz and even Tyler Dibling are set to benefit from Dewsbury-Hall being injured.
Rumored month out
Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) is rumored to miss a month with his hamstring injury.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall was forced off with a hamstring injury against Chelsea and is expected to miss a month. This comes at the worst possible time as it means Dewsbury-Hall would be out for one of the busiest parts of the year. Tim Iroegbunam could be in line for more minutes with Dewsbury-Hall on the sideline.
Forced off with injury
Dewsbury-Hall was forced off in the 16th minute of Saturday's match against Chelsea due to an apparent hamstring injury, according to Patrick Boyland of The Athletic.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall would not have a great return to his former club, as the midfielder would only play for 16 minutes before he was pulled from the field with what looked to be a hamstring injury. The club will monitor his situation closely, as he is a regular starter with six goal contributions in 15 appearances this season, hopefully not missing much time. That said, he was replaced by Carlos Alcaraz, a possible replacement if he misses more time, alongside Tim Iroegbaunam.
Scores goal in win
Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall set the tone after barely 90 seconds, driving to the byline and smashing a cross that deflected off Nikola Milenkovic for the 1-0 own goal. He saw a 20-yard strike pushed away by Matz Sels before capping his performance in the 80th minute when he scored the third goal after Jake O'Brien knocked a loose ball back into his path from a corner. Dewsbury-Hall is in a decent form for the Toffees, having contributed three goals and one assist in his last five appearances.
Scores consolation goal
Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-1 loss versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall brought the ball down between two defenders and finished from close range Saturday to give Everton their lone goal in a 4-1 home defeat versus Newcastle. The midfielder has now racked up two goals and one assist across his last three appearances (three starts). Dewsbury-Hall has attempted at least one shot and one cross in each of his last five appearances (five starts).
Scores only goal in 1-0 away win
Dewsbury-Hall scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 win over Manchester United.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall rode the challenge of several Manchester United players to score the only goal as Everton picked up their first win at Old Trafford since David Moyes was the United manager. This was the midfielders' fourth goal involvement of the season and he has picked up a goal and assist in the last two matches.
Assists after disallowed goal
Dewsbury-Hall assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against Fulham.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall picked up his second assist of the season and third goal involvement. This was also the midfielder's first goal involvement since the end of August. He attempted six crosses, which was the fourth time he has reached this number this season. He also attempted six tackles, winning four in the game. He is also the sides' second-highest set-piece taker, just behind James Garner.
Eight crosses Sunday
Dewsbury-Hall generated two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall recorded a season-high eight crosses Sunday, recording two accurate crosses and creating two chances in a solid attacking day for the midfielder. He also took two shots and two corners on the attack. He has been fairly creative so far this season but only has one assist through eight matches this season.
Suspension cleared
Dewsbury-Hall is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall has cleared his suspension for yellow card accumulation and is now available for the next contest. He is expected to return directly to the starting XI in attacking midfield since he has been an undisputed starter for the Toffees this season, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in the first six Premier League matches while recording one goal and one assist.
Suspended for Sunday
Dewsbury-Hall is suspended for Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Dewsbury-Hall won't be an option for Sunday's match with Crystal Palace due to yellow card accumulation. The midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card in as many matches during a one-all draw with West Ham. Carlos Alcaraz could come into attacking midfield in his place for that match.
