Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on England, Everton Supporters, and Recent Form

The form of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been a big topic of discussion among Everton supporters in recent weeks.

The English midfielder endured a difficult start to the season, but he's certainly bounced back more recently, with many suggesting that he should have earned himself a call-up to the England squad. 

Thomas Tuchel failed to grant Dewsbury-Hall a place in the squad, despite the inexperienced duo Josh King and Jobe Bellingham being included. 

Just hours after Tuchel's squad was confirmed, Dewsbury-Hall found the back of the net with a superb finish against Coventry City. Dewsbury-Hall celebrated by grabbing the badge of his Everton shirt, and also shrugging as if to say 'what more can I do?'. 

"Yeah, it was just a bit of emotion from me. It was a bit of a sad start to the day [to miss out on the England squad] and I'm an emotional guy, so I will celebrate and speak as I feel," Dewsbury-Hall admitted. 

The Everton midfielder's celebration was clearly due to the fact that he wasn't called up to the England squad, and as he suggests, a little emotion came out due to the frustration of not getting the call-up.

Dewsbury-Hall stresses how grateful he is for the Everton supporters, who have been full of praise and support for him, which undoubtedly increased after he failed to gain an England call-up.

"Honestly, the fans have been so good to me. I've had so many nice messages and words of support from them, so it's nice to produce moments like that and enjoy it with them. 

"I'm really grateful for them. I've got a lot of people here backing me and fighting my corner, which makes me feel happy, so I can only thank everyone. 

Dewsbury-Hall's backing has certainly been earned from during his time at Everton. His form over the last few games showed exactly why the Toffes made a move to secure his signature, and hopefully that can continue over the coming years.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on the England squad, Dewsbury-Hall remains focused on helping Everton, and a call-up to his country would be an added bonus.

"I'm just going to keep my head down, keep working hard, control my controllables, and if [an England call-up] happens in future then it happens but I know I'll have given everything. 

"I want to keep winning for this football club – that's all that matters."

The Coventry result topped off a strong week or so for the Toffees. It made it three wins from three for David Moyes' side, with two of those being in the Premier League and the other ensuring they advanced into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. 

Everton head into the international break on a high, and hopefully Dewsbury-Hall will remain motivated later this month to continue performing and give Tuchel something to think about. 

 "I'm pretty sure if you asked every Evertonian at the start of the season, they'd have taken where we are right now," said Dewsbury-Hall.

There certainly wouldn't have been many who expected Everton to be heading into the second international break in sixth position. And as Dewsbury-Hall mentioned, most would have taken that, too.

"We've had three tough games this week, and we've won all three, so it doesn't get much better than that.

"It's a nice feeling. Now we can go into the break, rest and recharge the batteries, and get ready for the next period.

"We've got more tough games coming up but, look, we'll be ready."
