Tyrique George's England U21 display had one glaring issue for Everton despite impressive numbers
Tyrique George may have hampered his hopes of a starting spot at Everton.
The 20-year-old faces competition for the left wing spot from Jack Grealish, who signed for the Blues on loan again on deadline day.
George has played five Premier League games so far, with one goal, a stunning strike in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
He featured for 51 minutes in England Under-21's 4-2 win in their U21 European Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan on Friday.
He helped Lee Carsley's side secure victory after coming on in the 39th minute to replace Jamie Gittens.
David Moyes will be concerned by one particular aspect of his showing away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
How did Tyrique George perform in England Under-21 win?
The Toffees may have noticed a glaring issue from George's latest showing for the young Lions after the data emerged.
He attempted six crosses, but was only successful with one of them, which is far from ideal.
His performance was great, with two shots, two key passes and a 91 per cent pass accuracy, according to Sofascore data.
The former Chelsea man also completed seven of his nine dribble attempts, for a success rate of 77 per cent.
Defensively, he was not afraid to help out, with two recoveries and one interception.
He also managed to win seven out of 11 ground duels, for a 63 per cent success rate.
Why Everton will be concerned by his latest display
Moyes will not be afraid to throw George into action, as he proved he can step up in the United game.
However, with Grealish in front of him, potentially blocking his pathway, he needed to show that he can get the ball into the box and create.
George has featured for just 24 minutes in the L3 outfit's last two matches, so he needed to show something in the international break.
He still has matches with Slovakia and Republic of Ireland to try and impress his boss at club level, but the performance against the young Hawks will have left something lacking.
George is still young and there is plenty of time to improve his crossing, but it was not his finest hour on that front, against such low-rated opposition.
