00:00And let's just touch on Illman and Dye
00:03Do you feel he's been a real benefit to Everton this season
00:09and his future could be really impressive
00:12I mean he's popped up with a few crucial goals
00:14he seems like the calm head in the final third
00:16something that they certainly lacked under Sean Dyche
00:19and David Moyes has come in
00:21and obviously really given Dye a platform
00:23obviously he's been injured a few times
00:25but his impact on the side is clearly really positive
00:30and it certainly looks like he's aiming for a big season next campaign
00:34and he wants to make sure that he's a real starter
00:37and a real turn to proper number 10 for Everton next campaign
00:41Yeah well he hasn't played number 10 much to be honest with you
00:45and I think that's the position maybe he regards as his best
00:48he plays mainly out wide
00:50and he scored nine goals in all competitions
00:52which is a really good return for someone
00:55in their first proper season in the Premier League
00:58Everton were long-time admirers of him
01:04he obviously went to Marseille from Sheffield United to come back
01:06and probably some people looking at him
01:09thinking well if he failed in France
01:11are you going to do it here
01:12but he's been fantastic in most games he's played in
01:16he has a little bit of a quiet spell
01:17but he's picked up again
01:19picked up that injury
01:21and he's made his mark
01:23scoring against Arsenal from the penalty spot
01:26a real cool penalty
01:28and look if you can get 10 goals
01:30if you just had an element I'll score you
01:3210 goals at the start of the season
01:34a lot of people would have taken it
01:36now the only thing you need to add to his game
01:38I don't think he's got an assist yet
01:40and if you are the creative player
01:42then you need to start setting up goals
01:44as well as scoring them
01:45so that's something you need to add to his game
01:48but yeah I asked David Moyes before the Arsenal game
01:50number 10 is that something that you think he could do
01:53and he said that's what
01:55I want to try and have a look at him there
01:57in that position
01:58which makes a lot of sense
02:00because he is someone who can unpick a lot
02:04and if you've got Dwight McNeil back
02:06to play on the left maybe
02:08then you've got a winger there
02:09who will be getting crosses into the box
02:11and you've got to prop it out
02:12and out number 10
02:13someone who will work hard as well
02:15he's not afraid to put a shift in
02:17might be like Abdoulaye Dekore
02:19who's running power
02:20but he'll definitely graft for you
02:22but he's been a really good signing
02:24I think he's one that you look on
02:26I think he could be a real star
02:28of this Everton team
02:29if he stays for years to come
02:31there have been many a names
02:32the first spell under David Moyes
02:34and you think I like to be
02:36Steven Pienaar in terms of forwards
02:39Tim Cahill
02:40and others like that
02:42Kevin Morales
02:42that's a really good spell at Everton
02:44can he be that next player
02:48someone who you think is capable
02:50of going to the next level
02:51I think maybe it didn't work out
02:53for Pienaar or Tottenham
02:55and yeah I think he is the one
02:58that you look on
02:59if you carry on this sort of trajectory
03:00then there'll definitely be
03:02other teams who will be sniffing about him
