He told evertonfc.com: "I was a little bit sacrificed in that system – but I showed a couple of times I could score.

"And this season, everyone can see I am able to provide assists as well. So, yes, it was a bit frustrating last season.

"I wanted to show I could score goals. The midfielders have to score five or six a season and I couldn't to do it

"But I sacrificed myself for the team. I made a lot of recoveries and defended well in midfield. It was like that.
