Clearly been identified as Everton's key player and tactically planned for compared to the start of the season. Opponent's defenders stick at least a man close to him and at least 2 to 3 players surround him whenever he receives the ball. He's getting less space to turn and run.

He will have more space when DCL is back with Richie in behind and grey and Townsend on the wing.

That's the hope. Having a terrible squad means Everton is easy to game plan against with all the injuries. Stop him from running into space and Everton's attack fall flat most of the time.
 
I was a little frustrated with him 2nd half today. I counted at least 3 times Lucas Digne overlapped him in a great position to have the ball played in front of him to cross and was completely ignored. If it had been Iwobi making that decision he would have been crucified. I would have liked to have seen him and Gordon switch flanks too but that's more down to the manager than players.
 
He's not really a natural goal scorer. Harsh to criticise him now as he and Townsend over-produced at the start of the season. Gordon needs a goal and when he gets one it'll be interesting.

Creates space elsewhere though. All good if we now how to move the ball intelligently, effectively and quickly.
