I don't think he lacks confidence at all. Fitness is another thing all together though.
Ron could be the making of him. Having all the talent in the world is no good if you're gasping after 30 minutes.

He didn't track back

prefer being behind the times
Yup agree with all that...it is in his hands, He's not a luxury player though...He has a threat that the last two games didnt need. I'm sure he will play when we need to stretch teams...lets be honest here.....the last two teams needed beating from the Moyes book of old....all fight and might. He will get his chance against Arsenal, United and the other pap.
• Spanish champions insisted on two-year clause in summer transfer deal
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/nov/19/everton-gerard-deulofeu-barcelona-buyback-clause
Everton will be powerless to prevent Gerard Deulofeu re-signing for Barcelona next summer should the European champions activate a €9m (£6.3m) buy-back clause, Roberto Martínez has confirmed.
Deulofeu returned to Goodison Park this summer in a €6m transfer from Camp Nou having enjoyed a successful loan stay in 2013-14. The 21-year-old had found first-team opportunities understandably limited at Barcelona and also struggled to make an impact while on loan at Sevilla last season, but the Catalan club were reluctant to let the winger leave during their transfer embargo and insisted on a buy-back option lasting two years.
The winger has been in fine form recently for Everton and Spain Under-21s, scoring a hat-trick against Georgia and twice against Croatia during the international break having been named captain for the European Championship qualifiers. Deulofeu’s development is being closely monitored by Barcelona and it has been suggested that, even if the player does not feature in Luis Enrique’s first-team plans, the Spanish champions could re-sign him with a view to selling on at a profit.
But Martínez explained: “They can’t do that. There are certain things in the deal. They can’t take him back in the winter so they can’t take him back in January. It can only be at the end of the season. It is €9m for the first year and €12m in the second year.
“If they take him back they can’t sell him for a season, so he has to stay in the first-team squad for a season. At the end of that if they decide to sell him we have got first rights of getting him back or we have got a big percentage of that deal. There is nothing we can do if they activate it. That was the deal and the only way we could access the player in the terms that we wanted. I’m delighted with the deal.”
The Everton manager insisted the complex deal and risk of losing Deulofeu after only one season is offset by having a player of that talent for €6m. “My worry would be to lose him in January, that would be a big problem,” said Martínez, who is adamant there will be no major departures from Everton in the next transfer window, a stance that applies to John Stones and Romelu Lukaku.
“But for us to have a player of that quality for the money we paid, if we lose him it will be on a profit financially so we would be able to use the money. And you want the player. You’re talking about a Barcelona player who has been all through his years as the golden boy believing he is going to be at the top level at Barcelona and we got him for a very good price. I’d like to tell Barcelona that he’s rubbish but they come to watch our games.”

Just the truth LL, he has no future here.
Koeman has already bought a winger and is currently trying to buy about 20 more.
Sure hope not, love the lad.
Think once he gets his fitness levels back up he'll establish himself in the team.

If that is true Lukaku's numbers will decline in half.
it isn't true.

You've got to question why a young professional footballer isn't already match fit for 90 minutes right from pre season. Bad attitude it says to me
He's always struggled with combining that explosive pace on the break with being able to last the full 90 mins.
He isn't overweight, he doesn't go out partying and there has never been any suggestion that he doesn't put his time in during training - think he just has difficulty to build up his stamina.
But guess we'll see as Koeman unlikely to stand for any attitude issues.

Why do people think he's got a bad attitude? Because he's not happy when something hasn't worked out? Or because he gets annoyed if a decision hasn't gone his way?
Sorry, but I just dont see it.
The lads a winger yet played up front by himself through preseason and the opening couple of games. He put a good shift in, and seemingly did so with no complaints.
He goes out of his way to interact with fans, especially the younger ones way above and beyond what most of them do, including local born lads. He still keeps up to date with how that young lad George Shaw is getting on.
None of that sounds to me like someone with the an attitude problem.
He's a young skilful winger, for most of them their form game to game and even within the 90 minutes is generally streaky.
Martinez is probably a good person for a young player to have as manager when they first breakthrough. The encouragement, acceptance of mistakes and allowance to play their natural game allows them to initially flourish. But after a while they need their mistakes corrected and they need deficiencies in their game worked on. Martinez didn't do that. I can't see Koeman being the same.
Don't forget from a very very young age Deulofeu has been talked as the next Messi etc. He had a massive boot sponsorship at a young age and no doubt a relatively big contract at Barca. That's bound to build up a bit of ego when everyone under the sun is blowing smoke up your ass since the age of 9 or 10. But confidence and ego doesn't automatically mean a bad attitude.

They already have. That 75m player is very quickly turning into a 50m player.

What injury did he have? He seemed fine when he came off against West Brom.
