He enjoyed himself last night...

Ghana international midfielder Christian Atsu took solace in his own performance despite Everton’s 4-6 aggregate loss to Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League on Thursday, March 19.

Roberto Martinez side were soundly thrashed 5-2 in the second leg of the 16th stage tie by the Ukrainian side, but the Black Stars winger maintained he was delighted in his overall output.

“The game was really tough and we have to move on, we lost to a good side and we wish them all the best, for me personally I enjoyed every minute of the game and I hope to continue and help this team in the remaining games, Atsu told Football411.com.

“Everton is a good team with good players, everybody wants to play but it all depends on the manager so I will do my best if I get the opportunity to play in the games ahead.”

Meanwhile, the Chelsea loanee, who has struggled to command regular spot in Roberto Martinez’s team, says his dark days are over and he is set to compete for playing time.

He added: “I have had injuries and some problems since I joined the team, that is normal with every footballer when you join a new team, but now my focus is to keep pushing and hopefully I can get more games and help this team.”

thought he did well personally.

Tried to create chances, run past defenders and a better understanding with rom could have been more productive.

Much better than McGeady

I thought he did well last night and was not afraid to get stuck in, helped out a bit in defence as well.

 

[loooweee]

He does look like a good player for future I think he needs teammates to gel , bit like pienaar and baines and hopefully the physical qualities improve

His final ball was generally lacking a bit but overall though it was a decent game from him. Especially in light of his little match time, the high pressure and the awful chants coming from the stands.

Pity the keeper saved his shot, for lots of reasons.

Was surprised to see him winning a couple of defensive headers.

Thought he was a bit pants early in the game. Did get better tho. I wouldn't be against signing him at the right money. Could turn into a good player.

What's he supposed to say, he finally gets some minutes for club- he has to say it was good to be out there. Especially when you consider the question was probably something like "After all those games on the bench, How did it feel to play today?"

Edit to add: that I am not Gahanian, so my seeming defense of him is not related to my nationality.

He's off his tits.

He also thought he was playing in Russia.

I'd sign him in the summer for <7 mil. Reckon he'll be a decent winger

Would have Deulofeu over Atsu Mcgeady and Lennon combined.

If Lennon and Atsu were available for the same price i'd go for Lennon.
