Everton boss David Moyes hopes to see more from Landon Donovan in the coming weeks.
The American has started both games since touching down on Merseyside - the 2-1 Premier League defeat to Bolton and the FA Cup win over Tamworth.
"He played in two performances that weren't us at our best, so we probably could have done with helping him a bit more. But there were glimmers there and hopefully he can keep improving for us," Moyes told evertonfc.com.
