Everton reserves coach Stubbs: Apostolos Vellios getting better and better

Everton reserves coach Alan Stubbs was delighted with Apostolos Vellios in their 2-2 mini derby draw with Liverpool.

The Greek forward had gone into the game having scored three goals in his last four outings but Stubbs told evertonfc.com this was his best performance to date.

"For me it was the best he's been since he's come to the Club. He looked more of an all-round player," he said.

"In the past he's done some good individual stuff but then done something a little bit sloppy.

"He was more complete tonight, he did the difficult things well and he was starting to do the simple things better.

"That was very pleasing, probably the biggest plus of the night for me."

"He's a big lad, he's about 6ft 3ins/ 4ins but he's got a good touch, he's good feet for a big fella and he's been scoring a few goals which is good for his confidence."
