Everton boss Frank Lampard and his coaching team are working tirelessly with youngster Anthony Gordon.
The winger was the subject of huge interest in the summer from Chelsea.
However, Everton convinced him to stay, and Lampard wants to ensure that Gordon now takes the next step as a Toffee.
He explained during a press conference: “I don't think it's worth hanging on too much that he's taken on too many bookings, I'm more worried about his whole game and just working with him on that front and the booking thing has been a small part of that too.
“I don't want to lose him for a game, that's the reality of it. Also, if you get an early booking, that changes the aspect of the game and in the modern day it's so fast you could get a red. There are obvious reasons you'd want to address that and yes, I've spoken with him about it."
He added on Gordon's progression: "I think it is more on Anthony's age, and where he is, that there is a lot of development to be done and I think what he has done is he arrived last season and showed all the qualities we want to see in a young English winger - pace, ability to beat a man and an eye for goal, and quality and good off the ball work ethic.
