Everton's Sylvain Distin has labelled Toffees midfielder Royston Drenthe "a real free spirit".
Drenthe, 24, joined Everton on loan from Real Madrid in the summer and scored the equaliser in the club's 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
"Some teams can get a bit too structured and tactical, while he brings a bit of fantasy and that is a good thing. We know what he can bring to the team, he is a real free spirit," Distin told Sky Sports News.
"Maybe if he gets too disciplined, though, he could lose that little bit of craziness at the other end of the pitch – we've got to take him as he is.
"He's dangerous and you can't ask him to be dangerous, have that spark, and defend all the time."
Everton sit 13th in the Premier League table.
