Everton Youth Teams Thread

[LinekersLegs]

Everton Under-18s are in FA Youth Cup fourth round action against Southampton at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening.
Goals from Calum Dyson and Nathan Broadhead earned a 2-1 extra-time victory over Stevenage in the previous stage - and coach Paul Tait is optimistic the Young Blues can enjoy an extended run in the competition this season.

Tait has confirmed that starlets Ryan Ledson and Kieran Dowell, who made their first-team debuts in the Europa League against FC Krasnodar in December, will play against the Saints on Wednesday.

Admission at Goodison is £3 for adults and £1 for concessions, with cash turnstiles in operation in the Upper Bullens. Kick-off is at 7pm.

....I remember Paul Tait as a youngster at Everton. He's a Newcastle lad but been down here for many years. I thought Sheedy managed the youth team but good luck to the lads tonight. Let's hope they can lift some of the doom and gloom.

The Youth Cup tend to be a real benchmark of the talent at that age group, a winning side inevitably houses a future top player.

Club obviously taking it seriously, haven't both Ledson and Dowell been playing for the U21s? Should be a tough match given how good S'ton academy is.

.....expecting a difficult game, just hope the kids can give us a lift.

You going Eggs? If you are, would appreciate your post game assessment - on Dowell in particular, as not seen much of him.

There is no excuse for not playing the strongest team we can.
This is the premier competition in underage football and would give the club a boost if we were to win it.

...can't tonight, Matey, hoping to get home and pick up something from the OS. I'll keep you updated if I can get any information. I'm a big fan of the FA Youth Cup, here's hoping.

....just tuned into the OS, very poor live coverage that I can see. Still 0-0 I think.

....0-0 half-time in Youth Cup, OS reporting the young Blues have created all the chances but failed to take any.

If you are on twitter Eggs, Kirbride is doing fairly regular updates to add to the @everton tweets.

@philkecho: Dyson goes agonisingly close with a curling effort. Half-time 0-0. Entertaining enough and plenty of chances for #EFC to be in front

@philkecho: '47 Southampton open the scoring through Kyle Clinton from a corner

...sods law after missing so many chances. Must be close to the end.

Yes, sounds like we are still creating chances but only 10 mins to go and we have made all our subs. Annoyingly Liverpool are winning their match vs Derby 4-1.

Edit Yes! @philkecho: GOAL #EFC equalise through Donohue '82

@philkecho: Initial shot from sub Harry Charsley is saved by Isted but Donohue reacts quickest to the rebound and slots home 1-1.
He did a tweet earlier in the game praising Donohue's work on the right wing as well so glad he has got a goal.
