Everton Youth Teams Thread


nah hes currently a member of the england u19 squad which is why hes not there.

The u20 World Cup squad is more prestigious. If he was good enough he'd have been going there, he just hasn't been picked hence why he's in the 'lesser' squad.

A bit like a top u21 being picked for the first team not the u21s.

its not really mate, its just his age group is the u19s, same as davies.
cant remember england ever really taking the u20 world cup that serious
 

nah hes not there for some reason:

Defenders
2. Jonjoe Kenny (Everton)
3. Callum Connolly (Everton)
5. Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea)
6. Jake Clarke-Salter (Chelsea)
12. Rico Henry (Brentford)
14. Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham Hotspur)
15. Dael Fry (Middlesbrough

So is Connolly considered a LB here? Didn't he play RB for Wigan all season or am I mistaken?

yes plays mainly lb for us and england. but is a bit of a utility man so can play in any position at the back and has also played in midfield. played in a back 3 for wigan too i think but mainly rb as you say.

He's right footed though yes? I remember seeing him get off a laser in an FA Cup game against United with his right peg.
 

I saw that the England U17s are also doing well and have reached the semi finals of their Euros tournament. Alex Denny is our only player there and he's been on the substitutes bench. I haven't really followed it but I looked at the team that won the quarter final and was struck by the fact that 9 out of 11 we're from the current PL top 5 teams , don't recall seeing so much concentration from the " big" teams before.

Nathan Broadhead in Wales squad going to Toulon tournament , I'm not sure if he's one who is being let go bu us . I hope not.
 
He's not there cause he never got picked and is not actually that great, just a decent player.

As always with the other crowd, they cling on to anything and hype kids up to death.

...if we're talking about the young RB, the lad I'm thinking of scored a fine goal and played well in the recent U23 game at Goodison. Looks a decent player to me.
 
Yeah he's naturally right footed , scored a scorcher with his right at Goodison for the u21s last season , against Porto if I remember right , in one of international clubs cup . Connolly has a useful left foot too.

Connolly isn't getting a lot of mention for us, but quite frankly his pedigree and experience in the Championship last years would suggest he could figure as Bainesy's backup next year no?

Yeah Trent Alexander-Arnold, as has been said England U19s, and seem to keep seeing his names scoring for England, though a few were penalties. I didn't see the game of RS U23s v Man City U23s but a few commented that he was good at attacking but not great in defence.
