Everton Youth Teams Thread


Any more details? Moyes loves a young keeper

One day...one day, maybe one will reach the first team.
Donno about that, youngest keeper he's given a game to for us was Tim Howard and he was near 30.
Can remember his signing a lot of crap older keepers for the bench too
 

Hopefully the appointment of Nick Cox will be followed soon by the appointments of new U21/youth team coaches training progressive football. The style of play of Utd youth teams is very much possession based football. Please god let hoofball be a thing of the past.
Hopefully he'll sort out the medical side of things as a priority too and do a deep dive into the amount of attrition and squad depletion due to hamstring injuries that have plauged us in recent times.

I'd not even thought of this. Good point.
 
….many clubs have a strategy of playing systems that mirror the first team.
Some do, but it's often just a buzzword to make the staff sound better in the press and doesn't marry up with reality.

If you were to make every youth side play in generic colours you might identify like 3 that definitely look like their counterparts at seniors.

In fact on the contrary the 3 really good academies, including United, often do not mimic the first team at all

I thought the Martinez experiment put paid to Everton playing possession football. Just isn’t our thing, the dars won’t have it.
