Everton Youth Teams Thread

It’s funny how we have an Everton Academy social media manager but they’re not sent to the games to report on them

Haven't even tweeted the lineup. Wouldn't even be hard for an analyst to tweet that out.

Okoronkwo is quite poor.

Uncle Bulgaria will fix that

What's happened to Omari Benjamin

 

[Toffeebraeden]

His curse is having a centre forwards frame. He's just not suited to being down the middle compared to running into space

Problem is, every time I’ve seen him play on the left, for every amazing touch/dribble he takes on, 3-4 times he’ll cut in from the left and run headlong into a cul de sac and give up possession.

Have to imagine the club will be looking to get him out the door on a permanent as soon as he’s fully recovered from his injury. Contract is up at the end of this year so it doesn’t seem to make much sense to send him out to league 1/2 on loan and have him leave for nothing.
I’m sure he has the chops to make a very capable league 1/championship player, but his decision making is way off PL level at this point.

Picked up an injury at the end of last season so probably just rehabbing that

Welch, Campbell and Dixon have also fell into the Everton injury information black hole

Obviously don’t want them to be injured (well, we know Dixon is) but glad they’re not taking up 21’s places.

Hes very Dobbin like in his playstyle, but not as good.

There's quite a few that fall into his category of needing a permanent move but basically no departures yet except metcalfe

Good spot, hopefully there will be some live streaming of matches, 2 halves of 20 mins each last time, first real glimpse of Graham last year .

Interesting that the app has us down as playing at Walton Hall Park. I received an email from the club *this morning* stating that it was still up in the air and yet to be confirmed where any fixtures would be held.

Bit of a let down if they are there as their 'home', having played at a proper stadium in Southport and occasionally at Goodison. I thought they were going to be sharing Goodison when possible.
