Thanks for the updates mate, that’s 12 goals for Gordon now , and he’s the leading goalscorer over all four “Youth” leagues, PL2 (U23s) PL2 Development; u18s leagues N&S and U18 Development leagues, that’s some feat.
I saw this article by a Dave Horan the other day,someone who has seen a number of different U23s/u18 teams this season , this is s what he wrote about Gordon and Mampala under the headline :Young Guns: Knocking on the Premier League Door?
Manasse Mampala (Everton)
I wrote on my notes ‘lithe. If only Romelu could hold it up as well.’ Neat and tidy in possession and constantly linking play with the midfield effectively. Quick movement off the ball stretching the defence. Exciting prospect. Definitely one to watch.
Anthony Gordon (Everton)
This playmaker had a real swagger about him. A real throwback to the 80s. His style of play reminded me of the winger and great Dane, Jesper Olsen. Slightly dishevelled but just looked like he should be plying his trade on a football pitch. His feet were quick and linked play intricately. One burst of pace got him goal-side of the defender with ease. High hopes for him.
OS report on u18s Blackburn 1 - 2 Everton. At times I’m not sure how we are managing to get such good results from these youngsters, two 1st Year Scholars as our CBs today, and we always seem to fall behind but I’ll take them . One of the few areas of positivity in the club at the moment. Come to think of it one of the few positive threads on GOT too, it’s a relief to pop in here.
Report
Paul Tait claimed his Everton Under-18 players were a "joy to be around" after the young Blues maintained their title bid with a determined 2-1 victory at Blackburn Rovers.
Tait’s Everton suffered an early blow when Rovers striker Kyle Connell’s fifth-minute, 25-yard thunderbolt defeated the Toffees’ American goalkeeper Nicolas Defreitas-Hansen.
But after withstanding an aerial barrage from their hosts, the Blues gradually asserted their superiority on the contest and midfielder Stephen Duke-McKenna levelled 11 minutes before the break.
Anthony Gordon stroked home from the spot on 52 minutes for his 12th goal in 10 league outings this season following a foul on centre-forward Manasse Mampala in the box.
Blackburn defender Hayden Carter was dismissed after collecting his second booking with three minutes to play, as Everton comfortably repelled their opponents late in the match to complete a fourth Under-18 Premier League success on the bounce.
“It is a really good environment to be in at the moment,” Under-18 coach Tait told evertonfc.com.
“The attitude in training is great, the boys’ confidence is high and they are a joy to be around.
“We were prepared for the way Blackburn would play, we knew they would put the ball in the box and be aggressive.
“We had spoken about it but were not quite ready from the start.
“Blackburn scored a good goal, then had a few more chances and we weathered a bit of a storm.
“Our two, young centre-backs, Elliot Richards and Michael Collins, had to deal with a lot of high balls into our penalty area, which will be really good for their development.”
Duke-McKenna rounded off a slick Everton passing move to equalise. When the ball alighted with the midfielder 20 yards from goal he took aim and, with the assistance of a slight deflection, bent a finish beyond Rovers number one Ben Winterbottom.
Tait revealed he has been urging Duke-McKenna to add goals to his consistently industrious all-round performances.
And he was delighted by the mature manner in which his young charges took on board instructions from their boss to turn around the flow of the match at Blackburn Rovers’ training centre.
“We started to take control about 10 minutes before half time and created some great chances,” said Tait.
“We scored the equaliser, then the message at half-time was to be better without the ball, to improve our shape and pattern – and stand up to Blackburn’s tactics.
“The second half was a different game, we were completely in control but just could not get the third goal.
“Blackburn did get the ball in the box a few times late in the game but never really threatened. Our lads dug in and saw it through.
"We have been asking Stephen to score more goals. He does so much for the team, with his workrate and defensive mentality, and we have just been asking for that little bit more from him in the final third."
Everton’s courageous victory came seven days after the prolific Gordon had struck in stoppage time to win a match at Newcastle United.
And their rich run of form has propelled the Toffees up to second in the Premier League North table, one point behind Manchester City and above third-placed Manchester United by virtue of having scored more goals than their Old Trafford counterparts.
“We made it clear to the boys, although Newcastle and Blackburn are not in great form at the moment, they would want to turn Everton over – and we would have to be resilient and stand up to them,” added Tait, whose team’s focus will now switch to a Goodison Park FA Youth Cup encounter with Ipswich Town on Friday 8 December.
“We talked at the beginning of the season about wanting to be competitive and up there with City and United. That is where we are at the moment – and we want to stay up there challenging.”

..Gordon looks a little bit special, but I noted Mampala on here a week or so ago as one who is looking comfortable in the game. I reckon both will get decent contracts and are ones to watch.

And we're going to do the exact opposite.
Cant express just how down I am at the moment.
