Everton Youth Teams Thread

[blueblue]

Any hope of winning the competition probably went out the window when Onyango got injured.

A young team was always going to miss his size, athletic ability , strength and football ability.

I'd say in these times, and how hard it is to break into a Premier League team these days if just one breaks through from this group, its a success!

Moyes always used to work on the basis of 1 getting through every 2 years and i think thats a fair target.

Were we can improve though is if they aren't going to make it here is improving them and raising there profile to enable us to receive the best funds for them should we look to move them on, and not just release them at 23 when there contract expires

The problem on the latter, is no championship club (and lets face it, thats where we would be selling lads who cant get a game here too) have any major money to pay us.

It's very difficult to say at his age. The skillset for fullbacks has changed completely in recent years, if you'd told me 10 years ago that Ashley Young would play full back for United and England i'd have laughed in your face but it's happened. Alexander Arnold can't defend to save his life either. I'm not saying he'll end up at fullback, but there's really nothing particularly strange about him playing there with his skillset.

He looks the quintessential modern left back to me.

 

[Cameron Manning]

i think its far too early to say that, to me those are the easiest things to learn as a full back and at 16 has loads of time.

Yes true enough he is very young and has plenty of time to lean,but he looks a strong burly kid for his age and tackling should naturally be already part of his game in my opinion, anyway he looks far better going forward and attacking than he does defending.

Is Amaefule a U16? Never heard of him

Is Amaefule a U16? Never heard of him

Officially down as a Trialist, but my phone has named him as that player Kelvin Amaefule , he seems to be from Derby and a midfielder - [so may end up been a mistake], Wolves having the few chances so far this 1st 15mins

 

[Ring master]

Quintyne og on 27mins gives wolves the lead
McAllister has had 2 shots saved the last 5mins,now Campbell shot saved

 

[Ring master]

Everton get the deserved goal and its 1-1 on HT
Cannon with the goal


seems like we are having more shots and more on target but wolves have their goal without even having a shot on Target
McAllister 2 shots, Campbell, Cannon have had shots saved just before our goal

-------------------------------------------------
Saints u23s play home to Everton u23s tomorrow in the 1st of 2 games in 5 days before the u23s season ends, Saints are bottom and need to win this or they are down, Everton are 8th and will end the season between 6th to 8th, game does not look like its live via saints so we need Everton to show it-tomorrow is 2pm ko

U16 Coby Ebere on the bench, quality player.

 

[Ring master]

Garcia makes it 2-1 Everton u18s on 46mins

 

[Cameron Manning]

Livewire who is very quick, they seem to prefer to bring him on against tiring opposition which works to good effect.
He's very erratic though and missed about 2 years of football which would have made all the difference.

Yes those two years missed through injury after played a big part in he’s career being stifled, let’s see what he’s like next season.

 

[Ring master]

Everton u18s make it 3-1 on 88mins - Lawrence

 

[stretford blue]

Everton u18s make it 3-1 on 88mins - Lawrence

Lawrence a name mentioned on here as one of our brightest u16/u18 player

 

[Ring master]

Everton u18s get a well deserved 3-1 win at wolves with goals from Cannon, Garcia, and Lawrence which should have been more, and move up to 6th, one point behind wolves with 2 games in hand on them

--------
A few of the other 2nd half moments

Campbell over on 51mins
Cannon shot saved on 56mins
