Everton Youth Teams Thread

[sportbillyblue]

Probably already mentioned but there's an Everton development team playing Preston on Monday at Haig Ave

thanks for the heads up ... defo pop in, interested to see if any of our new lads will play and how they shape up.

Well my Welsh is limited but I' know "seren y gem" is man of the match, I guess there were two "stars"

 

[jceverton]

I know he's only 16 but I've not been that impressed with him in the two games I saw him for the U21s.

In any event I think the player RM is referring to is Dowell.

We're not sure which one it is- now that's a big plus!!

Ouch that is a tough scoreline to take in any game let alone a derby. Shows the change in fortunes for United's academy as well.

@OliverKayTimes: Talking of #MUFC, their U14s lost 9-0 to #MCFC today. City's kids are very very good. As with Chelsea kids, concern is whether they'll play

 

[swisso]

Never been particularly impressed with Uniteds squads at U18 level for the 5 years I've been watching.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that Everton Academy graduates make up the most players in professional football in 10 years time. Or thereabouts at least.

The minimum standard of Evertons graduates has increased year on year to the point where you could say that most of the players could go on to a League One / Two level at least if released or sold on.

Increase the minimum standard and it surely makes it easier for players to reach the top.

Holgate & Griffiths starting for England U20 in behind closed doors friendly with Czech Republic

5-0 to England, both played 90 mins. England u18 drew 0-0 with Netherlands, Yates started at right back and was switched to left back after a defender was sent off.Holland was an unused sub.

I'm pretty sure that was Griffiths' first appearance for England at any level. He's been called up to England U19 before but he was an unused sub.

Holgate's first appearance for England too, quite a day for our youngsters.

Nice to see Brewster get another couple of goals at the weekend. A couple of years ago he was one to watch but some injury difficulties have stalled him a little. I hope this year is a breakthrough for him.

So how many of these lads should be heading out on loan once the window re opens for loans to the football league

Ledson has played under 21 football for the last 2 years so id say he needs to make another step up and get a loan similar to Kenny

Pennington did great at Coventry and got his debut against Barnsley a few weeks ago but I can see Browning being preferred to him so maybe a championship club?

Galloway once Baines/Oviedo returns to fitness would it be worth sending the lad out to a championship club maybe MK Dons to continue his game time

Id like to see Browning go out for some game time also but with his need as forst team cover at centre back and right back it may be leave us short

Henen I would like to see him get some game time in the championship too but with his injury record are teams willing to take a chance and wasting a loan?

The likes of Walsh, Connolly, Robinson, Dowell, Davies, Holgate could probably do with another year with the u21s then maybe look at a loan next year

Ledson's 18, maybe Martinez wants to wait and have him around the first team here before sending him out on loan.

Galloway should under no circumstance leave, as both Baines and Oviedo are fragile right now, it would seem.

 

[marchy]

Think that there is no chance of Galloway going out on loan, clearly a first team player now.

Connolly starting for England U19s, Kenny on the bench

 

[Sinski]

U21s playing tonight as well.

 

[atrottel]

Connolly starting for England U19s, Kenny on the bench

I thought Kenny was sent off in the last game?

Connolly gave away a penalty but ended 1-1.
