Everton Youth Teams Thread

From the team sheet it looks like Doug Lukjanciks came on and played the whole of the second half in goal in the Everton u18 v Newcastle u18 game. I’m not sure if that was due to injury or a planned introduction and it’s hard to find his DOB but I’m assuming he’s recently turned , or about to turn 15 , so to get minutes so early at this age seems to confirm the faith the club have in his ability.

He confirmed on his Instagram he came on for 2nd half, I think it was planned but obviously no way to be certain.
Seems like they have a plan for him.
 

He's got the number six shirt according to the UEFA website so will be starting I'd assume.
Samuels-Smith is in a good position as this team have sometimes played 3 at the back with him on the left side and he’s looked very good there , maybe better than when he’s played left CB in a four. It’s a three game group so I’d expect him to start 2 out of three.
