Everton Youth Teams Thread

1-0 v Wolves u18, Robert penalty on 17 minutes.

I know we moan a lot but it’s sad that we can’t get the names of our youngsters right when they score, he’s down on the OS as “ Roberts” , last night they had scorer Coby Ebere down as Corey or something despite him appearing on a first team bench .
Noticed that myself but then again I do have OCD 😅 . 1 all now unfortunately

Not defending the club because they are useless at this stuff and its probably their own doing but it's a strange one in Robert's case as even the premier league has him listed as Roberts.
 
How's Benjamin been doing?

I had high hopes for him (based on very little tbh) and thought he might get a look on the bench instead of Sherif
I would say Benjamin is doing ok, scores goals at u21s but expectations need to be managed, you rarely pick up a discard from another PL club and have him playing in your first team months later. He’s a different type of player from Sherif. While I like Benjamin more Sherif in his size and style is much more suited to replacing Beto from the bench if needed if you don’t want to change the style of play. I would certainly have had Benjamin on the bench instead of Ebre , but again it’s different styles of player.

If he does as well as Simms did coming from City we'll have done well from it.
