Everton Youth Teams Thread

Surprised Byrne made the cut.

He is a game lad, had a horrific time with injury but I do not get the feeling that is is going the threaten a starting birth on the under 23s any time soon.

Fair play to him btw.

We paid 9-11m for Lookman, we didnt unearth him on the fields of Huyton, same with Holgate and DCL.

Talk of class of 92 is slightly premature.

TomTom has come in and done very well, Kenny looks a player, against bin lids, the rest, no idea and till they get a few games nobody knows.

Im very, very cynical with regards the yoots, we build them up year on year and it hardly ever turns out well.

Lets see what the lads play like, I think most people fall in love with the idea of fielding a squad full of lads born on Goodisons steps and its a lovely feeling watching local lads play for us, as I admitted im very cynical, but hopefully in a few years that viewpoint changes.

Kenny is good enough mate, you'll see

..Reds in the pub this afternoon were seriously of the opinion that their lads have got us to the final. It's all about Ojo and Solanke. Wish they would just watch a game properly.

Saying that, I'd be chuffed if Ojo and Solanke score tomorrow.

Hadn't previously noticed Ojo in this tournament, our lads has smashed it. However he was absolutely superb the other night after coming on.

Aye I thought the same but I think it's decent as it gives him another chance to make an impression after a horrible injury lay off.

You hadn't noticed him because he's hardly played. dowell has kept him out, scored a winning goal and re enforced the consensus view of being a far superior player. We have at leas 8 player in their age group who are significantly better than the Liverpool lads.
