Everton Youth Teams Thread

[Darth Toffeeman]

I've posted it may times in the last year but I know not many agree.

Apart from our current golden generation, last years u23s, there's nothing behind them.

Feeney is not great, Baningime neither. They are the best of a bad bunch but nothing special whatsoever in my opinion.

Baningime has stood out every time I have seen him. He has every chance of being a 1st team player here.

 

[Sennott Street]

I love how the Chelsea commentators try to downplay our U23s by stating how a lot of them were 1st team players.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Walsh is such a proper little footballer

 

[aazak]

That's 2 penalties in 2 days could / should've been given against us that weren't - is the world turning?

Nah but I'd love to be wrong.

Baningime has more chance than Feeney who I personally think has no chance whatsoever of making it here but it's easy to stand out in our 18s we're very poor and it was proven so last year.

Baningime did ok for the 23s but those games were the biggest of his career to date, when your asked to do it week in week out, it's a different story.

He would struggle to make the bench for a club like City at u18 level which says a lot about us at that age as Benny is our best player.

 

[Sennott Street]

Chelsea controlling this game.

Theoretically, even someone who doesn't know much about football should be able to tell which players are a cut above, and every time I see him, he just exudes confidence and class. That little turn he did outside our own box under pressure was just...professional.

Unsworth rates Feeney and that's enough for me right now. Remember these lads can still make great strides at this age, they are by no means the finished product.

2 years ago, Davies was not the one you would have said would be a regular in our first team.

 

[maccavennie]

Tough first half That, a bit disjointed in parts but at least we are 1-0 up.

I was going to chime in with the same arguement . I didn't think Davies was anywhere near the first time at the start of the first season let alone being one of our stand out players in the last few months .
There's still time for those young lads , plenty of kids don't stand out till a lot later .

They also have some potential physical growth as well, which can work both ways. Remember what they were saying about Dowell having a hard time as he was filling out. You look at Foulds and he looks like a kid, Connolly seems fairly scrawny as well, but the experience allied to some more power and the skills they possess can change an outlook.

Look at Niasse and even Hazard and how powerful they look against most of our lads.

Been one way traffic. Lucky not to concede. Can't really single out a good performance. Not trying to slate the lads, but need to up our levels here.

Aye, apart from Walsh I think we've been poor haven't we mate. Evans is doing a very disciplined job on the right hand side, Charsley hasn't got into it and Sambou I think has had about 3 touches lol

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

we are lucky to be ahead as we have barely crossed the halfway line

Walsh looks very classy

Hope Chelsea are fined for fielding this Hazard fella as a ringer here.
