Everton Youth Teams Thread

Entertaining game.

Nobody stood out and said "pick me" for the first team, but certainly Niasse and Kenny showed that they could do a job.

Lookman fairly inconsistent but a great goal. Niasse now looks like a proper player rather than someone's brother who pulled the kit on for a joke. Both of them seem to make their own luck where the ball bounces off them in a challenge and runs free. Niasse also had some nice headed flicks.

Kenny was pretty solid defensively and had some lovely cross-field passes. He also had a few poor crosses.

From the others, Henen, with his speed, could possibly appear in the League Cup if people need a rest - think he is too old to be unnamed in the Europa squad. Baningime could possibly also be a prospect given a midfield injury crisis.
 
I know it's the youth team and you shouldn't take much from it, but even so it's abundantly clear that Kenny is a better footballer than Martina and should be starting, and Lookman is an X factor that should be on the bench at the very least every game.
Exactly what I thought and how Koeman can treat Niasse the way he has and think Martina is acceptable is Martinez type bafflement.
