Everton Youth Teams Thread

I was the opposite, I thought he did really well, was winning all the headers that came at him in the middle of the pitch , looked composed enough on the ground and was comfortable hitting long balls from the back. We’ve rarely started a 15 year schoolboy as a centre back before Christmas so I give him more leeway than you and it was thrust upon him in a way due to injuries. He can tackle and he’s very tall, looks about 6:2 / 6. :3 ish already so I think he’ll remain as a CB and hopefully put some bulk into his frame . We know he’s been offered a Scholarship, no real surprise there, and there are obvious flaws in his game particularly around the goals scored but I was impressed with him.

He missed about 50% of his headers cmon! Jumped for them earlier than DCL used to

Eh ? Maybe we were seeing different things, my recollection is that when they pumped the ball forward to their striker he was the one marking that space and won just about every header.

Nah I definitely saw him mistime a lot of headers. That was why I whinged after the first few minutes. Good on the ball, risky at times, that’s why I think more midfielder than defender.

Ok. At 15 a long way to go, so far I only see him as a defender , physicality/ body build will play a big part . I can’t think of any youngsters his height moving up into midfield, and Onyango trying to do the reverse of mid to defence has never worked out .

I’ve seen two of Everton’s goals Eggs on different websites, both well,worth watching but not the first. The Everton website is worse now than before since it was taken over by new owners. I’ll be going to the next round game v WHU if it is at Goodison to make sure I see these young lads and judge how good they are.

Edit: 3rd one doesn't work for me embedded here but will play if you open it in Twitter (click on the text of the tweet rather than the play button, confusing I know.)

…cheers, Matey, actually a ‘highlights link’ on that last one that shows all 5 goals. Nice set-up and finish for the winner.

Thanks for those highlights Nymzee and also oglop 44 — lovely to see but how did Millwall get away with their second goal! Mind you all’s well that ends well!
