Everton Youth Teams Thread

Well played Everton u18s,did the overall Job 1st half,bit quieter 2nd half as Brighton as you would expect needed to have a little go one been missing that sitter from the header on 87mins,saying that we still could have had the odd goal 2nd half IE the Simms one on one,The 6th round [Q/F] FA YOUTH CUP game v West Brom has to be played by 2nd march- [we are due to play man city home the friday night 1st march]
 
Shame Gordon got that knock as he was flying prior to that first time i have seen Astley and he looks good seems aggressive in defence but not reckless, Iversen and Carroll look a fine partnership in midfield as well.

Astley is improving in little aspects every time he plays. In the first few minutes of a preseason game and an early season Wales U19s game he went through a player taking man and ball in both games. It made me wince both times as he has a very high skill level for a defender , and I was a bit worried that his over aggression would count against him , but pleased he had that in his locker. He’s much more controlled now, maybe it was just early season and a youngster new on the block making his mark .

Could be and time was when you could get away with challenges like that!
