Everton Youth Teams Thread

I fail to believe there's a better attacking midfielder/forward than Gordon in the country at his age and he still doesn't seem to get selected for England.
The lad from Liverpool, attacking midfielder who also has scored quite a few goals. Think his name is jones? Is england captain for that age group.

Showing my bitterness lol, but if it was the other way around, there is no way Gordon wouldn’t be in the squad. Bit like solanke & DCL, neither are good enough to be in the England squad, but Southgate had to pick one, and what a surprise went for the media darlings player.

See if he gets picked in the next squad mate. I can't see that they would ignore the lad indefinitely. Maybe Gordon has only started showing this level of performance this season.
 

Everton u18s go through to the semi finals of the premier league cup after beating Fulham 2-0 with goals from GORDON and own goal,Fulham went down to 10men on 80 mins due to a straight red, Everton join spurs in semi finals,

Other 2 Q/F games,one sunderland v chelsea has gone to extra time,and Arsenal v norwich has just started 2nd half

Before those,4th placed Everton u18s,1 point from top, return to league action away to 8th placed middlebrough next sat
 
Very highly regarded before this season but I suppose he's kicked on to another level
Yeah I think youth standards in England are at an incredibly high level at the moment so you need to be a bit special even to make the squads it would seem.

If he keeps knocking in the goals I"m sure the FA coaches will have to take notice.

For me, the beauty of him is he is so productive, both in terms of goals and chances created. He does not play as an out and out striker, so to be able to play a prolific striker alongside him makes the team extremely potent.

CHELSEA after they beat sunderland 2-1 in extra time,and ARSENAL who have just won a pen shoot 5-4 this minute after the equalized 1 min from the end of extra time to make that game 4-4,both joined EVERTON and SPURS in semi finals OF THE U18S PREMIER LEAGUE CUP

Curtis Jones, scored a couple against us in the last u18 derby, one a cracker. Slippy has him down as a future England international.

There’s another U17s England squad about to be announced, think it’s a tournament in Portugal next month, so it will be interesting to see if Gordon makes the squad. Hard to fathom why he wouldn’t , though those who supposedly know about these things say the No10/ attacking mid role is their strongest area.

Some line up that. Whoever we get will be interesting but Chelsea walking the southern division so it would be good to avoid them at the semi stage.

..the big disappointment for me is that we failed to get through the FA Youth Cup. I’m probably old fashioned, but a team with a top player get through that competition, it even happened with Rooney.

We effectively sacrificed that competition for the Cyrus game mate. Very strange decision for the club to make IMO. I'm pretty sure there were ample U23 players who could have made up that squad, as good as it was to see the likes of Hornby and Gordon get their senior debuts.

While I agree that the Europa game affected some players at u 18 level , we really didn’t have many options open to us mate. The Europa rules are convoluted but a big aspect was that young players needed to be at the club for a full two years to be eligible . Once Big Sam had made the decision to leave many at home there were few eligible players left apart from u18 players.e.g Sambou , Gibson , Adeniran , Bowler etc were unavailable.
