Everton Youth Teams Thread

Chelsea are adamant they've scored a goal, Guehi's header cleared off the line, but the officials remain unmoved. It looked like the defender [Joe Williams ] was very deep in his goal, but it remains 0-0.

Seems Chavs had a goal chalked off at 0-0 (if Flashscores are anything to go by)

Musonda equalises from the penalty spot, just, his effort squirming under Hilton and just over the line.

Everton sub Sambou replaces Antony Evans.

To echo much of what Blueloon said above it was interesting game. Carroll I've written about before some pages back but looks a very decent young player. I'd only seen him play in the 10 before, but he played deeper today and controlled the pace of the game, always wanted the ball, has got a bit of nastiness about him. The other player for me who caught my eye was Hunt, who again has good technique, plays with his head up and always seemed to have time on the ball. Hughes made up the 3 in midfield, and is a physical presence and that was certainly the strongest area of the side.

I was a little underwhelmed by Ellis Simms who looks a bit lad but for me seemed to lack a bit of fitness and doesn't seem to put himself about enough for me.

Watching Everton young sides you often get quite a similar pattern. technically we are very competent on the ball, we are normally combative, well organised and comfortable in possession if not incisive. We are quite reminiscent of a late Moyes side in how we play. The number 2 looked a big lad who played centre half and can hit cornfield balls well. We've seen that with Foulds before, Collins in the second half and even Gibson in the reserves. We seem to produce that sort of player well. Number 8 Hughes is quite similar to how Connolly played and Denny before him.

What we really lack is pace in the final third. We don't seem to have many magic players in that area. I think this is partly down to the money you have to pay to get them. Liverpool often pay big fees. with large wages to get lads in. Sometimes it works with Sterling but other times they can be expensive flops. We don't seem to have many reducers though and haven't really looked to have someone who create havoc in the final hird since Barkley/Hallam hope at that level.

The Portuguese lad (Bruno) played a little like Coutinho, moved in a similar way and seemed happier inside. Most of the players did, but we do lack pace and power in wide areas.

I thought they did well today, the opposition are well thought of and seemed to have a year or so on us across the pitch. They were much bigger physically. Most of our team were first year scholars which bodes well. That development makes a big difference at that level, I mentioned how Simms looked a lot bigger and so did Collins in the 2nd half. You can see players like Hughes in midfield will grow into quite a tall lad, and may grow 3-4 inches in the next year, so it makes a big difference.

Either way a decent work out, and Hunt/Carroll did very well.

Everton u23s draw 1st game 1-1 away to chelsea U23S,next u23s league game is home to Leicester a week monday,that i think will be on EFC TV or Leicester TV

Bułka uses the full extent of his frame to make an agile save from Broadhead's latest try at goal, flying to his left to tip it away for a corner.
Pennington hits the crossbar from the corner, heading down into the ground and bouncing back up onto the woodwork.

Half of that team could be out on loan by the end of the month. Browning, Galloway and Pennington with a view to moving out permanently. Surely Charsley needs a loan for development - who else do you think?
 
Don't really see the point in playing Pennington Browning and Galloway. Surely they are just blocking the development of others. Surely if they aren't good enough at 23/24 then they won't ever be good enough.
