Everton Youth Teams Thread

Agree about Unsworth and said the same last season, when garbutt, grant and Henen were playing every game. And Baxter to a lesser extent.

I think Brands will over haul the academy, to many ex players involved for me. Tait at the 18’s obviously he’s not going to walk into a league job anytime soon, so slightly different at the lower age groups.

What about getting some in fir the 23’s who knows Silva & Brands and plays the same system and style as the 1st team. And if you pay good money. IE the equivalent of a well paid championship manger. Then hopefully they would see that as a good job and not be looking to move. Basically like a B team manager

Tait is a highly thought of youth coach who has the u18s playing a fantastic brand of football and looks from the outside to be a development coach. This is the type of person and coach we need he obviously must work with Silva. I watch our u18 football and they try to play like our first team do.

Looks like he is grabbing every chance he gets. Plays a position we seem to be light on in the youth teams so have needed to push him up and succeeded when he has. Maybe he can put some pressure in Kenny and it might help his performances.

It's not easy to know at 17/18 what someone's best position will be though. You might think someone's too small to be a centre half, then they have a growth spurt and suddenly they're made for it, and you've wasted 2 years playing them at full back. Or the exact opposite, a big lad looks set to be a centre half and then gets stuck at 5 10 and is deemed too small. It's not as easy as you're suggesting.

The other thing with youth football is we need to stop thinking that every under 23 is a potential first teamer. They're not, and never will be. There will always be fillers, always be lads who the coaches doubt will make a PL player even from 15 or so, but think they might make a good career out of the game. We have a duty to help those players try to make a living, and things that like have an effect on your ability to attract other promising young players, as they see they'll be looked after. As with most things, there are nuances and considerations, we can't just say 'they should do this' because that would make the current team better, without thinking about the knock on effects that might have.

True. Not long before his famous debut, Joe Royle was playing as a right back.

Yeah, it’s been a reoccurring theme for the past season and a half that we don’t have any “natural” right backs good enough in our youth teams, everybody has been moved in from other positions. Looks like John with his midfield/ wing background has fitted the position , let’s see how he goes from here.
