Everton Youth Teams Thread

Anyone know where Kyle John has disappeared to?
The rapid progress he was making and Colemans dire form might have led to a 1st team opportunity before end of the season

Have any of our teams ever played well and kept a clean sheet with 3 at the back . Normally we concede 2 or 3 goals and have to switch to a back four.

I always have the impression we don't work on it enough on the training ground before employing it. Our players never seem comfortable with it, wherever they are on the pitch.

I also believe we use it as a defensive format. The teams who operate the system effectively in the past (Chelsea City and Liverpool spring to mind) utilise the system offensively. Wing backs are more like wingers and CBs stepping out of defence. Never seen that when we have utilised it, especially Unsy in the U23s. It's more a 5 at the back.

Must be injured. His name has entered that Goodison black hole otherwise known as the academy injury list.

I’m sure I seen something on Twitter about having an operation

FA youth cup very open this year. Two more top teams exited this round (United and Spurs) and with City playing Derby in the next round another top team to go out before we reach even the quarters.

Shame about his op, in my mind Ryan Astley is now our No 3 right back if that makes sense, although we’re just as likely to play Scneiderlin there.

The thing about youth teams is nobody knows anything in regards how players are turning out. Look at our recent under 23 team that won the league. Not one of them will make our first team. Whilst we seem to take it serious at all levels, other teams seem to be developing players.

Post probably makes no sense but i know what it i was trying to say.

I think

I agree
Under age football should be about producing players capable of playing for the first team
One every 2 years would be great
Winning trophies should be secondary

Winning trophies should be an equal aim. We MUST make players understand that nothing but winning is acceptable.

Terrible keeping/defending for their 1st and 3rd, and 2nd one didn't look like great keeping either, although different to tell from that distance.
