Everton Youth Teams Thread

Baningime does similar. He has been unfortunate with injuries at key moments.

...I always thought Baningime was the nearest we have to a Gueye clone. Tremendous engine, great ability to tackle opponents on the run. Trouble with Baningime has always been his ability in possession of the football. It also appears he has an attitude problem off the pitch.

Evans collects a forward pass but his shot hits the right post and his follow up effort strikes the left post!

Fulham back in it on 73mins - Taylor-Crossdale pen - Feeney fouls Carvalho,
Everton 3-2 ahead

Fulham hit post on 77

Branthwaite gave it away apparently, not Feeney

Can be the only reason he’s not kicked on,he seems to have everything but does he have the desire and application to push on I’m sceptical

...from that first game I saw in the ‘Dallas Cup’ some years ago, I thought his attitude on the pitch was spot on but it appears something is amiss.

Something is very odd about what happened to him over the last 2 years. I think he sits in front of the back 4, as you say similar to how Gueye did. To some extent, he is another example of the mess we have made of the last few years in terms of integrating and developing young players.

I think had he been given opportunities Schneiderlin had had, he would have probably overtaken him.

I remember something Unsworth said about him "being back to the old Beni" or something equivalent earlier this season. Quite a telling statement.

In more general, I think the under 23's environment is a bit too caring and not ruthless enough.

...good point.

 

[Cameron Manning]

...good point.

Also, maybe the coaches are not good enough, Antony Evans has a lot going for him, technically very good, good passer and link up man, excellent free kicks and corners, doesn’t seem to believe in himself, maybe he should push himself more, or the coaches are not pushing him enough, same as in the U18’s, they don’t seem to have any drive or energy about them for the whole game, play in patches then ease off. I think Brands will liven up or change the whole system at the Acadamy in the summer with some sweeping changes, something needs altering there, too easy going, and that applies to the first team squad even more so. They might have to start earning their wages from next summer, wouldn’t that be a nice change, and after that, have a good look at the boardroom, plenty to alter and get rid of there.

95% of the youth teams games seem to be played in the evening so it must get depressing.

Was working the game tonight, thought he grew into the game well, looks to be able to pick out a pass which is promising. Was a soft pen given against him imo. Seems big for his age too.
Adeniran was the standout though.

under the big lights of fame? doubt it.
