Everton Youth Teams Thread

Yeh it's great to win but can't say I'm all that fussed about a youth cup. More important to develop the players.
Fair enough, but I’ve been following Everton’s youth teams in this competition since it began in the 1950’s, and surely young players will develop while playing in important and strongly contested competitions like this one, there is not much else to play for either this season for these young lads.

Agree. The Youth Cup is always a good measure of the u18s. The depth and technical quality of Chelsea and City over the past five or six years provides a marker we can only dream of achieving. If we get past what appears to be a decent Wigan team , and on recent years that’s no guarantee, we’ll need our best players against City. Let‘s see how the likes of Onyango, Small, Price, Butterfield etc measure up against their peers.

Quite a comprehensive list there mate, well done, by the way Lookman is now with Fulham!!
 
Going to ask the awkward question: Onyango. Against Man Utd U23 he really seemed to be given the run around in the few snippets I saw. Didn't seem particularly mobile. Is there a concern there or have I just not seen enough of the lad to let first impressions bother me?

Ya as said was a snippet .. but it was bugging me so thought I would ask.. no thats good to read.. Will just watch his development .. havent taken a position on him yet.. but very hopeful
Fwiw the last couple of u23s games he hasn't played that well imo. Has performed much better previously.
 

They’ve actually been quite good, recognising Chelsea are the better team , bemoaning the lack of accuracy in our passing , lack of service for Broadhead while pointing out that Chelsea have done their homework on Broadhead and often double teamed him. Quite fair by them all in all.
Yeah, have to say they do a decent and unbiased job. They talk like coaches, pick up on things we do wrong/should do better, constructive criticism. Nice change from most homer comentators.
