Everton Youth Teams Thread

A good move for Small that, better than staying here and being on loan at Wycombe at 21.

Yeh he'll probably be there permanently

Tbf he was a 16 year old not lighting up the 23s. I do agree he wasn't and isn't some other worldly talent but TAA didn't make his first team debut until 18 and didnt become established until 19. And Small looked a million times better as a 16 year old than Anderson does as a 20 year old.

If we signed a player with Smalls resume tomorrow we would all be waxing lyrical.

All personal opinions of course just never watched him before and really understood the hype. Seen a fair few flying full-backs in academies like Livramento, Larouci etc. and he hasn’t even looked as good as those. Watched another for Chelsea U18’s last week who impressed me more and I can’t even remember his name. Hope the lad does well but I’m not bothered he’s gone.

My main take away from tonight's game was it could be a long season if Tyrers injury is long term. Leban doesn't even look 6 foot and looked a bag of nerves all night. Probably where we are missing Dan Rose

The back line were scared stiff of Gordon all night who even at 16 was the class act on the pitch.

Dobbin and Garcia injected some spark into an otherwise vintage Everton Derby performance. Very few positives

Suprised that keeper we signed from Northern Ireland hasn't been involved with any of the teams yet, he's actually played proper mens football

Probs has played and they’ve just put his name down wrong. Christ knows what happens in our academy with the murky coverage and info we get.

Was that ever confirmed at all?

Oh he's not close to Livramento like but time will tell. I'm sure many were devastated we lost Michael Johnson to City years ago. Life goes on, Spurs lost Madueke, Chelsea lost Livramento and Musiala. It happens, just got to make sure this isn't the first of a trend considering he was probably our best prospect

Points are irrelevant at that level.

 

[Kever10]

Weird move.

So is the average age of the team. As long as they are u23, they are eligible to play. Except that seemingly doesn't even matter either.

Well it is important as we’ve previously had one of the older teams in the league which isn’t a good sign for development or a pathway.

Yeh he's definitely signed, only 16 though

 

[Billy Dean]

Weird move.

He’s going to be their understudy LB apparently. So will most likely see plenty of game time this season

Being managed by Matty Pennington.
