Everton Youth Teams Thread

[Nymzee]

Why is our reserves manager playing a young centre back up top. How is this helpful in developing players

Oh Tim

Agree but players like Astley who was highly rated and hasnt really pushed on when needed a loan to develop more. Just seems we keep players for the sake of it kenny ect

Not sure how you can aim to fix the fact Astleys problems are mainly physical and athletic. Would a loan club have put the kid on a rack lol

As a positive from that match, I enjoy watching Garcia because he is quick, willing and he has a bit of snide in him. His size means he will probably never make it but it's often fun to watch anyway.

Anderson had another good game although faded a bit in the second half - I could see him having a steady career with a club like Preston if he manages to avoid the youth injury curse. (Hadn't realised we picked him up from the Liverpool academy.)

He went up for injury time when we had a striker sent off and they had two players sent off, think it’s a bit much to moan about that.

Saw the last half hour and we played some good football just not really a dominant forward in there to score goals

You didn't really need to explain it, that it was even mentioned just showed it was another excuse for someone to moan about nothing

U18s 1 nil up
Mallon

1-1 half time.
2-1 now Heath scores our second.

1-1 half time.

Never knew that

Well at 6 years old Alexande-Arnold had a choice and went to Liverpool. That’s well recorded . There’s no evidence I’ve seen that he ever had significant time at our Academy . But I’m sure it will spawn a GOT myth that he did , and that Unsworth let him go .

U18 North looks wide open this year, no stand out team even though Blackburn are 6 clear after 5 games

Agree but its the plan we have for them they just seem to stay at u23 level. When they should be going out getting games on loan

….posters seem to think going on loan is some type of la la land. If we send our Academy players on loan, the chances are they will rarely play. Points are precious in the lower leagues, we’ve seen how the likes of Gordon and Gibson have struggled.

Going on loan very rarely works for Everton youngsters.

FT. Goals from Mathew Mallon and Isaac Heath helped #EFCU18 to a 2-1 win over Wolves today at USM Finch Farm.
