Everton Youth Teams Thread

U18s seem to be settling down after crap start, could go into international break in 3rd place depending on other results

Everton u16s look to have beat Burnley 4-1 with Ebere getting hattrick

Nice to see them getting results in tight games, and it seems too repetitive to say another young team with only Mallon of the outfielders not a 1st year/ Schoolboy and same with the bench.

You mean Daniel Rose, he was behind a lot of other young goalkeepers in the pecking order.

He was the best goalie for his age at the club and he’s much better than what we’ve got now.

U16s beat Burnley 4-1, Coby Ebere hat trick and goal from U15 defender Luca Davies

Not sure he's better than we have now as the club would have done more to keep him, so they must see the others as better prospects

Everton actually have a huge opportunity to become the go to place for youngsters given (1) the age gaps in the squad (2) the lack of transfer budget for the next 2 years at least.

Brands should be full time on making that happen imho.

Indeed. But my biggest disappointment with Brands is that he hasn’t been making this happen . Everybody in our u18 and U23s squad today has been with us from at least 16 years of age, nobody has been brought into those teams from outside. (I know we have Jagne and Okoronkwo not involved today) . We’re just not competing with other clubs to become this “ go to place” .

For years we’ve known we have an issue with Right Back in the first team , but we've never brought in a young right back to move on up. In the QPR game when our ex player Duke- Mckenna scored his penalty, I thought “ Ah yes, another speedy right footer we tried at right back in our u18s” . That seems to be our only strategy , to try to convert someone who’s quick and right footed, John, Quirk , Mills all originally midfielders have been tried at RB and it seems the only natural RBs we have are Mallon and Quintyne. Yet we are no nearer solving the issue, letting players like Livramento pass us by and making half hearted offers for the two young RB s at Rangers and Aberdeen . It’s a frustration that I’m resigned to .

3-1 West Ham on 61mins - Alese

Interesting that Leban has been dropped back down to the u18s and Stewart is on the bench for the u23s.
