Everton Youth Teams Thread

Having watched that game last night it's clear the academy needs a massive influx of players, nothing standout at the moment down there. Interesting to see what these couple of lads from Ireland are like as they seem rated highly also.

Think a big clear out and as you say a big influx

Unfortunately no use having a big influx of new players if they keep the same coaches.

The under 21 game last night was nothing short of depressing.....

Whittaker can be a good pro, the rest.....

….maybe why Dyche said nobody is ready to make the first team.

Lukjanciks not on the bench for u18s is ominous with regards to recent rumours he's doing a bunk.
Dont think he's injured

The U15s or U16s played against Carlisle at FF the other day. It wasn't a great watch!

With different progressive coaches we'd see very different footballers. Sadly they are being coached, no doubt under the direction of the manager, to play in the same style as the first team. The woeful acceptance as a club, from first team to youth teams, of a lack of focus on retaining possession, of failing to progress up the pitch with the ball under control, of failing to move to give a player in possession an option, of failing to have prepared patterns of attacking play (other than crossing the ball), of failing to take up positions between the opponent's lines, of failing to hold possession outside the opposition box and move the opponents around to open up space (for shots from outside the box) and opportunities - no, it's football from a coaching manual written in the 80's by Charles Hughes and his POMO crap. "Up 'n at 'em" seems to be the club mantra now. If Whittaker and Metcalfe and possibly some others had the coaches at City or other teams they could be in with a chance of making it. But sadly this is Everton under Dyche, who disgracefully undermined any fragile confidence the young lads may have, when he publicly said that he couldn't see any of them being first team players - what a tosser.

I'm far from a Dyche fan but he's only been here a year, can hardly blame him for the crap youth teams

You can and you can't. At that age you can't write off a full season of development by having the youth sides play such negative football. I'm surpised we're attracting these Arsenal trialists.
