The starting XI and subs:
Ray Roberts, what a throwback name that is.
And George Finney!
Almost scored a screamer!
I'm guessing he's 15 as he played a bit last season but wasn't in this years batch of scholars.
Down as an Everton Youth online so presume so.
Not gonna pretend to understand this format, or why we're doing a pen shootout after winning 1-0, but our next game is, I think, tomorrow at 7.30pm against East Bengal?

Confusingly this doesn't actually seem to be the team that started the game. Looks to be:

Lambert Freedman Thomas OSS
Gardner Matos
Beaumont-Clark Bates Stewart
Graham

Beat me to it. They just went by squad number for the graphic and presumed.
Louis Poland missing too.
Nice. He looks the most promising after Armstrong of the 2nd year scholars and I’m assuming will be training with U21s and in squad for Saturday’s u21 game.
