Edit: 4-0 down on 26 mins.

4-1 on 36 mins. Morgan. Game on!

 

[oglop44]

Poland and Akarakiri on at half time for van schoor and wren.

 

[oglop44]

4-2 on 54 mins. Clarke. We've got a game on our hands now.

Better than our 2 mins of highlights, and given it was RS edited I’m assuming we dominated all the match and they squeezed their few chances in. I’ve never heard of “ Lee Jonas” but commentator said he was playing against his former club . Some tidy interplay between Heath and Benjamin at times .

4-3 on 66 mins, Clarke again. Come on boys.

 

[Eggs]

Tait is full of praise for Benjamin in his post match analysis , particularly his work rate and his ability to play across the front line .Graham has the same work rate ethic too , both are in contrast to Ellis Simms when he was banging in the goals , without the ball Simms was statuesque and rarely involved. Both look like they can adapt their styles to suit while still retaining the essential quality of finding the net.

….the other thing I noticed with that first goal was the almost visible drop into a lower gear as he wins the race with the defender. It’s going from frenzy to cooler mindset. We know the step-up is massive and I wouldn’t predict he’ll make but he certainly has something about him.

Olayiwola on for Clarke on 77. Still 4-3 down.

 

[oglop44]

They've actually done it. 4-4. Graham on 86. Holy moly.

Edit: Also Stewart has come on for Morgan.

They've actually done it. 4-4. Graham on 86. Holy moly.

….magnificent but not counting my chickens just yet (chuffed it’s Graham, weird how certain players get important goals).

 

[oglop44]

Finished 4-4. Mental stuff.

 

[Eggs]

Finished 4-4. Mental stuff.

….thanks for the updates, much appreciated.

That was a pretty incredible come back after a five minute spell when they lost 3 goals. One of our youngest u18 teams too, at the final whistle the kids on the pitch were all first year scholars or u16 except for Davis and Finney .

It reminded me of the quote from Jacob Beaumont-Clark when the u21sbeat Watford 2-1 with 2 late goals.
“That’s the Everton way to always keep going and never give up. It’s been taught to us since we were young. I’m just happy to get the goal and the win for the team.”

….terrific. Looking forward to the highlight package.

Olayiwola on for Clarke on 77. Still 4-3 down.

I was puzzled that Olayiwola was down as “ 4” in a recent England u16 squad, clearly an attacker/ midfielder on that switch. A bold move from Baines to take the inform Clarke off too, unless it was an injury or possibly fatigue.
