Mini derby (U-18's)

[James Dean]

18 mins in. They should've had one sent off already. Horrific challenge by Ledson on Kent.

 

Bit scruffy so far.

 

Any reason the likes of Rossiter is not playing here? Is he at Melwood already?

[alles ist gut]

It's a good old-fashioned derby. As in, elbows everywhere & only one team playing football.

Hopefully Ojo will get into the game at some point.

Perhaps we're saving Rossiter for Tuesday.

Everton are dirty cunts at every level.

1-0 Burke pen, after Kent tripped in the box.

[James Dean]

Kent very lively.

[RobbieOR]

Flicked through this and didnt think it was live.

Ryan Kent looks a promising player. I like the way he takes on players.

[aRdja]

Kent very lively.

 

I love the Kent..

[alles ist gut]

I like the way he's come back from being chopped in half after five minutes.

[therevivalist]

Any links?

[Allan]

Ryan Crump saves an injury time penalty after Harry Wilson was penalised for handball.

 

Final whistle is blown. Finished 1-0.

[alles ist gut]

Full time, 1-0.

[William Morris]

A poor game between 2 average sides on that showing, although it did improve a bit in the 2nd half.

The early challenge wasn't good but, apart from that I thought Everton were physical rather than dirty, though plenty of refs would have interpreted some of their challenges as fouls. It was actually good that this ref let them go.

A draw would have been a fair result but for once one of our young sides actually stood up to sustained pressure, especially the aerial onslaught that grew the longer the game went on.

Not much there to get excited about today, though I thought our goalie looked more assured than some of his counterparts of recent times, more reliable, and that was even before the penalty save.

Can't remember if we've seen him before, if we have I'm assuming he must have improved.

Where were the Spanish lads today Canos and Cherivella ?

[moof]

Rossiter is playing for the 21s isn't he?

[James Dean]

He's not eligible for both?

[The Great Jacko]

Rossiter played 90mins for the U21's against Utd. He was one of the better players so I don't expect him to drop down at the moment.

[Allan]

Where were the Spanish lads today Canos and Cherivella ?

 

Waiting for international clearance, same as the Hungarian lad, Polgar.

[Allan]

The 18's have gone over to the US for an 8 team tournament. Canos and Polgar were named in the squad, but Chirivella was not.

 

Offal

 

Squad:

 

Andrew Firth, Ryan Crump, Tom Brewitt, David Roberts, Nathan Burke, Daniel Cleary, Alex O'Hanlon, Samuel Hart, Adam Phillips, Ryan Kent, Sheyi Ojo, Kristof Polgar, Harry Wilson, Connor Randall, Louis Robles, Daniel Trickett-Smith, Jerome Sinclair, Sergi Canos

Some really promising players in that side.
