• Dave 10 I just saw a few clips of last nights game and Graham scored a very good goal and laid on another. I don't see how he can be any worse than the 2 who play up top now. Yes its a massive step up from U21 football to Premier league but give him some minutes and let see what happens....
  Brian Harrison in Everton U18s secure fantastic extra time win to progress in FA Youth Cup
• Ian (13), A good post, not long-winded. Everton's team is very young and we had four good players missing with injury. I never went to the game, find it hard now, especially in the dark nights, my mobility restricts me, but if we get further in the competition, I will make an extra effort to go and watch the lads. I've been watching this competition since the mid-fifties when it started.Thanks for your post and attendance last night....
  Dave Abrahams in Everton U18s secure fantastic extra time win to progress in FA Youth Cup
• Ian (7),Not ready for a first-team game... while looking at the efforts of the only two strikers we've got.Mike (9) Give him some minutes when there's no longer anything at stake? Every game is important and fans want to be entertained and get someone to believe in — someone who will finish off these missed chances. Graham can be that boy. Graham who you confessed you'd never heard much about a few months ago, well you've had a chance to learn about and watch and want him played only when there's nothing at stake!...

• Tony, the game was a typical cup tie, end to end, plenty of chances. In truth 4-2 after 120 minutes flatters Everton a little, it could have been 6-6 in normal time. Ipswich were unfortunate to go out really with Everton taking it to extra time with the last kick of the 90 (through Graham). Both teams have some good individuals. With Everton 3rd in the Northern section of the U18s and Ipswich bottom of the Southern section, I was expecting this to be a bit more one-sided; it wasn't. I'd love to know the respective ages of the two teams; Everton looked younger, and there are size differences at this age level. Ipswich had two giants at centre-back and centre-forward who caused Everton a few problems. That said neither team played many long balls, both played it on the ground. Everton started 4-3-3 and Ipswich were similar but there were lots of substitutions and systems changed to suit. I thought Everton's squad ran a little deeper and that may have made the ...
  Ian Wilkins in Everton U18s secure fantastic extra time win to progress in FA Youth Cup
• I see the result against Bournemouth as karma coming right back at us. We got lucky against Leeds (the Calvert-Lewin miss which would have made it 2-0 before half-time) and Fulham (when we got lucky with a fantastic Pickford save, 2 shots against the woodwork, 1 unbelievable goal-line clearance by Mykolenko, etc). Our luck couldn't last forever, and the Barry misses, while very disappointing, should not be laid entirely at his door. Even the best strikers miss sitters and I hope he is supported by Moyes and his team-mates to get over the despair he must be feeling. ...
