Everton U23s are no match for rampant Arsenal

Arsebnal U23s 4 - 0 Everton U23s

David Unsworth's U23 side traveled to London this evening to face Arsenal in the ninth game of their PL2 season. The game kicked off at Meadow Park in Borehamwood at 7pm.

A major point of interest was which of the regulars, if any, might be held over to sit on the subs bench at tomorrow's Premier League game against Watford, considering the injury crisis that is challenging Rafa Benitez's first-team management skills.

Simms has not been seen for a few weeks and appears to be injured again, while Dobbin seemed a certainty for getting some game time tomorrow. All eyes were on midfielder Tyler Onyango, and he would get 82 minutes to hone his game a little more before possibly covering for the absent Doucouré tomorrow.

As for the game itself, Arsenal inflicted a comprehensive 4-0 defeat on Unsworth's proteges — their biggest defeat of a poor season so far.

Everton U23s: Tyrer, John, Campbell, Welch, Astley, Warrington, Mills (56' Hughes), Price, Cannon, Onyango (82' Butterfield), Whitaker (77' Hunt).
Subs not Used: Barrett, Anderson.

Onyango playing so won’t be in the squad tomorrow. Likewise young Whitaker. No Dobbin so we may see him tomorrow. Be interesting to hear how Onyango plays tonight.

We will be hard pushed to hear anything about this game no live stream, and I think the OS do not know we are playing tonight no match centre not even a mention.

Danny, they only show selected matches and it seems this isn't being shown. 22 mins played still 0-0. We're playing a 4-3-3 with Onyango on the left mid, Lewis Warrington CM. Can't find anything other than match stats to follow the game. Looks like it will a post-match report at best.

Tony where are you getting ur info from?

I went through the process Brent. But I always get twitchy whe a "free" website asks for a card number.

I've said before you'd think the club would make these available. Definitely to season ticket holders and even the likes of myself who pay membership fees.

I'd pay an extra subscription. Match centre it is, although to head put and do the supportive thing and watch Villa with the wife.

I'll keep an eye on the phone and updates here.

I would be very interested to watch a feed of this if there was one. The Arsenal No 10, Charlie Patino, is getting a lot of heat right now as one to watch – to the extent that my phone just autocorrected his surname to Platini!

Hope our lads are giving a good account of themselves.

Andrew,

He may be the next Ian Selley.

Full time 4-0.

Although the stats say Arsenal had 5 shots on target and we had 7. So maybe the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story.

Ignoring the scoreline, how was the performance? Team and individuals?

Danny, there was no TV broadcast only text feed so difficult to tell.

Match report

It does sound like we were not totally outplayed – as the result would suggest. More a case of having the ability to finish clinically. Last night it sounds like Arsenal highlighted the importance of being completely ruthless in front of goal.

Pretty much sums up the state of the club and the lack of youth good enough.

Places needs ripping out from top to bottom.

In all the years Unsworth has been in charge of the U23s, who has come through the ranks to set the world on fire?

Our youth set-up is run by our ‘old boys club'. You know the ones, they understand The Everton Way doctrine propagated by lard-arse Kenwright and his boys. Mediocrity is our game.
