The u23 thread

[blue1948]

Absolutely no point in that, if they weren't getting a game for the First team then sure but it's not like they're just sitting on the bench and not coming on.

You don't seem to understand ! NSNO

It's the rezzies, mate. The aim is purely to make players ready for the first team. If you already are in the first team squad every week, there's nothing to be gained by playing there.

Sorry I cannot see your point ,if the u23's win the league then it will instill a winning mentality that can't be bought and would far outweigh any -well let's be honest here ( no chance ) of going higher in the prem
,plus it wouldn't hurt any of the players chances of "regaining " their places.

"Regaining"? What the hell are we talking about? Lookman and Davies are first team regulars, there's been the one game where Lookman didn't even come off the bench, but other than that, they're playing in every game.

Would it help them develop a winning mentality by winning a kids competition nobody cares about? Or would it help the kids that the "big boys" come down and win the league for them? How?

And what sort of message would that send out anyway? "You're nice lads but we don't trust you to win the league on your own, so we've brought in some help for you."

Let them bounce back after a poor performance and win it under their own steam. They're more than capable of it.

That, and only that would be of any use to them as professionals.

Well I see the point you are making ,let me clarify it for my sake . First you think that it is a competition that no one cares about ! ask the lads and Unsy .Second you think that them playing against kids would be a "drop down" for Lookman and Davies ! That is what they are and they most probably will not hold down a regular place yet anyway .Thirdly you also think that them playing two games is going to change the achievement for the u23's ! They must be already pissed because they had Niasse scoring a few goals and Davies played a lot of games for them already .Thought about this whilst writing and it seems you don't understand

I know that.

His age is irrelevant to the discussion though.

He's been as poor as, if not worse, than mori and Williams.

I think you are just winding us up .How can age be irrelevant  ? even you were a kid once .I would play him more than Ronald as I think he has a lot to offer and more when he gets experience and I am sure he will get more time soon

what is CTv ?

I think it might be Chelsea TV

It was interesting to see Walshy there as well ,he knows how much we depend on lads coming up from the u23's

[blue1948]

Well done Unsy and the lads ,nothing like winning a trophy .You can't mark it down ,they won the best they could compete for .Brilliant .

[blue1948]

Let's hope the lads show the 1st team how to do it

[blue1948]

For all us castoffs is it on Everton tv ?

[blue1948]

Worth the few bob to see the lads sadly not the result but the cup will do me
