Everton U21s beaten at Fulham

Mills and Hunt playing well but the game is being played in terrible conditions.

Mackenzie Hunt continues to impress as left-back / left midfield all the rest like Price and Okoronkwo flitted into the game, brief sparks of talent but nothing I would say was outstanding.

I was aware of it, then I got an email with a link late this afternoon from the club and used that.

I didn't look at our site, but we are pretty hopeless in our U21/ Academy communications so may not have been on the site.

While Snodin was full of praise for us first half for me he was over the top, Fulham had some talented players, played well and deserved the win.

I thought their first goal was a cracker, Paul Tait thought it was a cross, so it'll be interesting to see our official comments.

Couldn't really see any standout performances from us although the weather was awful.

In the games I have seen, this seems to be because the team as a whole has no control over possession and barely any goal threat. There was one game where it was different (forget which) but Okoronkwo and Kouyate were brought on at half time to play wide of Cannon. Suddenly the opposition were pegged back and we started to dominate. Price looked good. He had runners to hit with passes and he covered the space well in midfield.

I think both Price and Okoronkwo have a bit of bite and personality and could do well.

The likes of Ferguson, Unsworth and now Ebbrell all departing in short period of time. Recruit those that are the best candidates for those positions not on sentimental beliefs or historic connections with the club.
