 Welcome to ToffeeTV It is Everton in reserve episode number five. The show where we sit down and we talk about Everton's Academy Their results, their performances and all of the latest news regarding the Academy. My name is Cameron I am your host for the show as I've been for the last four episodes. I really really hope you have enjoyed the previous four Big big thanks for all of the support on those really really do appreciate it. We'll start with Everton's under 23s first They did lose their game against Arsenal 1-0 Unfortunately an early goal by Emile Smith-Rowe within the first 10 minutes of the game Ended up resulting in an Everton loss. Arsenal did see a red card on the 62nd minute However, Everton were unable to get back into the game despite Arsenal being down to 10 men. It puts Everton 9th in Their league they've played a 1-3 draw 1 and lost 4 They were 7th and the next game is against Black Bay and actually today in the next 25 minutes 7 p.m Kickoff as of filming this so not a good result for the under 23s again Sort of in that level of form where they're winning up the you know the winning one They're losing one and just can't find any real consistency at the moment. They've got good quality there We saw that you know last time out against Chelsea big big win against Chelsea last time out So they have got good quality. They have got You know ability, but they just need to add that consistency to the you know to their performances because they are unfortunately Picking up defeats every now and then and ultimately in order to you know being that top bracket of the league They do need to add that consistency currently sitting ninth, which isn't the end of the world But I really really disappoint and defeat last time out and we do hope that they bounce back tonight Against the Black Bay and hopefully when we're sitting here next week talking about the under 23s It's a much much more positive result and a much much more positive performance Well, he did have the share of possession in that game And you know they have 52% of possession 11 shots same as Arsenal and two on target So he won more shot than Arsenal and the same amount on target to and just the game of Arsenal Converting their opportunity in the first 10 minutes and Neil Smith rose a play that's played First team football for Arsenal He's been in around the first team as well So he has got a lot of experience himself and ever and we're just unable to get back into the game from that point Which is very very unfortunate, but look we hope that that can be sorted out within the next couple of weeks or so And hopefully and you know we start to see more consistency from the under 23s the under 18 They'd have a big big 3-0 win against Derby County goals from Lewis Warrington Lewis Norman Dobbin and Thierry Small helped Everton to a 3-0 victory over Derby County They stay 6th in their league 1-4 drone 1 lost 3 their next game is against Leeds United away from home That is on Tuesday a 6 30 p.m. Kickoff and a very very good win for the under 18s Thierry Small popping up with another goal He's in absolutely fantastic fantastic form He really really is he such a good young player And he's even caught the attention of a couple of big European names which we're gonna talk about in just a second But good to see the under 23s and you know keeping up their performances Did go on a bit of a bad run of form after that defeat to Liverpool They were on a really really good run of form and then they did lose the Merseyside Derby Unfortunately, then they did have a couple of games where they just couldn't quite get their feet together And they picked up a couple of defeats But now they are back in winning form with a really really big 3-0 victory over Derby County Like I said, they play Leeds away on Tuesday another big big game for the under 18s Hopefully they can turn up and continue that run and go out and get another 3 points Which will be a really really important 3 points as well for the 23s And the bigger news about Thierry Small is that according to the mail and various other sources as well The young left back is being linked to Bayern Munich and Juventus Bayern Munich has said to have concrete interest in the player and have compared him to their left back Alfonso Davis A reporter apparently come out of Bayern Munich stating that they believe that Small is the best left back in the world Currently for his age group so big big big plaudits for Thierry Small Lucky he's been absolutely fantastic for the under 18 so far this season Not only defensively but he's getting forward, he's scoring goals, he's creating He's getting himself on the score sheet and he is a very very very good young player And ultimately Everton are going to have to do an awful lot to be able to keep a hold of him in the near future He's a good young player, still quite young 16 17 years old to be playing in the under 18s And I dare say that if he does stay at Everton for the foreseeable future He'll make that step up to the under 23s very very soon And then you know maybe even potentially into the first team within the next few years And so obviously the massive bit of news regarding Everton Football Club Is that defender Luca Dean has picked up an injury And he is set to be out for around two to three months according to Carlo Ancelotti Which is absolutely devastating because he is one of our best players One of our key players and young left back Niles and Konku Will fill in that position and maybe you know Thierre Small is looking at that And thinking you know what maybe that's somewhere I can fit in in the future He's a very very good young player and he seems to have solid concrete interest From some of the biggest clubs in Europe So Everton are going to have a big big job on their hands to be able to keep a hold of Thierry Small But hopefully they can do so We've got a really really good talent on our hands As well as some of the other players in the under 23s No Lewis Warrington popping up with another goal Lewis Norman Dobbin as well with it with another performance So the under 18s genuinely in quite good form at the moment He did have a little bit of a payable patch But you know this season they've been very very impressive And they do seem to have that consistency That maybe the under 23s are lacking at the moment And maybe just maybe David Unsworth will call upon Thierre Small to make that step up into the under 23s If need be before the end of the season But one thing is for sure is we're going to have a real job on our hands To keep a hold of him if sad like Bayern Munich and Juventus are sniffing around But that's about it for this week's episode of Everton in reserve Just one game each since the last time We spoke for the under 23s and the under 18s Like I said the under 23s play a game today in the next 20 minutes So against Blackburn away from home So hopefully that is a positive one We'll be keeping an eye out on that one A big big thanks for watching If you haven't enjoyed this episode Please do hit that like button It
