How is Pereira playing? Thought there was a mess up with his registration?
Gollini and Pereira. Shame it's behind closed doors.
Isn't Periera that amazing 16 year old kid with the ridiculous youtube clip?
The same.
Thought Gollini's had been sorted, saw hi error in the last game, Pereira is the shock to me.
Guess we will have to wait for the highlights, should be a good game as Everton are a decent side.
Anyone got the clip?
The academy-side for next season simply looks scary in midfield and attack - if we can find a good partner to Iannou in defense and find a good left-back then there really aren't many weaknesses in that side.
Anyone know if Grimshaw or Love ever played on the left side ?

Great to see Tom Lawrence returning from injury and on the bench. He's a very big talent who's unfortunately missed a lot of football this year. He will move up to the reserves in the summer.
Lost 2-1..

Match report from the official site
U18: Everton 2 United 1
United's youngsters were unlucky to lose 2-1 against Everton at a windswept Finch Farm.
The blustery conditions affected the game but the Reds went in front on 12 minutes when Mats Daehli won the ball on the halfway line and displayed fancy footwork to play in Sam Byrne down the left. The Irishman's return pass was despatched by the Norwegian midfielder with a curler from the edge of the box.
It was a fine goal by Daehli and he pulled the strings in the first half but was denied further strikes by a couple of smart saves from James Fitzgibbon. New boy Andreas Pereira showed some nice touches in midfield while Ben Pearson fired over from a corner.
Conor Grant's free-kick looked set to evade everybody until Pierluigi Gollini clawed it away at the back post and most of the chances were at the other end as Byrne managed to beat Fitzgibbon but was forced wide and, when the shot came, from Gyliano van Velzen, it was off target.
With the wind behind their backs, Kevin Sheedy's Toffees started the second half brightly and, soon after John Lundstrom hit the bar, Grant levelled the scores with a low left-footed drive past Gollini.
Back came United and substitute Tom Lawrence, making a welcome return from long-term injury, almost scored with his first touch before Pereira danced through the defence but was denied a fine solo effort when his attempt was blocked.
Instead, Everton grabbed a winner when Tyias Browning's positive dribble allowed Hallam Hope to tap into an open goal with 10 minutes remaining. Hope would have added a third but for a brave stop from Italian keeper Gollini and the Reds' final throw of the dice saw Matthew Pennington almost put through his own net following a run to the byline by Liam Grimshaw.
United: Gollini; Grimshaw, Ioannou, McCullough, Blackett; Daehli, Pearson, Rothwell, Pereira (Wilkinson 86), van Velzen (Wilson 71); Byrne (Lawrence 71). Subs not used: Jacob, Rudge.

Pereira actually played in the match against Sheffield Wednesday as well, but it was cancelled right before half-time due to weather conditions.
is every thread now going to contain a raging erection about Pereira?
Yes.
I'm getting a raging clue mo0
Just watched the highlights of the game and from them it looked like a case of United playing all the football but being outdone physically by a much larger everton team. Gollini made his third error in three games and looks very short on confidence this time going down far too slowly for the first everton goal which had was hit from a long way out without much power. Daehli took his goal very well first of all back heeling the ball to Byrne and then getting it back and curling it into the far corner and looked good in possession as usual. Pereira showed a few lovely touches and feints and had one very good shot saved by the keeper early in the game, he could have done better for the second goal but was shrugged off by the much bigger everton right back. It was also great to see Tom Lawrence back after 4 months out its just a pity he wasnt fit for the Youth Cup semi final as I think he has a final product that some of the younger players lack.
Results or a clean-sheet aren't so important in youth football but when was the last clean-sheet for the U18 team?
In January, 0-0 at West Brom.
no wonder Roy got the job.
