Evertons Promising Youth

Evertons stunning 4-0 romp in the Premier League against Manchester City got everyone talking last weekend. The Toffees really turned on the style and gave poor old Pep Guardiola another example of how tough this league is.

For me the most impressive thing was the impact three young stars had for Everton. If they can keep hold of them and keep them progressing, Everton have a hell of a core team on their hands. Here's the low down on the three muskateers:

1. Tom Davies

Davies styled his mannerisms on Bond-era
Roger Moore

The words 'Like a Boss' were made for this kid! Everton fans have long known he was going to be a special player and the City game confirmed that to all. He really has got it all - energy, good in the tackle, fearless, can pass and chips in with the odd goal.

If any proof were needed, check out his goal on Sunday. The way he received the ball before turning with it and driving into the City half was good enough. To then have the quality to lay it off, take the return and chip the keeper to put it in was astounding.

Trust me this lad will become a great player for club and country before long!

2. Mason Holgate

Holgate went for Terminator-era Arnie however

This lad is another gem although not a home grown one as per Tom Davies. Holgate arrived from Barnsley under previous Everton boss Roberto M******z. That was one of the few things M******z got right to be fair as Holgate is a top prospect.

What I like about him is his confidence and coolness. He just doesn't seem to get fazed by playing against big names. If you look at the City game on Sunday he had big players like Raheem Sterling in his pocket and looked comfortable all afternoon.

Some cheeky Everton fans are even wondering if City signed the wrong defender when they picked up John Stones last summer!

3. Ademola Lookman

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn

This kid was a recent signing for Everton but probably the one out of all three with the most hype around him. A lot is expected and the new Wayne Rooney is already a tag being attached to him.

He does seem a special talent and scoring on your debut with practically your first touch is pretty good! Lookman is a lethal striker - great finishing and with pace to boot. All in all the sort of forward defenders hate playing against. The best part about his goal at the weekend was the anticipation. He didn't switch off and was alert so when the ball happened to fall where it did, he was first in there.


These three look really good players to me and if Everton have any sense they should start to build the team around them. With the experienced pro's of Barkley, Lukaku, Baines and Mirallas to help them along,  the Toffees could be about to do something great.
