Everton U21s 8 - Ipswich 4
Braiden Graham 4 goals. What a performance by the youngsters.

Didn't see it but judging by the scoreline it looked like a very cagey match. ?

Heard a lot about Graham, although I've not seen him play. Clearly, people are very excited about him, but I've also read that he's quite a small lad, and maybe not big enough to play in the Premiership. Are these legitimate worries?

Owen, Aguero, Messi? All small players.

But he's not at their level, Brass..
We will only know if we give him a try, but Moyes only likes to play one target man up front. He's more like a Radzinski or Cottee type player, I reckon. Could be good with the right partner.

That size shout doesn't fly anymore. He is 5ft 9, hardly small in today's game.
Juninho, Lennon, Bernard, Ryan Fraser, Alexis Sanchez, Joe Allen all managed PL careers just fine.
This kid looks tenacious as well. I am not saying, ability-wise, he is good enough, but writing him off as not being ready because he is small is bizarre.

Exactly Bn, size does not matter, by the way, Ndiaye is 5ft 10 and a bit, is he too small as well. ????

Size doesn't matter as he plays more comfortably in no10 roll. Plus my lass always tells me size doesn't matter. ?

Not sure why Moyes prefers to bring on Barry to sulk and look disinterested rather than give Graham a chance. Moyes is a good Manager, but will never be great until he gets this too small, too young attitude out of his repertoire.

Because Barry is a target man and Moyes plays a system that needs one. Graham is not a target man.

Why does his system need a useless target man that can't control the ball or can do anything that resembles football?
