Fwiw David Okagbue, another dual national, was sitting beside me at the 21s game yesterday. Very highly thought of at Stoke. Said he was supposed to be in the 19s squad before it was announced but did his hamstring in his last game for Stoke 23s. Don’t think he would have started but he’s probably the next centre half in if McNulty or Lawal end up back with the 21s

I'd say both lads will remain with the U19s for next month and March if they qualify for the elite round. Though if Lawal moves up to midfield it can also free up a space there for someone. Think long term it's probably going to be his position. Which would be better for us as we need a good holding midfielder to come through.

Be nice if they announced the squad officially. Their first game is on Wednesday

**JR89** · 07/11/2021, 11:30 PM

While they were only friendlies they announced the squad for the last U19s squad on the Monday before the game. Whether it's only given to the social media team then I don't know but for the U17s qualifiers they were posting the starting line ups 15mins after the game had already kicked off.

Still no official squad announcement, but Bosun Lawal has posted on Instagram that he's in Bulgaria

Tom Cannon scored again for Everton U23's

**Stuttgart88** · 07/12/2021, 3:20 PM

He's going great guns.

**pineapple stu** · 07/12/2021, 3:24 PM

Blasting them in, so he is

You obviously think he's a player of the right calibre.

**John83** · 07/12/2021, 3:26 PM

Hopefully he comes good. The senior team could use the firepower.

**seanfhear** · 07/12/2021, 3:43 PM

Remember Frank Cannon.

Why was that never repeated?

Tommi O'Reilly, who was called into an under 19 training camp in October, named among the substitutes for Aston Villa today

**tetsujin1979** · 27/02/2022, 10:24 AM

O'Reilly isn't eligible apparently, name comes from a great-grandparent

**Eirambler** · 27/02/2022, 1:11 PM

That's two O'Reilly's ineligible for us in the last few weeks after Matt at Celtic. Shows again that the descendents of a lot of the earlier Irish diaspora that we tapped into in the past are now too many generations back to play for us.

Surely we could make exceptions for O’Rahalleys (? spelling )
