Everton u21s beat Tranmere last night 1-3 with the help of 26 year old striker Beto who cost £25m last year.
Home to Everton is now our next home game after this Saturday due to Reading cancellation. Could be a good test for whoever is playing CB that night!

Pisstake. I'll never change my view that these teams being in a Football League competition is an utter disgrace.

Me and plenty of others as well. They have tried numerous formats in that competition where none of them have been ideal but the present one is the worst. How many swerve these fixtures but are happy to attend if there club is playing another div.1 or 2 side even with a weakened side out. |

Don't get why so many people (for a competition that so many don't give a toss about, and never have given a toss about) are bothered by a change of format to it ?? For some its the principle in general, for me, it's the slippery slope of allowing B Teams to enter full competition. This is common place in countries like Spain, Netherlands and Germany, and some Scottish teams now have teams in Lowland/Highland Leagues. Some will soon make the argument that the likes of Accrington struggling to get by with 1500-2000 attendance could be replaced with Liverpool B and this would improve the standard of competition. I fully expect in the next 10 years that some Premier League tickets will seek to insert a B side somewhere in the pyramid. I get the argument that this competition helps the development of younger players to play competitive mens football but this just reinforces the bad habit of hoarding players and ridiculous Premier League squad sizes, much better to loan those players to L2 etc. |

I struggle to care now. Primarily for the reasons bristolhatter has identified. It double annoys me because we're being shafted by the PL generally anyway and then we're inviting them in to benefit them rather than us. |

I gave a toss previously. Did you really though in the early rounds? or are you thinking of that fact that you cared when it got to the business end and Wembley was at stake?? (maybe you did, but I suspect a large number were never bothered in the early rounds anyway and therefore adding the U21's has made little difference either way to their interest, but are happy to jump on the moaning bandwagon) |

I did. I'm not going all 'superfan' here, but I was daft enough to come back over from Liverpool for early round stuff in the 90s.

Does that mean you are all for it and the eventual addition of B teams in a rehashed efl bottom division if there was mass interest in these sides. |
