Watford U21s 1 – 0 Everton U21s
Everton U21s were narrowly beaten on Monday evening by Watford in the Premier League Cup at The Orbital Fastener Stadium, home of Kings Langley FC, kick-off 7 pm.
Tonight was the first sighting of Armando Broja in an Everton shirt as he is finally declared fit, 3 months after joining the club on loan from Chelsea with an Achilles heel injury. He only played the first half.
And alongside him were four other players who sat out the Brentford game on the bench, with Nathan Patterson, Jake O’Brien and Harrison Armstrong getting rare game time along with Callum Bates in what should have been a pretty strong line-up.
But instead, they brought with them the goal drought that has befallen the first team, with Patterson getting a second yellow card on the hour and Everton then giving up a goal to the home side.

It sounds like it’s going to be exciting times for the younger teams after reading what Thelwell has been saying, so I just hope they don’t let him down tonight.

Very strong team. Broja, Patterson, O’Brien. Last time out Watford lost 8-2 to Sheffield Utd!

We lost 1-0 and Patterson was sent off after two yellow cards, we cant score when playing against ten men and cant defend when playing with ten men! Albert scored for Watford,I think Broja only played in the first half, saving himself for Saturday, looks like Dominic is saving himself for whoever signs him!

I think Beaumont-Clark came on for Broja.

Is the Heath who played any relation to Adrian and has he come through the Academy or from elsewhere?

The whole club is allergic to goals.

Isaac Heath joined the Everton Academy at age 13. He has two goals and three assists in 11 total appearances this season for the U21s. He’s in the final year of his current contract.
No apparent connection to Inchy.

“I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to just keep on progressing and hopefully be back with the Senior Team. I was also excited to put on the Everton shirt, it was a really good feeling. Hopefully I can put on the shirt for the Senior Team soon.
“I got through the first 45 and I felt like I could have probably played more but it was always planned for me to play 45, so it was a good start for me.
“As a player, you’ve always got to be patient. Patient with chances, patient with injuries, patient with situations that are not always in your control. I would have loved to have been back sooner but it’s one of those ones where you just have to be patient, take your time with it, make sure you’re feeling good, make sure everything’s right.
“When I first came to Everton, I would have given anything to be out there on the pitch with the players. That’s what any player wants: to be in there with the squad week in, week out, playing and training. You need to be patient, you need to be resilient and strong.”
