So what you are saying is its fine for Moyes to continue picking his favourites? That if someone comes in and takes their chance then they should be sent back to the reserves because they are young?
 
Because really that's what happened. The poor lads head must have been all over the shop. I follow him on twitter and the praise the fans gave him was unreal, tony bellew congratulating him on his hard work and taking his chance when he got it.... Only to be put back on the bench.
 
It wasn't the only time Moyes did that. Barkleys confidence took a nose dive after the Blackburn shepherds crook (his bad 5 minutes), when in reality he should have kept him in and let him learn from the experience. If a child falls off a bike you put them back on it, you don't lock it in the garage to become some form of reminder that bike = getting hurt.
 
There is only one way to improve these lads, get them playing. Even if it was the last 10 minutes of a game... No that rarely happened. You can't defend the indefensible

you saw this before they were given the chance to prove themselves?!
 
my point is, Duffy was given a chance to prove himself. he did just that. then he was dropped and forgotten about. its not about him being a youngster, its about him excelling when he had the chance and being ignored. im not saying he shouldve been a starter but he shouldve been given sub appearances to reward him for his good work until he was good enough to displace his competition. I dont think he is better than either 3, but hes shown enough to me to show he should be given the chance to prove himself further.

If we had too many better options above Duffy then that's fine; I don't blame Moyes for not playing him. However, if it were so clear that he wasn't going to break into the lineup anytime soon then he should have been sent out on loan. I'm a huge fan of Moyes but his handling of Duffy is not something I'm fond of.

Lets just say there is no shortage of clubs interested in taking him lads!
 
Watch this space.

Yeah, I was, I was actually likening his passing to scholes and free kick taking to Beckhams.
 
It had nothing to do with the fact that unless you take a chance on a young player in competitive games you will never know how good they can be - that would just be a little too random...
 
 
We don't actually know if Martinez doesn't think he is ready - he is giving him a loan move to get some competitive games under his belt. The lad has stagnated in the reserves since we last seen him a couple of years back. Martinez has made it clear that reserve team football is no place to develop young talent - i'm comfortable with this. He is probably trying to shake the rust from him, otherwise he would probably look to release him.

Yep thats what it was like when Kanchelskis was better than Beckham, when Ince was better than scholes, how was it that Beckham and Scholes became so good???
 
Duffy did everything that was asked of him, and for me that game where he was a man against the Spurs attackers warranted further opportunities.... Hibbert at centre half? yeah he did ok, but at what price?
 
The lad has not been nurtured in the right way.

I don't think the club insignia is supposed to represent a basketball ?
 
Saying that, it's only a recent modification. They also had a club badge with latin inscription only in recent years, but can't quite remember what that ever was. The new design has only been evident in the recent past. Maybe prefered the old one.

Not really.... I'd like him to stay with everton , the lads got everton in his blood now, I think he will be at the club for a long time!
 
Ideal world.....Future everton & country captain!

What a dramatic evening of football here at Goodison. Everton U21s now face a trip to Tottenham in the semi-finals. #EFC

He didn't just sign a new 3 year deal to turn around and look for a new club.... At the end of the day, he's a learning 21 year old, that's in the mix for games against the best in the premiership!
 
You don't get a new contract under moyes unless you have something, And he has it!
 
Just a matter of time before he gets his chance in my opinion !

Good solid captains performance today from Duffy !
 
3-0 win against the young Dutch!

I'd like to loan him out to a Championship side if possible when Hibbert, Coleman all return. I feel like it will give us a better indication if he is good enough to make it here.
