Supporters of Everton have shown their love for a club post in which Carlo Ancelotti explains that he is planning to get youngsters ready for first-team action.
On Tuesday afternoon, the club shared a post in which the 60-year-old Italian explained that he will speak with the academy manager to find the ‘right way’ to improve youngsters for first-team football (per Everton), which fans gushed over.

Following the 1-0 defeat in the Merseyside derby in the FA Cup, in which Liverpool fielded a young, second-string lineup, the delight could have appeared like relief that first-teamers may be displaced.
Please have some young players- anyone- play instead of Siggurdsson or Schneiderlin on Saturday

Bout time we had this. Sure it’s all nice to grab the PL2 trophies, but no point in the academy if they still aren’t strong enough to progress to the first team level.

What do we think?
As some supporters mentioned, while the club has an academy, they may as well use it. They can be a great source of first-team players when used intelligently and can provide the club with big profits should a youngster make it.
