Next Gen Series (No it's not Star Trek)

 Well done to our young lads with their victory over Inter Milan, it makes me proud to know we have got good talent coming through and the future looks secure.I never saw the match but nontheless it makes me feel so good.I hope all our first team squad watched the match and learned how to succeed in Europe.I wish the lads all the best in their runin to the final,you can do it lads.

The top two teams from each group and the four teams finishing 3rd who have amassed the most points will enter the knock-out stages. These will be played over one leg, with each winner progressing to the next round, culminating in the Final. There will also be a 3rd/4th place play-off.

We qualify, along with PSV, as the two best 3rd place finishers. 9 points.
Spurs, Chelsea and Marseille are all on 8 points. Not sure who goes through.

At 14, we have also score the most amount of goals of any club in the competition.

Some good teams there mate, let's hope we can do better than 3rd place this time.  I think we've a better squad than last.

one of the inter players looks 30yrs old.

i think coady was a bit of a prickk not letting yasil take the last penalty to make it his hattrick

Draw for the last 16:

That's not a bad tie for us even though it's away.

Ouch. Sporting away? Tough one that, I reckon.

Still, on a good day our lads can match anyone 

Sporting are good aren't they?

Didn't Sporting absolutely demolish us twice in last year's NextGen? We pinched Joao Carlos Teixeira as a result I'm fairly certain

Yep. Always had an extremely strong academy there.

And so have we now.  Last year was last year.

Tough draw.
Will show us how good this this crop is.
They thumped us last season.

And so have we now.  Last year was last year.

It'll be interesting (to say the least) to see how we get on against them this year Debs.  What a draw!

COYR!

We'll have to watch out for that Teixeira kid, he was excellent last year.


Oh wait 

It'll be interesting (to say the least) to see how we get on against them this year Debs.  What a draw!

COYR!

We haven't done well away from home but we could throw in our secret weapon and play Raheem.  It might do him the world of good to go back to the Academy for a game or two hun.

I hadn't even considered that. Would that be allowed? Like, is there some kind of rule that despite being of age, if you make so many senior appearances you can't play Next Gen?

Nope, it's all age related mate so he's still eligible.

Hopefully this will be shown live and the lads have been practicing their penalty kicks 

Sporting NextGen date confirmed
11th Feb 2013 - Latest News

Liverpool will travel to Portugal and face Sporting Lisbon in the last 16 of the NextGen Series on Wednesday, February 20.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7pm and the tie has to be decided on the night.

Alex Inglethorpe's U19 side will be hoping to give a good account of themselves and look for revenge after two heavy defeats by Sporting Lisbon in the NextGen Series group stage last season.

Tough draw but also a good chance for these lads to measure themselves against last years. Looking forward to watching it.

it is great that the young lads are learning from teen years to travel to places like lisbon knowing they have to break down a good team as a unit. representing liverpool in games of this nature. if that discipline is instilled younger it can only be good.
