Liverpool FC Academy Youth Team Thread

 

OOH you cheeky little f***er!!  What a beautiful goal Ben Woodburn 

Ah Herbie!  Unlucky lad but great play again.

Another great bit of play from Woodburn, what quick feet he's got 

There's no way these young Bluebirds can keep this defending up, it's all out assault from the Reds but somehow they're managing to keep us at bay.

And nearly an own goal, don't think he new anything about that one, just stuck a leg out and shut his eyes I reckon 

Now, all you that keep saying we need a dead ball specialist and I keep saying we've got one - well there you have it. 

Adam Phillips, his deliveries are nearly Alonsoesk and he's bod just turned 18 

What a ball for the assist, crossfield from our own half, perfectly weighted onto the toe of the attacker, far edge of the penalty area and boom, goal.  Great finish by Corey Whelan too, for a CB 

Ouch!!  That looks a bad one   

Bad luck that, get well soon Corey.

What was it ? Is Dhanda on the bench ?

What was it ? Is Dhanda on the bench ?

Went into a tackle but got his foot caught under him and badly twisted his ankle.  Wouldn't be surprised if he's not done his achilles or similar, was on oxygen straight away and stretchered off.

Yeah Dhanda's on the bench.

Unlucky again lads.  We've been under the cosh a bit since Whelan went off but coming back into it again now.

And another cleared off the line off Masterson from a corner.

Toni Gomes coming on for Ejaria.

And Brooks Lennon with a tap in makes it 3.  Another great move from the lads.

Good win lads.  Onto Forest next.

Woodburn is a real talent one to watch out for.

I know I shouldn't say this, but... mini Suarez?

Think the number 7 looked more like Suarez and stood out more in your video, Alexander Arnold.

Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold look to be the business but as with all young players they've still so many hurdles to navigate it's way to early to say what will happen.

I have to say though, we have more potential stars in this 16-19 year age group than we've ever had.

Fulton
Alexander-Arnold
Cleary
Hart
Masterson
Canos
Dhanda
M Gomes
T Gomes
Wilson
Kent
Brannagan
Ojo
Woodburn
Gomez
Philipps
Adekanye
Allan
Ibe
Grujic
Awoniyi
Chirivella
Rossiter

That's 23 players, virtually a full squad that are standing out consistently at or above their age group.  Of course not all of them will continue to develop but I'm very excited about our future with this group of players.
