Youth Team/Cup

[Allan]

5-0 to the 18s at Melwood now - Cannonier with the 5th.

[Allan]

McConnell on for Woltman for the last few minutes at Melwood.

[Allan]

Now fulltime at Melwood - Liverpool U18s 5 Leeds U18s 0.

 

Cracking result and another hatful of goals for the 18s.

Halftime 0-0

 

Good game with chances at both ends despite the traditional shitty weather at Kirkby.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Thanks for the updates. Does Millar look like a real prospect?

[Allan]

Halftime at The Academy - Liverpool u23s 0 Southampton u23s 0

 

Been an even contest between the 2 sides.

 

Millar seen an effort strike the post, and the visiting keeper has made a couple of good saves to keep the game goalless.

 

There was a worry around the half hour mark when Glatzel looked to turn his right ankle following a strong challenge. Thankfully, he has been able to run off the injury following treatment.

It puts us back on top of the North section on goal difference from MUFC, who have a game in hand.

He is 21 and has 2 top flight (In Scotland) goals to his name. 

 

Michael Ngoo outscored him in Scotland.

I expect that Liam will move on in the near future - Probably out on loan in January with a permanent move in the Summer.

 

However, that said, Liam is the type of forward that Klopp likes. Pacey and direct while working his socks off for the team. For those that haven't seen much of Millar, the comp that comes to mind for me is with Timo Werner, though minus the goals...

[Allan]

O'Rourke on for Glatzel at the break.

[alles ist gut]

O'Rourke preferred to Hardy off the bench, interestingly.

Suspect that will have been influenced by Joe just coming back to fitness recently. Fidel works hard, but he's not the same threat that Hardy is at this level.

Kelleher saves with his legs after a goalmouth scramble

Ritaccio off Sharif on in midfield 

[Allan]

Sharif on for Ritaccio.

[alles ist gut]

Free kick on the edge of the box by Morton barely clawed away by their goalie.

[dave u]

I always felt that Michael Ngoo was fun to watch. Thought he'd have had a better career than he has.

[alles ist gut]

No pelanty, offside after O'Rourke tripped in the box.

[Allan]

Penalty after O'Rourke was adjudged to have been fouled.

[Allan]

Linesman had his flag up, offside. No pelanty.

[alles ist gut]

Hardy replaces Longstaff.

[Allan]

Hardy on for Longstaff for the last 10 minutes or so.

 

Quiet game for Luis who had been playing as the central forward in previous games, before being moved to the right side of the trio today.

[Allan]

Hardy been on the pitch for moments and is down in some pain now after another strong challenge from the visiting side.

[Allan]

Hardy to be stretchered off with his leg in a splint. Left ankle is the problem.

[alles ist gut]

Our players are going mad at the ref over the general snidery of the opposition, to no avail.

We'll have about eight minutes to play with ten men
