Youth Team/Cup

Any of you blokes surprised by the progress made by Morton? He’s looked quite promising. His talent isn’t quite as obvious as Jones or Harvey, but he looks comfortable enough.

Not really surprised by his progress, though him playing a full 90 for the first team has probably come much earlier than I would have guessed.

 

He was a standout for the 18s the season before last, forging a good partnership with Dom Corness in the middle of the park.

 

He then made the jump to the 23s last season after starting the season with the 18s and took it like a duck to water, didn't miss a step. He worked really well alongside Cain, Clarkson and co in the centre of the pitch for the 23s.

 

He continued his good form for the 23s into the start of this season where he became the main man in midfield for the 23s following the loans for Cain and Clarkson, so it was only a matter of time before he made his way into the first-team squad at some stage this season.

 

He's obviously benefited from one or two injuries and the likes of Cain and Clarkson having gone out on loan, but he's certainly grabbed the opportunities presented to him.

The 18s host Man City tomorrow in the Under 18s Premier League Cup, kick-off at 11:00.

 

The game will be shown live on the offal, with live coverage starting at 10:55.

Is Morton more highly rated than Clarkson? I remember Klopp sort of compared Clarkson to Lahm.

Edit : 16-year-old Kyle Kelly gets a first appearance on the bench; he is older than the other outfield subs.

The only saving grace there is that Mrozek didn't bring their player down.

 

 

[Allan]

Liverpool 0 Man City 1

 

Horrible back pass from Davidson is punished with the City forward rounding Mrozek to finish easily.

 Neither team is enjoying the weather, and perhaps it will look different with the teams turned round.

[Allan]

Half-time - Liverpool 0 Man City

 

The early mistake is the difference between the sides at the break.

 

Both sides have had chances, but we've just had the solitary goal in the first half.

[Allan]

Koumas on for Laffey.

You hate Man City that much you couldn't even put their score on, good on you.

2-0

A break down the right results in a deflected shot that beats Mrozek.

[alles ist gut]

Full time 0-2

We didn't take our chances at 0-1 and that got punished.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Think we've got a diamond in Bajcetic.

I think Clarkson's more expansive in his play, but Morton might be more equipped physically. Clarkson's size and relative lack of pace is what might hold him back. Like, Chirivella would be a good watermark for him to reach at the moment, let alone a real first team option.

 

And I say that as a fan of his. Smart player.

The 23s host Leicester at The Academy today, kick-off at 14:00. There's no live coverage on the offal.

Hope one of our youth team finally wins. Seems to be loss after loss.

We have apparently gone 1-0 up according to FlashScores through Max Woltman.

[Allan]

Liverpool 1 Leicester 0

 

Max Woltman opens the scoring.

 

Still waiting to see the full line-up for today, but we know that Beck, Dixon-Bonner and Woltman have all started.

 

@TheoSquiresEcho is providing updates via Twitter.

[Allan]

Line-up:

 

Pitaluga; Bradley, Quansah, Boyes, Beck; Clayton, Morton, Dixon-Bonner; Gordon, Woltman, Norris.

 

Subs: Davies, Koumetio, Corness, Bearne, Musialowski.

And he provided this, showing our commitment to getting the game on…

Now 2-0, Bradley misplaces a cross into the far corner, which is as good a place as any. #Analysis

[Allan]

Liverpool 2 Leicester 0

 

Conor Bradley doubles the lead with a cross that floats into the far corner of the net.

[Allan]

Halftime - Liverpool 2 Leicester 0

 

Nice to go in at the break with a 2 goal cushion. A goal from Woltman and a fortunate effort from Bradley have us 2 goals to the good.

[alles ist gut]

We make it 3-0 (Bearne, on for Gordon) in stoppage time, and that’s how it ends. This result takes us above our opponents in the table, along with Chelsea and a small club.
