Youth Team/Cup

[Allan]

Halftime - Liverpool 0 Forest 1

 

The visitors have been the better side with their pressing a real feature of the half.

 

We have created a few chances and have looked bright when we get forward, however, the Forest press is stopping us playing out from the back as we would like to, so we're having to go a little more direct which hasn't always seen us retain possession.

Bobby Clark is caught hard on the right ankle in a 50-50 in our half and has to go off. Louie Koumas replaces him.

Blair hits the bar with a free kick in stoppage time.

And that is that.

We weren’t good enough.

Far away from the spotlight of the title-chasing first team, the injury-plagued remnants of our Under-18 squad trudge towards the end of the season at Kirkby, with a final home game against Blackburn Rovers, who looked like the best team in the league before Christmas, and will now end up a place behind us. No live coverage, obviously.

 

Davies; Mabaya, Scanlon, Chambers, Miles, Stephenson, Pilling, McConnell, Blair, Frauendorf, Cannonier.

Subs : Hewitson, Gyimah, Pennington, Koumas, Roberts.

The advantage is doubled just moments later. Harvey Blair continuing his recent good form with our second of the day.

Did someone say 3-0?
Apparently so, Pilling.

[Allan]

Liverpool 3 Blackburn 0

 

The lead is extended 10 minutes before the break. Tommy Pilling with the goal.

Liverpool 3 Blackburn 1

 

10 minutes into the second half and the visitors have pulled a goal back.

[Allan]

A couple of subs in the second half.

 

Iwan Roberts replaced James McConnell after 50 minutes, while Louie Koumas has come on for Isaac Mabaya in the 62nd minute.

[alles ist gut]

Full time 3-1.

Fulltime - Liverpool 3 Blackburn 1

 

A good win for the 18s today. Assures them of finishing second in the PLU18 table this season.

Is Owen Beck likely to be in the first team squad next season?

He'll probably train with them more and be in the squad for the cup competitions if he doesn't go out on loan for first-team experience.

 

He's made good progress over the past couple of seasons and certainly has similar attributes to Robbo & Kostas, so I'd like to think that the lad has a future at the club.

 

He'll turn 20 in August, so I'm of the thinking that he will need another season before we start thinking of him as a fixture in the first-team squad on a more regular basis.

 

I think a loan move would be beneficial for him, but as always, it's finding the right club to send him on loan to, with the assurance that he'll see significant game time while there.

The 23s are in action this afternoon in their final league game of the season. Kick-off at The Academy at 14:00.

 

They play hosts to the Mancs with a chance to finish above them should we win today.

 

No live coverage of the game, unfortunately.

 

Just waiting for the lineup.

[Allan]

Pitaluga; Bradley, Williams, Koumetio, Beck; Morton, Clarkson, Clayton; Bearne, Stewart, Norris.

 

Subs: Kelly, Wilson, Balagizi, O'Rourke.

 

[Allan]

Liverpool 1 Mancs 0

 

An early goal for the home side.

 

Being credited as an own goal by Shola Shoretire.

[Allan]

Looks like the goal is one I will look forward to seeing in the highlights...

 

 

[Allan]

Liverpool 1 Mancs 1

 

The visitors are level.

2-1?

[Allan]

Liverpool 2 Mancs 1

 

Rhys Williams gives us our lead back.

 

[Allan]

A few moments prior to the header from Williams to put us back in front we were awarded a pelanty - Clarkson stepped upon but saw his effort saved.
