Match report from his last game as a QPR-player: Independent R’s » QPR U18 (1) – Brighton & Hove Albion U18 (1)

 

From that match report he sounds ace!

In the action all game and then cooly netted the winning penalty in the shootout.

 

Nice one. Hope he does well.

Raheem Sterling scored on his debut as Liverpool Under-18s produced a stunning second-half fightback to beat 10-man Everton 4-3 in a thrilling mini-derby on Tuesday afternoon.

 

The Reds recovered from a 2-0 deficit to see off their Blue rivals, with the former QPR teenager enjoying a dream start for the club.

 

Michael Roberts (penalty) , Krisztian Adorjan and Craig Roddan (penalty) were the other scorers as the away side made their numerical advantage count, following the 46th minute sending off of Toffees defender Shane Duffy.

 

It was an afternoon to savour for boss Rodolfo Borrell, who dedicated the victory to first-team manager Rafael Benitez.

 

"It is a nice victory for me, but especially for the fans and the club," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.

 

"I am also happy for Rafael Benitez, as he invests a lot of time in the club and the Academy.

 

"He made a bold move to bring me and the rest of my staff to Liverpool, so it's nice to be able to win this sort of match for him."

 

Reflecting on a rollercoaster 90 minutes, Borrell admitted his side were almost made to pay for some poor defending.

 

"We cannot concede such sloppy goals," he said. "If you concede so easily then normally you lose the match."

 

The Reds coach also had some words of encouragement for debutant Sterling, but was keen to stress that it was a team performance that saw Liverpool come away with the three points.

 

"I was pleased with Raheem's contribution and that he scored on his debut. He is quick and skilful but still only young. He can improve tactically and has a long way to go, but he is a great signing for this football club.

 

"He was one of a number of good individual peformances, but the main thing was how well the team did as a whole. That is what matters most and they all contributed to a deserved triumph."

 

Liverpool under-18s: Oldfield, Flanagan, Robinson, Wisdom, Sama, Coady, Sterling, Roberts (Roddan 74), Ngoo (Emilsson 76), Adorjan (Alex Cooper 90), Ince. Unused subs: Matty McGiveron, Deale Chamberlain.

Jesus Christ, you won an u18 derby game for God's sake, not the FA Youth Cup final. If anyone from Everton had said that kind of thing we'd piss ourselves.

[WaltonRed]

Agreed Dave.

 

Another shameful carry on.

[Thants]

He's probably a little bit excited.

[Delmar]

I think that everyone at the club is being criticized these days relentlessly and without mercy. I am glad that Borrell said something positive, stood up for himself and Rafa, good for him.

It is called solidarity. Take a leaf out of the man's book and show some. get behind your first love. Cherish it, nuture it and most of all support it.

[dave u]

I am looking forward to seeing this lad play though. Will try and get along to the next home game and report back on my findings.

Will genuinely look forward to hearing about him. He does sound like the mutt's nuts.

[Wor Horse]

Gay.

[Boomshakalaka]

Gay.

 

Actually I am far from happy.

 

But seriously even if you do not like the sentiment or how it is articulated you have to agree that this must be the base of any supporter's relationship with their club.

 

If you disagree that is your bad and I will forgive you for you are family. Now how about getting down with some incest bigboy?

[JohnnyH]

We won the mini mini Derby. Our new signing scored. The U18s manager was happy.

[Monster Masch]

£500k and he's not 16 until Christmas. He'd need to be a player.

He looks about ten.

[PaulMcC]

He must be a good player if he's playing for the 18s at 15.

 

Hos goal was very lucky though.

[Arl arse]

Keeper had a mare.

[Wor Horse]

Sterling looks about 5.

 

Lightening pace though.

[Jose Jones]

Who's the number 11, Tom Ince? He looked quite jinky.

Racist!

[J-V]

Racist!

 

:lol:

[Kurt]

Isn`t Jose Baxter heavily involved in their first team, tipped for super stardom ( by the blues )? Strange move playing him in an u-18 match.

[PaulMcC]

I think he is, Kurt.

 

Highlights on eseason of Sterling. Looks good player with pace.

[Vincent Vega]

Who's the number 11, Tom Ince? He looked quite jinky.
