Under 18s vs Bolton

[Pidge]

Just kicking off on LFCTV.

 

Stephens, McLaughlin, Rafferty, Regan, Dunn, Peterson, Baio, Hatch, Sumner, Lussey, Moli.

 

Interesting that now McLaughlin is playing back with the u18s (and with King away I assume) we are rotating the midfield through the left back role. Not sure how Dunn will do, but hopefully it's doing him and Lussey some good having to job a bit.

Christ...bit open this.

Good game this. 2-1 now after just going two behind, and having a man sent off. Just over ten mins to go to get back into this.

Very good game, not sure what happened for the red card but shame that that and the pen affected what was a great workout for the two sides.

 

Great finish for their second two, although Stevens left his near post two open and wasn't ready for the early finish. Good composure and persistence by Moli for ours as well, also McLaughlin is ace.

Marshy not happy at all with the team today.

Ryan McLaughlin is fantastic. I remember watching him in the Northern Ireland Schools Cup Final and he tore the place up, and got on the scoresheet a couple of times. He is very strong in the tackle (a bit like Flanagan), but his main attribute is going forward and bombing up the line. His idol is Dani Alves, and you can see it in the way he plays his game. He's also a very level-headed lad. I'm tipping him to make it to our first team.
