"Istanbul", apparently, wherever that is...

No.

He was supposed to go out, dunno what the hold-up is. Dal Varesanovic, 18-year-old Bosnian winger/wide midfielder, we've technically owned him for 2 years, but he wasn't cleared by FIFA, then wasn't fit. As for Balagizi, all I know is that he's English, a midfielder, played for England Under-16s earlier in the year, and doesn't turn 16 til next month.

Meanwhile, at tropical Kirkby, the Under-23s are underway vs. Spurs... George ; Williams, Larouci, Boyes, Clayton, Dixon-Bonner, Chirivella, Elliott, Kent, Jones, Brewster. Subs : Atherton, Gallacher, Bearne, Varesanovic, Duncan.

Here's the offal version : https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academy/360199-liverpool-u18s-blackburn-match-report

Opening game of the Under-18s season, away to Blackburn, we've scraped home 7-1. Team given as :- Winterbottom; Norris, Quansah, Koumetio, Savage, Ritaccio, Clarkson, Hill, Cain, Beck, Stewart. Goals credited as Stewart (2), Beck (2), Hill (2), Cain.

A teaching moment, as they say.

3rd minute of stoppage time, Jones runs through and crosses but Bearne, unmarked at the far post, can't get a touch.

Just went to sleep at the back post. Not good enough.

Jack Bearne on for Harvey Elliott.

Jones with the long-range shot, tipped over the bar.
