Davies
Bradley Quansah Koumetio Beck
Morton Stephenson Norris
Balagizi Musialowski Woltman
Liverpool had a big chance early on as Musialowski couldn’t convert from 6 yards out but since then it’s been all Atletico. Should probably be more than 1-0.
Koumetio having a bit of a mare again.
Blair on for Musialowski at half time. Wasn’t a good performance by Musialowski - presumably carrying a knock.
Bajcetic has also come on, replacing Luca Stephenson.
Unfortunately the referee seems to believe that any physical contact is some sort of war crime.
2-0 Atletico
Liverpool were much improved to start the 2nd half but Koumetio lost the ball on the half way line and a quick counter attack led to a second goal for the hosts.
Billy is some boy for errors
Silly Billy? 
too much pressure for the young lad on the continent?
What a life. He looks thoroughly miserable as well so if he wants I’d be happy to switch jobs until the contract expires.
Liverpool staff probably wouldn’t even notice/care.
U23s v Blackburn Rovers
Pitaluga
Quansah Boyes Koumetio Gallacher
Clayton Bajcetic Dixon-Bonner
Bearne Woltman Beck
Subs: Hughes; Bradley, Chambers, Stephenson
Currently leading 1-0 through a Dixon-Bonner goal.
2-0 second goal for Dixon-Bonner. Looks like those first team training sessions are helping him out.
Referee has had a 'mare here. Given a penalty against Koumetio when the replay seems to show it clearly hitting the top of his shoulder.
Score is 2-2 now.
(Slowed down replay shows the ball hit Koumetio in the face).
Layton Stewart back running on grass.
He’d be quicker on speed.
What’s this game the u18s played in Spain. Against some Middle Eastern Academy. Won 4-0.
It’s actually Liverpool U19s who have a team competing in Madrid in the Al Abtal International Cup.
Like the look of Morton since pre-season and now after two appearances.
He may not go all the way or stick long with us (difficult, because we’re the top level right now), but I prefer his talent to a lot of other CM’s that were “coming through”.
Like Klopp said, we’ll see how it goes, he talked about them needing to work on his physique. But the football understanding and technique is there.
I think he’s got a better chance than someone like Clarkson. Because it’s also easy to say “work on physique”, it depends from player to player.
Sorry probably been discussed to death on some other thread but anyone know why it was Harvey Blair not Kaide Gordon in the cup game?
Just got back from injury, last night was too early for him.
Thanks, hadn’t seen he was injured must have missed that. Was my initial thought that he might be injured but then saw him in training photos today. Shame as think it was the right platform for Gordon to have a breakout performance. Probably too soon in Harvey’s development although I thought he did surprisingly well.
