He has the skill, just does not use it!!! We need to promote Tavares!!! His dribbling combined with his physique is Dembele esque (the ex-tottenham player) 2
Collymore Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 I'm telling you now that Mitchell Clark will play for the first team one day. 1
Foxes1 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 Never seen a Liverpool team give the ball away like this before we need to capitalise on it again
sacreblueits442 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 ....like the first team, we do not have a shape in the last third and the easy lay off is not on and the chance is gone. The Leshabella chance just needed someone on the outside to support. Hirst picking good ball high up the pitch but no one close enough to support.
st albans fox Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 My eight year old has a better touch than a lot of these boys ..... v disappointing...
sacreblueits442 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 ...now playing on the counter.....MOTM Hirst.....!!!
st albans fox Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 (edited) Conceded the equaliser in the fifth minute of four added on ...... poor game management ........ having watched that second half, I would be a happier Liverpool fan looking at the two sides !

Really? A lot of poor passes and mistakes by both sides, but our play looked more exciting, whereas Liverpool were very methodical and pedestrian, I thought.
sacreblueits442 Posted 20 September 2019 Posted 20 September 2019 ...feel sorry for Hirst...you could see his legs were gone but he kept going, occupying their CBs!! Liverpool technically a better team but we had chances on the counter but did not support Hirst quick enough and failed to give the man in possession an option.

I thought they were trying to develop a style of play. We just looked like we wanted to win any way we could and were much more direct. Agree they also made olenty of errors but I felt they were being quite brave with their play .....

It's U23s not under 19s. If that's what people want then the league setup needs to be looked at - as I've said before. 13 hours ago, st albans fox said: Conceded the equaliser in the fifth minute of four added on ...... poor game management ........ having watched that second half, I would be a happier Liverpool fan looking at the two sides ! It's not about the result - apparently.

Don't care if some of them are 16 or 17 they are taking the piss at times in the U18's.

They'd have to fight it out with Regheba, Hirst and Muskwe. They may be better off getting game time in the u18s.

I think he's a very gifted young player, not seen too much of him but trying to get down to a few U18 games this season. I have seen a couple in the last year and loved it, definitely seem a talented and progressive side. 2 hours ago, Foxxed said: Fair enough I can't barely remember who our wingers are. Sort of playing with wide forwards aren't we in the U23's that are or were strikers in Muskwe and Regbha. Even George Thomas and Leshabela aren't natural wingers but have played out wide at times. I'm sure if Pennant and Fitzhugh keep doing what they're doing they'll be called up this season.

The u23s doesn't seem the kind of place where attacking midfielders flourish tbh. Barnes had a season in total in the u23s but I'd have more faith in defensive players improving. If they're still developing in the u18s I'd rather attacking players stay there then impress in the u23s for a quick loan. 1

Yeah I think so, Barnes was fast tracked quite quickly from U18's and then half a season with the U23's and then on loan to MK Dons. It's certainly not quite as big a jump from U18's to be ready to go on loan at League One or Two quite quickly, that's why I get so annoyed that we don't get our best U18's moving up quicker. The whole process feels a few years behind but we can't change that overnight really without cutting through a swave of young pro's. I'm still waiting for us to fill all the vacancies we have in the academy staff.

The whole process feels a few years behind but we can't change that overnight really without cutting through a swave of young pro's. I'm still waiting for us to fill all the vacancies we have in the academy staff. I think it is to be honest. Look at Sheiff - looked good but is now on the bench in league one. Ndukwu - was an unused sub in the last match in league one. Loft - soso in the u23s and now on the bench in league two. Only the players who have consistently stood out in the u23s - Chilwell, Barnes, Hamza eventually - have been good enough for league one. And you have to question is league two or the u23s is better for player development. Only the best, and u18 England internationals, will be sure of a league one loan with any speed. Is Arlott John an England international? If not he may be better getting the best training and that may be in the u18s.
