Re: Youth and Reserve Thread

Ojo has improved soooooo much. Has started the season in a blistering form. Today's performance was magnificent from him.

On current form he rivals Harry Wilson and Rossiter as our best prospect.

Tier 1: Wilson/Ojo/Rossiter
Tier 2: Branagan/Kent
Tier 3: Canos/Sinclair
Tier 4: Chirivella/Dunn/Lussey/Tricket-Smith/McLaughlin
Tier 5: The rest

Not counting Yesil and Pelosi who are just back from long term injuries. Samed especially would rank high in that list.

Tier 1 imo will surely make it with us. Tier 2 has a decent chance. Anything below that is tough to call. Tier 3 is the last resort, still a chance if you they are in this tier but very last resort. Anything below this imo are just building their careers to be solid pros somewhere else. NOTE: players can move up and down these tiers as they are still very very young.

Also not seen enough of Yan Dhanda but he's hyped plenty. Once he's promoted to U18 we will get a better look at him. But it's too early to be putting him in these lists.

And finally looking forward to seeing Madger Antonio kid we just signed.

I would put Adam Phillips up in tier 2 at least for now and Kent up in tier 1. Kent is fantastic and on his game is up there with Wilson, Ojo and Rossiter.

Tier 1: Wilson, Ojo, Rossiter, Kent
Tier 2: Phillips, Canos, McLaughlin, Dunn, Yesil
Tier 3: Branagan, Chirivella, Lussey, Sinclair

That's how I see it right now. Also don't forget the UEFA Youth League mirrors the Champion's League and I think our squad is quite a strong one and should do very well in the competition. All of Ojo, Rossiter, Chirivella, Phillips, Sinclair, Wilson, Canos, Brannagan and Kent will feature. Very strong and deep in midfield and at attack...I expect we'll make it far.

Goal 1-0 Sinclair

Sam Hart assist. Ojo assisted the assist.

by Nishankly Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:33 pm

Rossiter's play is not of a 17yr old.

by Nishankly Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:39 pm

Cleary volleys it to the O'Hanlon on the wing from the center, Who crosses it and Clearly heads it in. One two One lmao

2-0

by Nishankly Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:39 pm

3-0 O'Hanlon. Kent assists.

by Nishankly Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:47 pm

Ht Liverpool U19 3(Sinclair,Cleary,O'Hanlon)- 0 Ludogorets U19

Kent, Rossiter and Cleary the stand outs. Ojo another winger similar to Ibe.

by Curtinho Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:04 pm

Damn, I didn't realize that it was on so early. Ojo will be better than Ibe IMO. He's really stepped his game up and has an extra dimension to it that Ibe doesn't posses (at least not yet, Ibe has too much tunnel vision but Ojo does not).

by Curtinho Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:09 pm

Sinclair has some nice pace and strength for his age.

by Curtinho Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:13 pm

Against better sides I would actually play Ojo in the middle so Wilson can feature.

by Curtinho Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:19 pm

Wilson coming on. My boy. Proud

by Nishankly Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:24 pm

Ojo has horrendous decision making. I know he is very young, But atleast pass it to the guy who's in space rather than taking on 4 players everytime.

by Curtinho Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:43 pm

Cracking free kick from Wilson just off the post comes back to Sinclair and he slots it in. 4 - 0.

Why? Makes no sense? do we need him for the reserves?

by Curtinho Wed Oct 22, 2014 1:49 pm

I really like the line-up for the Real Madrid game today for our youth team:

Fulton
Whelan-Brewitt-Cleary-Maguire
Brannagan-Rossiter-Phillips
Wilson-Sinclair-Kent

Expecting a win.

by Nishankly Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:25 pm

2-0 up already.

Would have given live updates but some crazy stuff going down in Ottawa today so I was a bit preoccupied.

Wilson and Rossiter were fantastic though. Wilson was a threat literally all game...RM couldn't handle him at all. Rossiter absolutely bossed. He is going to be something else. We were scrambling for a while after going up 2 - 0 early, but ultimately squeaked out the 3 - 2 win thanks to Wilson and Rossiter.

by Nishankly Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:11 pm

Liverpool U18 2-0 up agianst Bradford within 10 mins in the FA Youth Cup.

Both goals for Sinclair and Canos setup by Ojo.

by Nishankly Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:20 pm

Adam Phillips 30 yards hits the bar.

by McAgger Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:38 pm

We got drawn with Benfica U19 in the CL Sad

They are very good.

by Nishankly Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:44 pm

no 4 is Rossiter
no 6 is Phillips
no 7 is Canos
no 8 is Chirivella
no 10 Kent

Kent looks head and shoulders above these boys. No place for Wilson sadly in this side.

by Nishankly Mon Feb 16, 2015 6:56 pm

Liverpool U21 playing Sunderland U21. Rossiter, Chirivella and Kent injured.

#LFC U21s team to face @SunderlandAFC: Fulton, McLaughlin, Smith, Jones, Maguire, Williams, Randall, O’Hanlon, Sinclair, Brannagan, Wilson
