In terms of potential and performance, is the age group from 16-22 the most talent the club have ever had?

I can't think of a time when LFC have had so many players in that age range, who you wouldn't be surprised if they established themselves in the first team, in years to come.
It depends what do you classify as establish themselves in the Liverpool first team? 50 apprarence? 5 apprarence or how do you define it?

It’s not hyperbole, it’s the same when I said Harry Wilson was already the best free kick taker at the club....

There are not many better passers of the ball than these two even in the first team, this is not hyperbole it’s pretty conclusive if you have watched them play.
I think people have a hard time interpreting what I mean, but that’s on you not me, them being great passers of the ball doesn’t mean they will be world class players in our team, if you have a hard time understanding that then.....

Brannigan was a good passer of the ball, Suso was too, going further back so was Jon Welsh and neither made it here, Clarkson and Cain are great passers of the ball, as is Curtis Jones a great dribbler, and if I  made a similar statement about Curtis Jones already being one of the best dribblers in the squad last year I’m sure I would illicit the same response, but it’s true...


It's become apparent where your custom title "My opinions are facts, FYI" comes from ;)

Let me assure you there's nothing tough to interpret in your hyperbolic statements about those two young players, or about Chirivella being unquestionably better than Winks already.

You believe that of the 50 or 60 footballers at the club, the two greatest passers of the ball are Clarkson and Cain. I think that's hyperbole. I suspect that maybe if a handful of our senior players dropped down a few levels and started playing games against teenagers you might reconsider their passing ability and maybe reign in the sweeping statements about players who've made single figure appearances of professional football for LFC.

It’s funny how posters I barely notice, seem to remember my posts more than I do theirs and use it as a stick to beat me with in other unrelated threads.

The Chrivella comment was a off hand comment with not too much thought put behind it, I just thought to big up a player in our team against one of an opponents who I barely watch play. On the other hand a comment I make about players I’ve watched extensively players who play for my club is different, at this point I’m tired of making the same point over and over again, but let’s for one second defer to another smarter posters opinion...

I always remember phase of play saying after 17, the improvements professional footballers make technically are marginal, so why is it outlandish to think a 16-17 year old can be already better in an isolated part of their game than a senior player? Was TAA not one of the best passers at the club at the same age? Is Curtis Jones not one of the best dribblers at the club at the same age? Joe Gomez not one of the fastest players as soon as he came here at 18? Did you see Michael Owen run at 18? In fact lest scale it down even more, did you see David Amoo who never amounted to as much a top flight footballer at the same age, he was already one of the fastest players at the club playing in the u 18’s!

Of course that never sufficed in him becoming a top footballer, because just being an excellent passer or excellent dribbler or incredible fast by itself is rarely enough, most of the times you need a myriad of qualities to make it at the top level, and even after that, there is many good technicians in the lower leagues who didn’t have the physical or mental attributes to make it at the very top.

So yes Cain and Clarkson are two of the better passers at the club, with probably only a handful of first team players I would consider better in that remit, certainly not the 50-60 players you mention, and my opinion can be still be a just one even if they never make it here, and I’ve explained a similar point like this before but not everyone is blessed with understanding or indeed common sense, I guess I do make a lot of buzz statements, but I can always explain my reasoning and I don’t think it’s a crazy one.

I can't think of a time when LFC have had so many players in that age range, who you wouldn't be surprised if they established themselves in the first team, in years to come.

Probably, but I guess that's something people are saying of pretty much every generation of academy-players. I think a big difference today is the state of the club overall, everything seems to work perfectly in and around the club at the moment. With that being said, there's loads of players in the academy that I wouldn't be surprised to see having decent careers, hopefully some of them at LFC.

In the hyperbole-gate I'd say that some of the academy-players definitely have attributes that can compete with the top players at the club. Clarkson is definitely a great passer, although it looks even more impressive cause of the opposition, of course the players he ususally plays against aren't that good at reading the play, closing him down or cutting out passing lanes as the players Henderson or Fabinho plays every week. Same goes for Jones and his dribbling skills.

Yep there is nothing wrong with admitting Cain or Clarkson are great passers of the ball already, for most players their technical DNA has already been in place before they even make the first team. Clarkson and Cain are good technically but there’s other things to consider and these things are just as important in them making it here, things such as their physical and mental capabilities which is just as important as their ability on the ball, both are very slight and neither blessed with great pace, so these factors can play a part in them making it here, yet it doesn’t negate their ability to pass the ball.

Lijnders said this about Clarkson earlier on in the season, based off what they have seen of him playing alongside our first team!

Snip

You’ve already done this with poor Harry Wilson, where posters have gone quite negative about him to balance out the utterly stupendous hyperbole about how he would walk into any other team in the league and other such nuggets. Please give these two kids a chance Coolie. We know you like to chuck out mega statements in the hope one of them develops into a megastar and you can go I told you so, but please leave out the nonsense.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Wilson would play games for every other team in the league is more along the lines of what I said, the top teams consist of the likes of Dan James Mason Mount Saka  etc playing regularly btw.

But moving on God knows what  the hell you’re on about, so I could say I told you so, nope not at all, if you’re so miserable where you can’t hear compliments for young players is best you ignore my posts as I’m tired of explaining things in detail only to get replied with people who have little to say about football and more to say about me personally, just ignore me from now on, I already do the same with you.

We can all hear, and like to hear, compliments about our youngsters because they’re at an excellent level. Just stop with the hyperbole, that’s all people are asking. You’ve done it a number of times, my guess is you actually do it on purpose now because you’ve got that reputation and play up to it. But honestly, there’s no need to. It’s just as easy to praise youngsters without calling them the two best passers of the ball at the club, the best dribbler at the club, the best free kick taker at the club, would walk into any other team in the league, has better technique than Salah and Mané etc etc.

If you do watch as much of these kids as you claim to, then frankly you’ve got a responsibility to not put so much pressure and expectation on them. Cain and Clarkson are 18 years old and they’ve played three games for the first team. It’s not on for you to be labelling them as the best passers at the club and putting that sort of pressure on them on a hugely popular forum.

Ok mate, thank you, maybe you should make some detailed posts about these players as opposed to following me about because that’s all you seem to do these days.

Read the posts again, Cain and Clarkson can be two of the better passers at this club and still not make it here, Jon Welsh was of similar stature and didn’t, Suso was similar in regards to dribbling and didn’t, Amoo was in regards to sprinting and didn’t. If you don’t understand that concept that speaks to
more of your lack of understanding of this game we call football, than it does me, so let’s leave it at that.

I mean....John Welsh was a team mate of Gerrard, Alonso, McAllister, Redknapp, Berger, Murphy, Hamann, Kewell, Agger (amongst others). He’s since carved out a successful League One level career. So rather than him being one of the best passers at the club during that time and not making it here because of other factors....I’d suggest actually he wasn’t. And that, as with a lot of youngsters, he looked good at a lower level with more time and space, less pressure and a much poorer standard of player. Which is why then comparing to first teamers is utterly pointless. You’ve named someone who in hindsight was over hyped because he was young and Scouse and did well at reserve level.....after naming two young scousers as amongst the best passers at the club after three senior games between them :duh

I like the look of Layton Stewart whose a forward in the under 18's. He scored a hat trick last time out against Sunderland, has an eye for the spectacular. He gets a mention on the video below alongside his striking partner Fidal O'Rourke.

https://youtu.be/Fd4gV8Zy9tA

His last goal against Sunderland finished in 5th place on goal of the month on LFCTV.

Thanks for the vid, though it was a bit cringe to get through! Layton Stewart would eventually find his way to rightback anyway - after Neco Williams moves up to rightback alongside Trent in central mid.

Bit of an under-the-radar player at the moment, Neco Williams. I have a sneaky feeling he's really good.

Have a sneaky suspicion this prediction might turn out to be spot on!

At the time he was a 16-year old and I remember watching him in a U18s game and just going "hang on, how come this kid never gets mentioned when we talk about our young players with big potential?"

Adam Lewis is the one a lot of people were talking about but I always thought Neco was way better, just like I thought Jones would be better than Woodburn ....

Which also makes me wonder why we would spent £100m plus on Sancho

Don’t see us going for Sancho but I wouldn’t see Sancho being a direct competitor for Jones anyway. Although we do see Jones play on the left of the front 3 quite often I think his future is in midfield and initially he’ll be taking Lallana and perhaps Shaqiri’s space in the squad to some extent. Obviously they haven’t taken up many minutes this season but I feel that’s the starting point for Jones.

I agree, Jones is more of a #10 (or maybe #8) for me than a left winger, although it's good for both him and the club that he's good at LW too. Sancho would compete with Mané and Salah for a spot. I wouldn't mind Sancho at all.

U19s drawn away to benfica in the youth league.
Liverpool U19s will face Benfica away from home in the UEFA Youth League last 16.

The young Reds progressed to the knockout rounds of the competition by topping their group with 13 points ahead of Salzburg, Genk and Napoli.

Their reward is a trip to the Portuguese side. The one-off tie is scheduled to be played at 3pm GMT on Tuesday March 3.

U23s are at Wolves tonight, the first of 4 games in 12 days.

Given that none of the U23 outfielders are in the CL squad it should be a very strong team.

U23 are 1 up away at Wolves after an hour. Missed the goal but think Hardy scored
He did.  Tap in from a Curtis cross from the left.

Cain scored a great goal to win it right at the end

Never give up these lads.  Great goal from Cain to win it in added on time.

The Wolves penalty looked soft. Vdb looked as if he just put his body across to protect the ball and their player dived.

My lad played at St George’s Park tonight and our u-23 game was also played here tonight. The reds youngsters were brilliant with photos and chatting to a bunch of excited 11 year olds (and Dads!!)

Shouldn't there have been an U19 CL game yesterday?

How does Hardy look to you Jill? Like a potential squad player or is he filler?

Wind was horrible wasn’t it? Spoiled so many good things, but not the wonderful passing of Cain and Clarkson.

Don’t want to go over old ground - it’s very difficult to step up to the seniors when you’re slight of build and aren’t lightning quick. But I just love watching these two.

Cain and Clarkson were the stand outs again, they have both made great progress. Also I though Jack Bearne really pressed well. As you say, the wind spoilt quite a bit, that corner that went in and then ended on the other side being a good example. Not surprised Klopp hates the wind so much.  ;D

The under 18's playing against City on LFC Go tomorrow morning. That could be a great game.
