Topic: Jayden Danns

[Bastion Of Invincibility]

Noticed on social media a lot of people born in the mid-90's feeling old seeing the son of a footballer they grew up with getting on the scoresheet. Reminds me of the shock of seeing Tom Ince represent us back in 10-11 ago. Danns looks much more likely to make a career here though, great stuff.

what a dream, what a brace

[Johnny Aldridge]

When he came on I texted the old man and said this is a boy to watch, 15 mins later I got a response “F**king Phil Lynotts a player alright” 

[wemmick]

I hope we see more of him even as Mo and Darwin return to fitness. We need someone to replace some of Jota's goals.

[itihasas]

Is he a mid or a forward?

[mullyred94]

His a number 9.

thats exactly what i thought.. makes "the boys are {back} intown" appropriate given the last few weeks

your not wrong

Bradley, Quansah, Clark,  McConnell, Elliott (kinda), Koumas, Scanlon, Gordon, Danns, Nyoni all look like they will make it.

Add Jones and Trent to that

You missed out Bajcetic and Doak who Klopp made a point of mentioning. Obviously it’s a little different these days because in the case of Bacjetic, Doak, Elliot we’ve imported them relatively late so much of their academy years have been spent elsewhere. That said, it’d be very cool but unprecedented for that many to make it with us. Most of them look like they’ll have very decent careers. Two or three already look like they’ll have those careers for us. But it’s very, very hard to make it into the first team squad here for the long term.

[Persephone]

I heard this on my way to work this morning, but it really was "Murder on the Dann's floor". Shout out to the obviously Red DJ.

McConnell, Scanlon, Gordon, NYoni, Clark and Bradley from that list where also brought at like age 15 or 16. Like they all still considered academy coming at age. The recruitment and development been really good too

This dude already has more trophy than Kane now. lol

Ah interesting, seems like we've begun to do an absolutely brilliant job of both spotting and wooing teenagers who look like they've got the tools to make it at the top level.

We need "Danns-ing in the Moonlight" to be his song

[boots]

Well done lad. Boss performance.

[AlphaDelta]

Don't know if anyone watched his interview on the pitch after the final whistle last night, but he was so wholesome and just absolutely buzzing. Came across as a cracking kid, said his dad was crying when made his debut. 

[Jwils21]

A bit of Chic on the Kop is long overdue

He’s Jayden Danns
Do do do do
Jayden Danns

[boots]

2 goals at Kop end. 2! Greedy sod. I watched his interview too, nearly had me bibbin...His family will be bouncin for ever.

[Bobinhood]

Well i would like it noted i called for a hat trick BEFORE the game.    Kids let me down damn it.

Obviously that was wildly speculative but the half hour against Chelsea he just appeared to be a natural finisher. That first goal really bore that out. Frankly, i expected row z or well wide and i couldn't believe my eyes when the net bulged, i couldn't quite work out the maths at first blush. Then the replay and he's just nonchalantly lifted it over him, winning the game in the process. Brilliant. Michael Owen vibes, finishing wise.

no pressure kid, no pressure 

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

His link up play is pretty good too. Check some of his highlights from the youth team games, he constantly brings others into the game. Drags defenders all over the pitch

I would say there’s very little chance that all of the above make over 25 appearances for Liverpool.

I’d be delighted if 4 out of Bradley, Quansah, Clark, McConnell, Koumas, Scanlon, Gordon, Danns and Nyoni make 100 appearances for Liverpool. That would be a really successful outcome.

All have the ability to make a living out of football but we are not being realistic if we even think most of these young players will make it at the elite level of Liverpool. That’s a really high hurdle for any young player.

[AndyMuller]

That first goal was a lovely finish.

Who are the last 4 academy players to make 100+ appearances, Jones Trent, Sterling, Kelly? Getting 4 from that group +Doak and Bajcetic to 100+ appearances would be an incredible achievement I'd argue just one getting to that figure would be really successful to be honest

[MD1990]

what very impressice with danns is the chances he has got on the end of & hit the target in his small amunt of mins
in regards to McConnell & Clark i dont see them as exceptional. Bajcetic looks a level above

[Pistolero]

We win a cup final with the kids, Koumas scores on his home debut, Danns scores two into the Kop...and the thread turns into bedroom talent scouts raining on the Academy parade before they've even had their kits washed.......

[Nobby Reserve]

Has Bellew been getting more pelters from bitters for wanting the son of his best mate to do well?

[redbyrdz]

His goals, and what it could mean for his future, are probably even better than us winning that game. One round progress in the cup, and basically a new striker in the team

[sinnermichael]

Murder on the Danns floor.

I think at the start of the season just one would have been the right goal. Quansah's emergence has changed that a little bit though because right now I'd be more surprised if he didn't get 100 appearances. He's good enough to be 4th/5th choice CB already and he's a total baby in CB terms.

Quansah is probably third choice at CB right now. Even though I don't think we really think like that, we just pick whoever is fit of our CBs, trying to manage minutes.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Turns out his grandad is a former European skate boarding champ and his sister turned out for the uk at jr Eurovision Song Contest. That an his dads been mentioned as a ex footy player and music producer

Way too early to build up hopes about any of our current crop of academy hopefuls but Quansah does look nailed on for a long career with us.

The sudden emergence of Danns reminds me of the way Owen burst onto the scene in 1996. No idea if Danns has the potential to hit Owen levels, and obviously he's a different kind of player, but he's made an incredible start. Even if he is that good, we need to manage his minutes so he doesn't burn out like Owen did. Hopefully he'll turn out to be less of a twat than Owen too. Came across well in his post-match interview last night.

[duvva 💅]

The two finishes last night were different, but between them showed a lot of what you want from a striker. The first one was about timing of the run and having that picture in your head of the goal the keeper and knowing how to ensure it ends in the back of the net. Having the calmness under pressure to execute what he wanted to do.

The second was all about instinct and making sure you’re reacting quicker than defenders and being in the right place.

Is he 18? To show these skills at this level at his age is very very promising

[Bennett]

Just watched a comp of his youth goals. A real wide variety of goals.

I think Bradley and Quansah have clearly separated themselves from that group. Both are IMO at minimum the long term backup options at their positions. Barring injury, I think they are as close to locks as you can get.

If we get 1 of the rest to develop well enough to get 100 appearances that would be great. Because the bottom line is they have to be good enough that we can't go out buy 2-3 players that are clearly superior in their position. Which is an incredibly tall order, even if they are all super talented and Premier League quality players.

Still think it's a tall order for any of them just as you never know how injuries, new manager, set backs, new signings are going to impact them. Really just getting to the first team for games is a massive achievement for anyone, let alone impacting them and winning trophies. Also good to see after years of wanting us to use acadmey players as rotation options more they're showing how well it can work! Even if they don't all make it hopefully can give the next manager confidence in the next group as well. Really need, or hope we can get someone as willing as Klopp to take risks on them
