40 pics of training today on the official site: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/355639-liverpool-fc-pre-season-training-melwood-photos

I think I can see Duncan, Glatzel, Ejaria, Sharif, Lewis and Johnstone.  Any more?

Plenty of the U23s training with the firsts is the photos from Sunday pm session now out on LFC website eg Johnston, Glatzel, Lewis, Larouci, Duncan. And Ejaria is there too.

It will be fun to see to what extent some of our youngsters are involved in the first few friendlies. We will barely have any senior attackers available, so we should see a significant amount of the likes of Wilson/Brewster/Jones/Woodburn. I think it will be very interesting to see Woodburn in particular- last year ended up being a writeoff for him (still can't quite figure out where it all went wrong) but I think he's a real talent and can still make an impression.

Also interested to see whether Jones is deployed as a front 3 player or in midfield. Personally I think he's better in midfield but he's got enough about him to do a job on the left as well. Fun times.
They all got decent involvement last year after the world cup, Wilson especially. Agree though, be good to see if Brewster has what it takes to impose himself on the first team.

Conor Bradley (young Northern Irish lad) should be officially signing this week as he turns 16. Should be fun to see a few new exciting attackers in the youth sides.

I’m hoping to see Glatzel getting some game time at Tranmere. He seems like the sort of intelligent forward who can thrive at first team level.

Couldn't agree more, Glatzel is definitely one of our biggest prospects in my opinion.

Sounds like him and Duncan could be going on the US tour:

Agree with you both, I think Glatzel has "it". Works hard, can score all sorts of goals, drops deep and links play but can also poach goals. He may not be a standout physically but I think he's an excellent prospect. I think he has a bit more about him than Bobby Duncan at this moment, though of course I'd like to see them both succeed.

u23s played to a 0-0 draw with Crewe today in a friendly. Billy Koumetio featured at CB (for the first time since joining us, I believe). Abdi Sharif was the standout performer, per the match report from the official site. It was quite a young side, with a lot of 17 year olds playing such as Fidel O'Rourke, Jack Bearne, and Matteo Ritaccio.

Putting van den Berg to one side, Glatzel is probably the youngster that excites me the most after Brewster and Hoever. I think he's one of those that will likely get promoted to play full time at Melwood while continuing to play for the U23.

u18s also played a friendly against Burton Albion and won 4-0. 2 free kick goals from Jake Cain, and one each for Niall Brookwell and Oakley Cannonier (the ball boy who gave Trent the ball for THAT corner against Barca).

Cain's first free kick was a stunner.

16 year old first year scholar Layton Stewart played the number 9 role and was a standout for the u18s. He's recently been touted as the next 'one to watch' by academy staff and some journos.

The difference in heights of the U18s players in the 1.5 minute clip df  the goals is striking.  If the no 5 was Remi he seems to have filled out a bit and grown, and the newbies in that group look as though they have still to start their growth spurt.   :D

He’s been getting in the Germany u21 team so he’s obviously well thought of over there as well. No doubt the Bundesliga teams will be sniffing round before long. If he can see a route into the LFC first team squad he’ll be more likely to ignore their approaches when they come.

Duncan and Glatzel for me.

Both going on the USA tour as well which will be great for them.

I try and watch as many of the matches as I can and I've really missed out on Glatzel. He's passed me by totally for some reason.

I'm still sad Tagseth didn't make it. I hope Brewster and Glatzel and Duncan kick arse in the US.

They’re not updating the younger age group yet for some reason but I’ve seen photos of Patrick Raitanen signing for another club (in Europe) yet he’s also still listed on lfc site.

The Germany U21 team. Really? The u21 euros were on during the summer and he wasn't with them. What makes you think he has been getting in the Germany U21 team? His last cap that I seen was for the Germany u18 team.

Have to say I agree with you here- which is why I think Glatzel is better positioned to make it. He just seems to have a more well rounded game than Duncan at this stage. Still young though and a lot can happen in the next two years.

That's pretty much my opinion too, although they're both young and there's still a lot to develop of course.

Hope Glatzels injury wasn't a bad one today...

Most impressed by Hoever. The lad was on another level. We need a proper thread for Hoever soon. He is something special.
I don't even know what his position will be, because his skills are so unique. He is more Beckenbauer than anyone I have seen.

So a forward that has the main attribute in his position which is scoring is going to struggle.

He already played for Man City youth team and is now at Liverpool, won the youth cup and is now involved in pre season and clubs in German are wanting him.

You do realise that other things can be worked on. He's young.

Yes, 18s rather than 21s. But the point remains the same - he will be on the radar of the German clubs’ radar to an even greater extent than their usual monitoring of youngsters at English clubs.
