On a less edifying note, the Guardian’s Fiver service indicates the Academy alumni Layton Maxwell - I think he played once for he firsts - has been jailed for eight years for a drugs gang involvement.

Played once for the club and left 22 years ago and one rags headline refers to a former Liverpool player.

One for City to add to their dossier of the moral turpitude swirling around LFC.

Yahoo! were reporting it as 'Ex-Liverpool player' (and kept on doing so throughout the article) where he played more games for Wigan, Swansea and Cardiff!!

Relatively inexperienced U18s today for the 1100 match v Stoke, perhaps due to the UEFA match midweek?

Might  also be some plugging gaps for the u21s as a knock on with the first team needing some acadmey players on the bench again

[smurfinaus]

How are the U23's doing this season? Any of the attackers doing well enough to get minutes in first team? (with the number of injuries happening right now..)

Given we have two goalkeepers and two players who were u18's last season on our bench today ahead of any u23 player tells you all you need to know about the talent in the u23 team.

Kaide Gordon the only player at that level worth talking about but he has been out since February. Layton Stewart maybe also but he is playing his way back after 13 months out with an ACL but he is in good form so maybe he gets minutes in the cup.

I would love to see Layton get his chance, he's had to wait a long time for it and those ruddy injuries keep coming at the exact wrong time.

u-21 beat everton today,Doak got the winner.U-18 beat stoke 3-2.Dunno if any highlight videos will be around.

[Gerry Attrick]

I’d like to see Doak get a go. He may not be ready but some dynamism wouldn’t go amiss.

What a player. Scored in the JPT midweek on his first game for the u21s as well

Having arguably more of an impact than Gordon did, who was a bit younger in fairness

Is it even arguable? Can’t remember a youth talent(Forward) having this sort of impact since Sterling.

[Asam]

As an impact sub it’s worth having someone like him on the bench, we can use 5 subs now so don’t see the point of having a bunch of defenders and goalkeepers and no forward option

[Chris~]

As a first year scholar, like Doak is, Gordon was starting a League cup semi final against Arsenal, scored in the Fa Cup. As an u16 he came in and scored  at a really good level at u18 level and scored on his debut for the u21s as well and his overall game was really good.  Woodburn was also playing a high level.and making a big impact as an u16 and first year scholar who's.probably the next closest.

Tyler Morton having a brilliant time at Blackburn. I know it’s the championship an all that. But apparently he’s literally running games. Always good to hear 👏🏼

Nah that's very impressive, even moreso that it's the Championship at 19 on his first loan.  Hopefully he can keep it up.

He got an assist yesterday as well and playing the full 90 min.

He looked decent last season. Probably best that he’s getting regular games and not being dragged into the madness swirling around us at the moment.

[Fromola]

Morton and Bajcetic at least give us a bit of hope for the future in midfield.

If we can get a result at Ajax then Bajcetic can play Napoli and Derby and if he does well then he could play more after the break.

I think Napoli would be a baptism of fire.

[Fromola]

I think Napoli would be a baptism of fire.

He can't do any worse than the midfielders (and rest of side) did over there.

If we get a draw at Ajax it's a dead rubber match anyway and we don't want to test him in a league game. Rest whoever we can for Spurs.

[reddebs]

Kids ko at 3pm today on lfctv if anyone's interested.

Christ mate they talk shite about the senior players whose names they know but waffle total fucking shite when it's the kids.

[Legs]

Napoli are going for Serie A title so i'd say they will rest players too.

It could if we do what we need to today be reserves v reserves sort of.

Big fan of the bit of European dance music before kick-off.

Nice looking stadium,decent crowd.

[Hedley Lamarr]

I know he’s a baby, but I get a little bit arsed off each time I see Doak on the team sheet because part of me wonders whether Klopp will throw him on the bench.  Probably massively too early but if anyone would it’s Klopp.

The lad who is banging them in is not playing ...injured ?

[Coolie High]

That was a great goal, this Ajax side already looked very well coached we can’t seem to get hold of he ball at the minute.

[Boston always unofficial]

Nowt from Liverpool so far,getting out played here.

[Coolie High]

They do look much better than us.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Cannonier came off injured a couple of weeks back, looked like some sort of strain.

[gerrardisgod]

Corness feels a bit wasted at full back, got nobody to get their foot on the ball in the midfield.

But then, it’s all about learning new things at this age.

[RyanBabel19]

Just seen one of the worst dives i've ever witnessed bizarre

Although we look outclassed right now, Doak still looks a big threat
