For him it's probably the best move...in the world

Clarkson did actually score a good goal - from outside the pen area - after he came on. Lucky to get the opportunity so quickly as he only joined them yesterday.

Nice way to introduce himself to the fans.

Balagizi got MOTM in a defeat and it looked like another assist for Bradley too

U18s Vs Middlesbrough next Saturday should be on lfctv next week according to this https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/u18s-friendly-liverpool-6-1-leicester-city

Looks like the Premier League 2 blackout is still in effect though with us Vs City at 2 today not on

@lusbyjack says we have signed a 20year old CB who had been on trial this summer after reLease by Soton. With Koumetio out on loan, we only have Quansah and Jonas in the U21s so I guess more competition/cover is needed. This assume Spearing is not playing CB

not the fastest and not the tallest.

how much do you think we could get for him when man u starts bidding?

apparently the 20yr old CB was released by southampton last year. Hope he can do a decent enough job since the coaches think he could be worked on playing with our youths.

think we do have another trialist that is rather an unknown due to reasons.

I thought it was being changed to under 33's now we've got Spearing back.

Bradley’s just scored an absolute screamer for Bolton, seems he’s made an impressive start there. Was one of the players given a rest and scored minutes after coming on.

NsRed · « **Reply #104938 on:** August 10, 2022, 02:36:36 pm »

Nice to see Bradley and Clarkson score crackers for their loan teams this week. I imagine they’ll both be hits a,one the supporters. Balagizi seems to have started life well at Crawley also. I still have hopes for him potentially breaking through here. He’s just got so much ability on the ball and the stature to really impose himself on a match. Compared to a Morton/Cain/Clakson, he could be something special with that combination of technique and physique.

Not meant to sound like a criticism of those other 3 lads at all- just a comment on how I rate Balagizi and his potential. Obviously those lads are a bit further ahead in their development and have had more opportunities around the first team. Hopefully a successful loan stint will propel him into that stage next summer.

Notice Blackburn have lower league Hartlepool in the cup tonight, probably be a first start there for Morton and hopefully the beginning of his run in the team.

Cannonier signs a new deal

Can you imagine how great it'd be for him to come into the first team, and score at the Kop End? The ground would explode. It's going to happen from a Trent corner isn't it

2007 born! Pinnington starting for the u18s. On lfctv at 1230

Lots of change from last year

disgraced cake · « **Reply #104946 on:** August 13, 2022, 11:59:42 am »

The u18s group could be a really exciting one to watch this year, loads of interesting attacking talents again like Doak, Koumas, Kone-Doherty, Figueroa etc

Best of luck to them

Oskar · « **Reply #104947 on:** August 13, 2022, 12:41:36 pm »

Early goal for Ben Doak, good start for him.

Oskar · « **Reply #104948 on:** August 13, 2022, 01:06:05 pm »

This looks a really exciting group - just over half an hour gone and 4-0 up, two goals apiece for Doak and Koumas.

Doak looks a real talent.

tubby · « **Reply #104949 on:** August 13, 2022, 01:21:31 pm »

Is Doak playing right or left? He's right-footed and all the clips I saw of him had him playing as a traditional winger on the right. Are we playing him on the left, cutting inside?

disgraced cake · « **Reply #104950 on:** August 13, 2022, 01:24:14 pm »

5-1 at half time. Yeah, these lads might be a fun watch. Koumas has three, Doak two.

Only been able to catch bits but looked like he was on the right cutting in. Looks very two-footed. Quite Ryan Kent

Ta. Two-footed wingers are the business.

xbugawugax · « **Reply #104953 on:** August 13, 2022, 01:41:18 pm »

jason koumas and the fountain of youth? his sideburn alone is worth 3 goals.

seems like our youth is really pretty good. or is middlesbrough really that bad?

disgraced cake · « **Reply #104954 on:** August 13, 2022, 02:37:52 pm »

6-2 full time.

Koumas with 4 and Doak the other 2. Excited to see what those two can do plus others named above.

tubby · « **Reply #104955 on:** August 13, 2022, 02:38:29 pm »

Where does Koumas Jr. play, thought he was a midfielder?

Doak played on the right and looked very good. Early days but looks like he might play some u21 football this season.

Kone-Doherty was lively but is a bit undersized for the moment, even at this level. Definitely a good prospect though.

Koumas worked hard in the heat and Ranel Young showed some nice touches too.

Redman78 · « **Reply #104957 on:** August 13, 2022, 04:07:57 pm »

Interestingly it seems Conor Bradley is playing in the front 3 for Bolton today. They are down to 10 men though.

disgraced cake · « **Reply #104958 on:** August 14, 2022, 05:09:05 pm »

Layton Stewart with an equaliser right at the end for the 21s today. Looks like he got sent off too afterwards. Brighton had only scored very late as well. They were playing the likes of Colwill and Alzate too.

Also, when did the league become the under 21s again as opposed to the u23s?

At the start of this season.
