Finished 5-0, could have had another at the end but Woltman hit the bar.

Great start to the season and an excellent performance. Thought Stewart, Balagizi, Morton and Chambers were all exceptional.

Quansah and Jonas were solid too. The best centreback partnership I have seen so far for our U18

The calmness for that first goal was just brilliant. He had his back turned as the keeper was rushing out and still had the presence of mind to dink it as he spun around.

I'd say no, but maybe the timing will be better for chances for him than Brewster in 2-3 years

It’s an excellent pairing for this level. Quansah looks like he’s got everything in his locker to be a top CB AND Jonas is adapting so quickly for such a young lad.

Stewart has a bit of Vardy in his style of play imo, good pace to run in behind, great finisher, always puts the back line under pressure. he has shown progress in his link up play though, especially as he’s gained more confidence. Looks like he backs himself massively to make something happen every time he’s on the ball.

Probably not as he was right to leave us, going to a side like Derby is where he should have gone once he decided to leave City.

I don't think there's anyone as good as Curtis Jones which I guess is the standard at the moment for an acadmey player to even get cloae to making it at our current level. Stewart, Balagizi and Morton probably the best players for the u18s based on performances

Yes, they mentioned that when the U23s were playing last Friday evening.  His and Joe Hardy with niggles.

Them there are Tom Hill, midfield and James Norris, who are both still U18s but the latter will almost certainly be playing up in the U23s when over his injury.  Ditto Hill although there there are fewer berths in midfield in in the U23s with cCain and Clarkson playing regularly plus eg Herbie Kane who is unlikely to get a loan move with a longer term injury.

Seems like our youngsters have pretty bad luck recently with serious injuries at bad times. You had Brewster, Glatzel, now Hill. It’s a shame as I was really excited about Hill, looked a great talent. Hopefully he doesn’t lose anything when he comes back but I think Brewster, for example, hasn’t got the pace he did have now.

What's the point in this competition for under 23 teams when it always coincides with the League Cup or international breaks?

Hope, for sure. But the odds of them being regular first teamers, is not great.

A game like tonight was good for them, though. IMO

Of the 10 starting outfielders tonight, it would be a huge (if pleasant) surprise if they ever managed a dozen LFC premier league starts between them. The chances are that the final total will be one - and that’s the one that Ben Woodburn earned nearly three and a half years ago.

I’m not being unkind to them, they’re just the probabilities. Especially when there are other teenagers like Jones, Neco Williams, VDB and Elliott ahead of them in the pecking order.

Balagizi, who came off the bench tonight, has a reasonable chance of defeating the odds and establishing a substantial LFC career, as do the likes of Morton and Stewart, all assuming they continue to develop and avoid the sort of serious injuries that have affected Paul Glatzel.
