Of course Trent could rotate into CM and Clyne play more at RB, but from what Klopp said recently I don't think he's inclined to do that.   

What did Klopp say recently?

[mallin9]

Hey who was sitting next to Curtis Jones in the stand directly behind Jurgen at the match Tuesday?  Was that a grown up/no more acne Woodburn?  Couldn't tell

[HopefulRed]

Don't know how reliable or otherwise the source

[HopefulRed]

Hah, I thought the link was to tribal football.  The link as described above suggests its completely unreliable!

[HopefulRed]

The link should be into an article in www.madeupnonsense.com.  Not sure why there is a problem, unless it’s a dodgy site

RAWK can be a bit childish at time. They change certain words to other things I can only presume because someone somewhere finds it funny. It's not.

Anyway remove the + below and that is the article. Interesting to hear Klopp say that as alot of people presumed he would be moved bit he can just dominante the whole right channel on his own as Pep Lijnders said.

Thanks for sharing.

Or just read the original interview that TF ripped.

Herbie Kane is nowhere near the first team. If any of the kids are to play against Stoke, it would either be Woodburn or Jones

[dudleyred]

just thinking numbers by the way and IF we make it to Kiev will the likes of Wilson and Grujic be available to us for the squad as a back up? They wont be on loan anymore so will it come down to their age and our recorded B list or something for the competition?

You can add eligible players to the B list at any time, so maybe?

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

I think they needed to be born on or after 1st Jan 1996 and been at the club for two years since their 15th birthday. As long as they are on the B list submitted by 11PM UK time the day before they can play.

So Ojo/Wilson/Kent and Ejaria would be eligible. Not sure about Grujic though....

interesting cheers

was only really bothered with Wilson given his form

Come on and bag the winner perhaps?!

[Bincey]

Ejaria starting for Sunderland tonight.

Quite a string U18s lost their final match 2-0 to Man City this morning

[Chrisfers]

Any team news/updates from the U23s friendly at Bangor City tonight? I seem to remember them having a live stream on YouTube when we played them last season.

Toni Gomes netted twice and Adam Lewis was on the mark as Liverpool U23s beat Bangor City 3-0 in a friendly on Tuesday night.

Liverpool U23s: George, N Williams, Gallacher, Philips (R Williams), Johnston, Coyle (Sharif), Adekanye, Kane (Alves), Gomes (Millar), Lewis (Whyte), Dhanda.

With Gerrard now going to Rangers, I wonder if the likes of Beale might be used as his replacement?

[BabuYagu]

I remember Xabi saying he wanted some time away from football before starting as a coach.

Just saying

[phil236849]

I wonder if any of our youth might go out on loan to Rangers

[Nessy76]

With Gerrard now going to Rangers, I wonder if the likes of Beale might be used as his replacement?

Or Beale himself. (Who are the likes of Beale?)

Makes sense. Might even pick up a few released lads.

[Djimi Smicer34]

I hope he is.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Scratch that, Beale is going to Rangers with Gerrard.

Never thought I would say this again but...

I think I actually give a shit about Scottish Football for next season.

[jillcwhomever]

I hope we bring in someone with some youth experience rather than another former player again. We need to make sure our youth set-up remains as competitive as possible.

[rafathegaffa83]

Very surprising.

[rafathegaffa83]

#LFC considering their options regarding a new under-18s boss following Steven Gerrard's departure. Robbie Fowler a strong contender.

[Djozer]

Would be pretty cool if God got the job, though I can understand the shouts for a more experienced hand on the tiller. Still, he's been coaching on and off for a while hasn't he? Plus, well, he's God.

Surely southampton have 3 or 4 academy staff we can steal

[Hazell]

Yeah, don't know good he is a coach but he's the best finisher I've seen at the club - those three/four years when he was at his best were phenomenal - so him being at the club just for that reason is good enough for me

[rafathegaffa83]

I seem to recall the club had Fowler, Jones and McManaman acting as mentors and coaches back when Rodgers was in charge. No idea, if they are still involved in that capacity.

That would be a very 'Everton' appointment

[PoetryInMotion]

Never thought I would say this again but...

I think I actually give a shit about Scottish Football for next season.

I would as well. Scottish football has suddenly become relevant. Wow!

[BabuYagu]

That would be a very 'Everton' appointment

No, an 'Everton' appointment would be to appoint someone with minimal talent and no real discernible qualities that you would want to be passed down to the kids. Like Phil Neville. Or David Unsworth. Or Francis "1-in-6" Jeffers.

Someone like Neil Ruddock - for example.

Ok lads this session we're gonna see if we can pass a coin across the back four!

[Djimi Smicer34]

That would be a very 'Everton' appointment

Only if you consider Gerrard to have been an 'Everton appointment'.

Fowler has had his coaching badges for a while, has already coached at our academy and set up a successful one of his own (https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fowler-football-academy-expansion-anniversary-12578176).

We wouldn't be doing a former player a favour by giving him a job, Fowler would be qualified to do it.

Possibly, but is he the best option? He's been retired as a player for a very long time now, and he has been working on a part time basis with the Academy for most of that time. If he is really that great a youth coach, why has nobody noticed and given him a full time job until now?

(Can't discuss God without the Devil's advocate...)

I've no idea, if he is the best option then I don't see why he won't get the job.

To say appointing him would be an 'Everton appointment' is just wide of the mark IMO, makes it sound like we'd appoint him because we'd be doing a former player a favour in giving him the job.

We have lost Linders,Beale, Gerrard (and "possibly" Buvac). Gonna be an interesting summer in more ways than the usual transfer stuff.

Massive opportunity. A big influx of new coaches will likely mean we go after the highest rated guys breaking through - the likes of Ljinders of 2018. That brings with it a new eye to assess things, new ideas, fresh approaches etc. Get this right and not only do you take any setback in your stride, you could use it to propel to a whole new level.

A lot of these coaches were brought to the club under Rodgers (obviously not Buvac)? While his assistants may have had people questioning their abilities (what is Colin Pascoe up to these days?), he seemed to have an eye for youth setups.
