Topic: Youth and Under 23 Thread

[thaddeus]

I watched a podcast with his brother was on. He got a bad injury when he was about 15 and was out for a year which stalled his progress relative to Coady and Flanagan.

His Dad gave him a lot of bad advice.

Reading between the lines his dad has a grievance with LFC and took his flesh and blood to Yernited in revenge 

Off topic a bit but it seems strange that so many of the UK's most promising talents end up losing years of development time, and often their careers, to bad injuries in their early to mid teens.  Just the nature of the beast or something inherently wrong with the development pathways?

Going off what I read about him and his brother, his dad sounds a bit of a knob. Probably after money.

Yes it is on LFC TV. Not very inspiring though

[FlashGordon]

It's on Bournemouth's YouTube channel.

No Doak in the squad...

Could be in line to make the squad for the seniors tonight

With the lack of options in the wide areas I think he'll make quite a few squads over the coming weeks.

[disgraced cake]

Definitely think Doak will be in the squad for quite a few games until the end of the season. Think he was on the bench for Southampton and he obviously impressed off the bench against Derby. Bit of a difference in the opposition tonight but imagine he'll be on the bench again, and if he gets any more minutes in upcoming games I'd fancy him to look sharp enough to carry on making the bench. We've got the Wolves cup game coming up too and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets some minutes there.

[disgraced cake]

1-0 at half time to the reds, Danns the scorer

[phil236849]

Weakened team out. Scanlan at LB the most eye catching for me

[disgraced cake]

Ahmed makes it 2-0 with just over ten minutes to go. Bournemouth had all the possession in the 2nd half but not really created a good chance. Should be game over.

[Ghost Town]

Liverpool are Ahmed and dangerous!


(I also groaned)

[gerrardisgod]

Nice big black screen on my TV for a good few minutes, quality has been shocking all game.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Ahmed makes it 2-0 with just over ten minutes to go. Bournemouth had all the possession in the 2nd half but not really created a good chance. Should be game over.

Gets a five-for on his test debut and a goal on his U18 debut. What a week!

[Samie]

Already been anointed the "Egyptian Prince". 

[disgraced cake]

Yes, worth noting he's still only 15 and has been in the Egyptian youth set ups, had only heard of him earlier so nice to see him make an impact. Team seemed a bit weak so I'm guessing injuries over the break etc and maybe just a chance to rotate against a weaker side

[Boston always unofficial]

I only caught the second half so solid rear guard effort or under the cosh and lucky to scrape thru.Do wish they'd stick the names on these lads shirts,tough trying to figure out who's who.Port Vale in the next round.

He didn't have the best game. Gonzalez tormented him all game.

[phil236849]

He didn't have the best game. Gonzalez tormented him all game.

I disagree
As did the lfctv commentator
And although gonzalez appeared dangerous and everything went through
Him he scored no goals and didn’t create anything really
And scanlan bombed forwards well too

[dakid]

Well if a lfctv commentator said it! :-) You don't have to score or assist to have tormented your opponent and given Bournemouth are a team from the Youth Alliance League you wouldn't expect either situation.

[smurfinaus]

Havent been following the U18 or U23....how are the midfielders we have (not on loan) been this season?. Is Mabaya still being played as a RB or midfielder?

Dunno about the rest but Morton has been decent at Blackburn, if inconsistent.  Showed real glimpses of quality, but reading their forums, I don't think the Blackburn fans are convinced by him.

Mabaya has been out injured for what seems like ages.I thought Balagizi would get a shot at first team but that loan and injury has probs set him back.Been so long since the u-21's played i forget the line up,but they play Spurs tomorrow so we'll see who shows up for a game then!U-18's lost this morning at home to Blackburn 2-3 and have a youth cup game at Port Vale midweek.

[RedBec1993]

Makes sense Jones wasn’t in the squad as he’s starting for the under 21s today.

Is the game on anywhere do you know?

[RedBec1993]

Thought it was on LFCTV but it’s not, don’t think it’s on anywhere else either.

[jillcwhomever]

Thanks, they don't always have it on. Maybe able to follow it on the Echo reporter on twitter.

[elfin priest]

For just £45 a year you can watch this and all (?) the other Spurs youth games on Spursplay. How's that for a bargain eh

[Bincey]

Sounds like Ramsay was sent off...

[terry_macss_perm]

1-0 to Spurs at HT.

https://twitter.com/LewisBower2021/status/1612067346868305920

[Boston always unofficial]

Final 2-0 to Spurs first league win of the season for them,Ramsay sent off after 23 minutes,Jones subbed out at half time.Not a good weekend all round.

[TepidT2O]

I’m not saying the Red for Ramsay was soft… I don’t think soft even covers it…

Incredible decision.

Doak was subbed off at HT too. Might have been pre-planned to give them 45 mins each.

Yeah not convinced by that, but if the ref thinks he's touched him, gotta give a red.

Yep,the offi site match report says planned subs.Also noticed the u-21's play PSG on wednesday.

[Boston always unofficial]
