Anyone watched Tyler Morton much at Blackburn?

Managed to tune into a few games, he's a very good player. What he lacks in size he makes up for in willingness to battle and he isn't scared of making tackles and getting involved. Very smart on the ball and his composure is a standout quality, not in the arrogant young player way but in the good vision and awareness way. From my understanding of the game he's very press resistant and plays intellegent passes once he steps out of trouble rather than just shifting the ball on to the closest teammate

I think he has a future here. His passing range is superb and he's got a knack of disguising passes that aid transitions brilliantly, been a few times I expect a certain type of simple pass to keep play ticking over and he'll instead drive a low pass forward taking a few opposition players out of the game.

Be interested to see how he copes with pace in the premier league, he seems decent over the first few yards which can make the world of difference coupled with speed of thought. Unlikely to see it anytime soon but i'd love to see him and Bacjectic gain some extra strength in summer and line up at the base of midfield together in a cup game or two, you could see them controlling a game and having opposition CMs chasing shadows with their playstyle, very Pirlo-esque with the nonchalance and making things look like they're playing at their own pace

I really like the lad and I hope he makes it here. He's got something and I think he's a standout talent. That being said I dont watch them a lot and they’ve been random games here and there, interested to see the plan next season, still young and a lot to learn obviously but wonderful potential which I think he showed in his minutes for us before going out on loan

They are doing well and still in the Cup. Won't want to come back.

Yeah good post, I rate him as well, remind me of Kroos, a bit of Kroos a bit of Didi Hamsun, not the most gifted athletically but a great technician, great passer of the ball, lovely touch and shot, and surprisingly more tenacious than I initially gave him credit for. Surround him with runners and he could be an asset long term.

Wonderful! I hope you are the lucky mascot for the lads, no team news at the moment. One of the Echo reporters usually follows the u 18's, I will see if he is online tonight.

Love an away for the youth teams…

I have to be honest, in my head you are actually Kosovo Albanian so finding out you are from  Ipswich has rocked me to the core.

[duvva 💅]

Thanks for the line up. Is that Bobby Clark? Just got our seats, quite a few reds here actually

Anyone else trying to watch the Youth Cup game on LFCTV GO but instead getting a repeat of the 1sts v Bournemouth? So odd.

Mine's fine but we're watching on the TV rather than the GO version.

[duvva 💅]

Oh dear 1-0, our goalie has made some good saves already

[gerrardisgod]

0-1, that left side of defence is being badly exposed. Could/should be at least 0-2.

[rawcusk8]

Tbf it’s been coming. Poor goal to concede given the young lads had numerous chances to clear.

[gerrardisgod]

The Ipswich keeper is playing like one of those celebrity’s in a charity match.

[duvva 💅]

Ipswich hit the bar. Clark I think just missed a header with the goalie nowhere just too high for him

[HopefulRed]

Considering we have so many injuries at this level (Danns, Kelly, Wellity, Samuels, young, Figueroa, Koumas from the first year, Gordon, Mabaya, McConnell, from the second years, and no Doak or Bajcetic) it is not surprising we are struggling in the league now at U18s, and must be the underdogs in this game.  It’s certainly telling in attack.

[duvva 💅]

Ouch 2-0 in added time at the end The first half. Decent goal by their player.

While it’s great they’re wearing 1-11 I have no idea who anyone is

[duvva 💅]

From 10-30 mins we were the better team but we seem susceptible to the quick break. Wonder where they got that from - shouldnt really be a learning point 🙂

You know when in school there was always one lad bigger and stronger than the others, Ipswich have a couple of them

[Funky_Gibbons]

The big #9 for Ipswich has caused problems all night.

I’ve heard the last statement for the last 10 years I’ve been here, we must be in a perpetual motion of signing lads who are undersized.

Yep strongest lad on the park.

Ipswich goalie loves to be anywhere but his penalty area, hopefully they can test him a bit more second half

Nice to see that our medical team is consistent all the way down 

[duvva 💅]

2 or 3 good chances second half not sure how the last one didn’t go in.

[duvva 💅]

Missed pen. Silly run up.

Over 2500 here just announced. Even the u18 reds brings them out

[jillcwhomever]

It’s good to see a decent crowd.

[duvva 💅]

Ball in the net but offside

Surprised no one posted this, Musialowski scored what will end up being one of the best Liverpool goals of all levels this season, very strange the situation with him, if we don’t rate him we should just let him go and allow to build his career somewhere else.

His talent isn’t in question.

Has he had injuries? A few years ago it seemed as if he was about to breakthrough and then he dropped off the face of the Earth.

Yeah he has to be fair, there’s times he’s been fit though and a couple players have got the nod ahead of him( not the Doaks or Gordon’s of our youth team either), probably a mixture of a few things why he hasn’t kicked on but he did have a knack of picking up injuries at the very worst time in the past.

Timing and chance is as important as anything when it comes to the development of youth players.

[smurfinaus]

Who might be the next CM coming up after Bacjectic and Morton ?

And are any of the young forwards/goal scorers going to come through?.

Amen. They live on a knife edge. Such fine lines between those that do and don’t make it. I love a mazy dribble so hope he kicks on. I’ve always wanted a Kinkladze, Juninho (90s one) type dribbler here. Coutinho scratched that itch for me.

He didn't stand out against Port Vale or Ipswich in the youth cup.
