I wonder is the fact that the younger lads get so much publicity these days part of the problem. Nobody knew Stevie,Carra,Owen or Fowler before they hit the first team. These days with the net, smart phones and all the social media there are so many distractions, and many of these young lads think they have already made it to the big time. They don't realize that its harder than ever to make it to the top as a pro footballer than it ever was. If it were me( unfortunately I was never blessed with the talent to make Sunday league, never mind Pro) my mind would be focused on getting in the LFC first team, plenty of time for "birds" later.
