Wow, good result. Will try to catch the game later (damn keep forgetting I have sky+ now and forgot to set record). The way our youngsters have been playing recently, coached by Mike Marsh, I wasn't expecting a win. Nice surprise.

Duo back LFC initiative

Academy youngsters Conor Coady and Tyrell Belford were the guests of honour at a ceremony held to celebrate the work of the Merseyside Fire & Rescue service's Princes Trust programme.

The duo joined members of the team in marking the transformation of a garden based at the Red Balloon Learner centre in Anfield from a downtrodden mud bath into an idyllic setting for children to enjoy.

The programme, which is run from Bootle/Netherton fire station, is held in conjunction with Liverpool Football Club's Action for Health scheme and consists of 10 young men from the age of 18-25 enrolling in a 12 week personal development course.



LFC's Programme manager for Action for Health, Mark Haig said: "The aim of the programme is to increase confidence motivation and skills, and as a result enable unemployed team members to move into employment, education or training.

"In week one of the course the team were given a talk on healthy eating before they embarked on their week residential in Llanberis, North Wales. The week was full of team building activities ranging from abseiling, orienteering, caving and climbing Snowdon.



"This was then followed by team work on real projects in the local community. The team chose The Red Balloon Learner centre for the recovery of bullied children as their chosen project. The centre is set up specifically to recover severely bullied children who are out of school and missing education. They provide short term educational and therapeutic programmes."

The Academy duo's presence isn't the first time Liverpool FC have been involved with the Red Balloon charity.

Skipper Steven Gerrard previously visited the centre when a donation of £20,000 was made by the Barclays Premier League's Creating Chances initiative and Liverpool selected the Red Balloon Merseyside branch as the recipients.

Nice little Report on Chelsea's website, nothing on our's yet..

RESERVE REPORT: LIVERPOOL 3 CHELSEA 1
Posted on: Wed 26 Oct 2011
The first match in Wednesday's double-header on Merseyside ended in defeat after a disappointing display from the second string who scored their goal late in the game.

It was Kaby Djalo (pictured) who pulled one back with his side already three goals down in a match that was played at Liverpool's academy. Chances proved hard to come by throughout for the Blues who following an unbeaten run at the start to the season have now lost three games in a row.

Chelsea have been guilty of giving goals away too easily in the recent defeats and so it proved again when Liverpool took an early lead.

Seven minutes had been played when centre-back Carl Magnay's loose pass forward went straight to Raheem Sterling. The Liverpool right winger attempted to curl his shot into the top corner but was assisted in beating Rhys Taylor by a deflection off Magnay that looped the ball over the keeper.

The second goal came 29 minutes later and during the time between Chelsea had spells in the Liverpool half but could manufacture nothing more dangerous than a Ben Gordon far-post header which was straight forward for the Liverpool keeper to catch.

Chelsea were showing a worrying tendency to lose the ball inside our own half and Liverpool's centre-forward Adam Morgan had an on-target shot blocked by a Todd Kane diving header. Then Krisztian Adorjan had a shot tipped round the post by a fully extended Taylor after the Liverpool midfielder had evaded challenges from George Saville and Gordon.

Stephen Sama was booked for the home side for tripping Aziz Deen-Conteh who was in full flow and heading towards the home side's area, but Billy Clifford was well over with the free-kick that followed.

Magnay successfully blocked a Morgan shot when Liverpool found too much space around the Blues' box just past the half-hour mark.

On 36 minutes Chelsea were cut apart by the best move of the game. One-touch passing from the home side saw Adorjan find Sterling with a ball between Kane and Magnay and he squared to give Morgan a tap-in.

Chelsea avoided going three down before the interval due to good goalkeeping from Taylor. A deflected shot from a very acute angle from Bradley Smith had the Wales Under 21 international rapidly adjusting his position to save.

There was a moment of hope for Chelsea before the break when Conor Clifford lobbed a ball forward which dropped between Milan Lalkovic and the Liverpool keeper. Lalkovic was quick enough to reach it first but was unable to find a way past Tyrell Belford from a very difficult position.

There was almost a quick response to Dermot Drummy's half-time talk when Magnay rose high to meet a Billy Clifford free-kick but he headed over.

The Geordie stopper's game ended soon after when he went down in pain after a challenge, to be replaced by Daniel Pappoe.

Marko Mitrovic followed on soon after with Nathaniel Chalobah coming off, which allowed Billy Clifford to drop into midfield and Lalkovic to use his pace out wide.

The Slovakian did so to collect an excellently flighted Conor Clifford pass but Mitrovic was tackled when trying to make something from Lalkovic's centre.

Before that Taylor again acquitted himself well, saving a header from Conor Coady.

Liverpool looked to have scored another tap-in on 65 minutes but the offside flag came to Chelsea's aid before at the other end, Andre Wisdom headed off the Liverpool line after Saville had challenged their keeper to a high cross. In truth the Reds' centre-back had always looked likely to prevent a goal.

Liverpool did add their third on 69 minutes with a slick passing move that saw Sterling thread a pass through the heart of Chelsea's defence for midfielder Coady to guide home.

Chelsea pulled our goal back with 13 minutes to go, Billy Clifford spotting Kane's charge forward down the right wing. The full-back drilled a low ball into the six-yard box to where Kaby was able to slide the ball under the keeper. It was a well-crafted goal.

It would have been an interesting last few minutes had Conor Clifford been a couple of yards closer with his free-kick attempt from 20 yards out, but although the likes of Saville and the two Clifford's had made their presence more felt in midfield in the second half, there can be no complaints about the final score.

Just before the final whistle, Pappoe, recently back from injury, went down in pain and was helped off the pitch.

Chelsea (4-3-3): Rhys Taylor; Todd Kane, Carl Magnay (Daniel Pappoe 51), Ben Gordon, Aziz Deen-Conteh (Rohan Ince 75); Conor Clifford, Nathaniel Chalobah (c) (Marko Mitrovic) 52, George Saville; Billy Clifford, Milan Lalkovic, Kaby Djalo.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Tyrell Belford; Emmanuel Mendy, Stephen Sama, Andre Wisdom, Bradley Smith; (c), Conor Coady, Michael Roberts; Raheem Sterling, Krisztian Adorjan, Michael Ngoo; Adam Morgan.
