The U21s midfield of Rossiter, Brannagan and Texeira was just not fair on that (decent) Villa side. They kept the ball ridiculously easily and won it back efficiently when needed. Its fair to say we won this game comfortably thanks to our midfield.

How often can we say that about our first team?

[Mike]

Really like the look of Rossiter.

[BigChief]

Yeah, Rossiter looks like he has a couple of gears he could easily go up. But is taking his time, thus further demonstrating a wise head on young shoulders.

[Fosterbloke]

Anyone close to being first team material?

[BigChief]

Not really, this batch will be good enough for selling to championship teams.

The next lot that comes need to be better or our academy will have fully regressed.

Liverpool U21s suffered a 3-2 defeat by Bolton Wanderers on Monday afternoon, despite a spirited first-half comeback by Alex Inglethorpe's team at the Kirkby Academy.

Quick-fire efforts had the away side two goals in front midway through the first half, only for Jordan Rossiter and Jordon Ibe to strike back for a strong U21s line-up, including Martin Kelly and Aly Cissokho.

But as the Barclays U21 Premier League encounter neared a conclusion, Bolton defender Oscar Threlkeld rose highest from a corner to guide a powerful header into the top corner and secure victory.

WTF, we conceded 3 goals with Illori, Cissokho and Kelly in our defence? Yeah like they're really breaking down Rodger's door.

[Fernandinho]

A few people on Twitter have often said having over age players in defence like Cissokho and Kelly can be rather disruptive for the defence of the 21's

Having a whole new look defence is never going to be a good thing as they don't play together & have an understanding of each other IMO.

Nice goal by Ibe against Blackpool. 0-1.

[Venton]

Now 1-1, cracking goal by Blackpool from outside the box.
