Liverpool FC Youth Teams

[redmike65]

XI:

Fulton; Flanagan, Polgar, Maguire, Hart; Chirivella, Virtue, O'Hanlon; Wilson, Sinclair, Kent

Subs:

Firth, Whelan, Dhanda, Trickett Smith, Lennon

All Southampton so far but its also clear to me that they are taking this seriously as a contest whereas for Liverpool its about game time.

[redmike65]

Liverpool have had a decent spell forcing a excellent clearance off the line by a back peddling defender. Several corners in quick succession. Raining.

The camera position is terribly low

Most of Liverpool's shots have been outside the area, taken early but not that accurately.

[redmike65]

Harry Wilson starting to cause some trouble with his left foot coming inside from the right flank. Kent on the left.

Soton should have scored, forced an error from a CB and had a clear shot on goal, wide.

Flanno rusty under Sotons pressure game.

Soton 1 - 0

Nearly 2-0 Soton, the back line are terrible tonight!

[redmike65]

Liverpool have a peno, Flanno bought down after a nice 1-2 with Wilson

Wilson takes and scores

1-1

Kent shoots from distance again, after a corner cleared - all LFC corners have been short.

HT

Soton 1 - 1 Liverpool

A fair reflection of the game. Early Soton pressure was soaked up somewhat haphazardly then Liverpool grew into the game with Jerome Sinclair and Harry Wilson causing some problems, the back line is a bit iffy I have to say. Southamptons very quick closing down has caught them on the back foot more than once tonight.

[redmike65]

Flanno off Virtue at RB and Brooks Lennon on, stationed wide. Kent comes inside.

Liverpool start the half on the front foot,

Southamptons players are quite a bit taller then our lot.

Wilson with good shot at goal.

[redmike65]

Soton free kick off the post.

Liverpool corner....going short, comes to nothing.

Polgar the centre-back has never caught my eye and nothing he has done tonight has changed that for the better.

[redmike65]

Soton pace down their left causing trouble, corner won. Ends with a goal kick.

Corey Whelan coming on for Matty Virtue

Sinclair whips in a ball from wide right, claimed.

This commentary pair would drive you to drink, they are so dry and droning....I have nothing stronger than coffee.

Soton corner, taken short and booted wide of the goal.

[redmike65]

Pretty quiet game now, back and forth no real chances.

LFC free kick on right edge of Soton area

Kent whips it straight in

1-2 GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[redmike65]

Liverpool win free kick on counter attack, as Soton push forward 5 mins to go.

Liverpool bring on Tricky-Smith for Sinclair

Free kicks runs to Saints keeper/.

Liverpool strike on goal just wide, deflection. Corner comes to nothing.

In added time, Soton throw in.

[redmike65]

Saints win free kick on LFC left.

Headed well wide, for throw in. LIFC clear and move forward, ball won back.

Nearly over.

LFC throw in.

U18s playing away at Stoke



Liverpool U18s: Kelleher, Lewis, Owens (Johnston 78), Masterson, Parker, Coyle, Dhanda (Nicholas 70), Kane, Woodburn, Alves (Alexander-Arnold 85), Brimmer. Sub not used: Atherton (GK).

FT 1-3 goals from Ben Woodburn & Callum Nicholas plus a Stoke OG

Woodburn is on fire since he moved into the 18s (which is only appropriate! burn/fire geddit? Oh please yourselves.)

For anyone who is interested Caoimhin Kelleher's first name is pronounced "Kwe-veen", a variation on Kevin.

[BigChief]

Wonder why Trent Arnold didn't start. He's been made captain before hasn't he? Maybe to give everyone game time.

How did Woodburn and Dhanda do?
