Liverpool FC Youth Teams

[red g]

Uruguayan striker Agustin Davila has begun a two-week trial period with Liverpool ahead of a potential move.

Aged just 17, Davila currently plays for Atletico Penarol youth team, where he has earned a reputation as a pacey and prolific striker, scoring over 100 goals at youth level.

Reports in the Daily Mail claim that the forward will be monitored over the next fortnight by the club’s academy director Alex Inglethorpe.

This comes after news that the Reds look set to miss out on another talented 17-year-old Uruguayan in Joaquin Ardaiz.

It is understood that Ardaiz would prefer an initial move to a smaller club in continental Europe despite reported interest from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Ardaiz, who has a London-based agent, is a big Liverpool supporter and watches their matches on the TV in his homeland.

“I like Chelsea and Liverpool. I love the Premier League and want to play here,” told The Sun over the summer.

“I watch lots of games and like the Manchester derby when you feel the atmosphere.

“People have said I have similar characteristics to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“I’ve been working very hard on the physical side of my game to get to England.”

Prefer to let the current crop of 17-18 year olds develop myself - got a decent crop for a change.

Rhian Brewster, Rafael Camacho, Yan Dhanda, Liam Millar, Glen McAuley, Okera Simmonds plus Ben Woodburn and Toni Gomes at u23

Everton with the first chance of the match - header just wide, should have done better. Everton top of the table in this league.

[Venton]

Good work by Everton, prizing us open, shot a smidge wide.

[Venton]

Sakho with a Cruyff turn in his own box whilst under-pressure. It comes off. This time...

[Venton]

Bit of pressure from us, 2 corners in succession.

And we have some obligatory handbags after an agricultural challenge by Brannagan who is given a yellow.

[Venton]

Oooh, one-two between Wilson and Brannagan ends with the keeper at full stretch palming it away. Nice move.

[redmike65]

Not really watching this but I was just struck by Sahko v Matip, the former even at U23 level still looks like he is fighting his own body for full composure whereas Joel looks like Hansen by comparison.

Good crowd by the way.

[Venton]

Yup, and Sakho gives away a free kick just outside the box. Reflexes just not quick enough. It's difficult to dislike him but he seems quite awkward doesn't he? His mind wants him to move and there's a bit of delay before the body obliges. Luckily the free kick was ******'s cramp.

Fantastic goal by Brooks-Lennon!!!!

[Venton]

McGuire crosses from the left right into the danger area - Brooks-Lennon leaps like a salmon and heads back across goal into the far corner. Great build up play between Virtue, McGuire as well.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

[Vermilion]

get in.

Connor Randall and Liam Marsh booked for what I can only assume is rich and colourful language between each other. I'm no lip-reader but I'm guessing that Randall won that one on points.
