Liverpool FC Youth Teams

[Venton]

Keystone cops in our defence in the final seconds, corner to Sunderland - a wild drive by MacNamee heads towards the gasworks like a woeful comet and it's ALL OVER.

Relieved by the final whistle, the fury over, everyone happy.

Cheerz V, entertaining as ever

[Daffy Duck]

Yeah much obliged, I couldn't watch it myself, good to see McLaughlin tore it up

[Venton]

Well, Peterson and McLaughlin were my stand outs there. Especially Peterson, I think this lad will make it, dominates in the air and perceptive on the deck. McLaughlin, frisky as a leveret in spring, all fizz but with great delivery and an eye for goal. Lloyd Jones strong in defence as well. First half we were second best I think but as the match went on we looked the more likely to score by far.

Not may goals but a satisfying win nonetheless.

[Venton]

Nice to see Teixeira scoring too. Hopefully all the encouragement I gave him last year has sunk in.

Good work as ever Venton

[Venton]

McLaughlin, self-deprecating in interview, looks like an extra from a million years bc. He wouldn't look out of place at the end of Das Boot with his wild-eyed look and saxon beard.

United next, this Friday I believe. Won't be able to make that one though.

[Fivex]

Ojo steams through the Sunderland defence like a runaway engine but unselfishly pulls it back to the bewildered Peterson who duly fluffs like. Bad Ojo, should have taken the shot.

[RedReet]

Was a good goal by McLaughlin. Hopefully he can stay fit this year and get himself a decent loan move. Really needs to make an impact this year with Manquillo and Moreno now on the books.

You should be an author with that turn of phrase Venton.

To give Venton's brilliant reporting a visual form

[Venton]

at home to United today with the U21s. And the team is...

Ward, McLaughlin, Stewart, Williams, Jones, Rossiter, Wilson, Lussey, Ojo, Brannagan, Peterson.

[Venton]

and the subs are...

Maguire, Vigouroux, Canos, Pelosi, Yesil.

[Venton]

Due to circumstances beyond my control there will be a truncated commentary of the U21s tonight.

[Venton]

This is usually a tasty fixture with lots of on the spectrum challenges, red cards and fierce language. Who can forget the cup match where Conor Coady was sent off and a number of United fans were thrown out for Hillsborough chants and other unpleasantness? At a youth match. It's like a Western version of Battle Royale.
