READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
I just want to say, that I’m proud of every single player who played tonight. The way the youngsters handled themselves so professionally is a testiment to them.
This was the youngest team in Liverpool history, therefore it was bound to have flaws anda lack of experience. However, the most important thing was that the youth and academy players expressed themselves and had fun, and that is exactly what they did!
In my opinion, Ki Jana Hoever and Harvey Elliot were exceptional, and hopefully they will reach the top level.
