Hello Eds just a quick question on the liverpool Youth system, since they have capped the wages has there been a massive improvement in attitude and who do you think is most likely to break through out of the under 18s.

Thanks and Happy NY.

{Ed001's Note - far too early to tell what effect a move like that has had. It will take time before we see if it effects the quality of the players joining the youth system etc. I haven't had a chance to have a look at the youth sides for a couple of seasons now, doing the sites just takes up too much time for me to spare any for watching them sadly.}

From the u21s I’d go with most likely to step up as
Brewster - obviously.
Yan Dhanda - talented all-rounder in attack, seems to be a Lallana like player
Matty Virtue - not a superstar but I really think he’s always competitive in midfield, would really like to see him in box to box role for cup games
Connor Masterson - supposed to be one of the better CBs
Grabara - tough for GKs to get chances at the moment but think he’s very good

Unfortunately think Wilson missed his shot due to a certain Woodburn just being better.

From u18’s
Adam Lewis (think he is potentially an outstanding left fullback one day)
Curtis Jones - talented no.10
Tagseth - seems to be well rated
Liam Millar - very hard working and talented forward
Rafael Camacho - can play all across the front line

The problem is that with very limited slots available for first team opportunities, we’re lucky if one breaks through every 2-3 years. I think most likely that’s going to be Woodburn and Brewster so hope those to get all the game time they deserve, then maybe Adam Lewis down the road.
