Jurgen Klopp played a young cannon in his starting lineup and James McConnell played on Sunday at 5-2 Fa Trikes.
McConell, in 19, ranked fourth with Bradley, the fourth round of the fourth round. At both ends of both ends of both ends at both ends of seven objects. It was the latest chapter in the Northern Ireland international’s impressive introduction to senior life for Liverpool. He stood out for his tenacious play on the right, especially when in possession and playing with Sam McCullum. After Ben Gibson denied Curtis Jones in the 16th minute, Diogo pulled off a fine one-two with Jota before teeing up Nunes to restore the Reds’ lead.
After the win, Klopp waxed lyrical about the pipeline of emerging talent at the AXA training facility in recent months, admitting the performances of Bradley, Quansah, McConnell and Bobby Clarke this season cannot be overlooked. “There is still a lot of work to do,” said the German. “Bobby Clark didn’t play [today] and I think he’s done really well the last few games. Trey [Nyoni] and Dancy [Jaden Dunns] are special under 18s… [Lewis] Coomas! There are still a lot of good players coming out. “I’d say the academy is in a good period in terms of production. James [McConnell] probably thinks he’s a number eight but he’s a smart footballer.
He has everything – the aggression and the attitude to play as a number six and he did very well today. Also, as a great footballer, I saw this not only in Curtis’ cross, but in many other moments. “Conor [Bradley], I love him. [Jarrell] Quansah, I don’t know how much more I can say about him as an academy [player]. Now I’d say it’s settled. Sure, he can get better as he gets older, but he’s just as important a part of the team as anyone else.”If it weren’t for the people, we wouldn’t be where we are today. It’s good to have them because there’s no getting around it. Not that I’m giving them a chance, but that I’m knocking on a door I can’t ignore.
And that’s exactly what they did.”Assessing Liverpool’s overall performance after Jota’s Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenburch added first-half goals from Jones and Nunez to secure a 5-2 win over Watford or Southampton next month and a draw in the round fifth, Klopp said: It was said so. . It worked really well, better than anyone involved, and [I] loved the game. It’s a tough game.
We are playing against an opponent who is looking to counter-attack. It’s a nice 4-5-1. So we have to get used to it. “I told the players at half-time that it would be difficult if we had more goals, more direction and we could pass faster at times. We saw one or two diagonals that we tried and that was good, but no this time. he didn’t, it doesn’t make sense.
