Pre match - Preston Away (League cup)

[Modo]

Liverpool academy starlet Harvey Blair is rumoured to be starting for the Reds in their Carabao Cup match against Preston North End on Wednesday night.

The Huddersfield-born winger joined Liverpool in 2015 at U12 level from rivals Manchester United.


Now 18, Blair is starting to progress through the ranks after he signed his first professional contract with the club in October last year, shortly after his 17th birthday.

He was promoted to the U18 set-up for 2020/21 and started his first-year scholarship, but last season was hampered by injury and persistent hamstring and ankle problems.


He made just four appearances and scored two goals in the U18 Premier League last term, so far this season he's made five league appearances and scored one goal.


U18 manager Marc Bridge-Wilkinson named Blair as a 'player to watch' this season, provided he can stay fit.


He told the ECHO in August: "Harvey Blair is another one: if they stay injury-free and we can get them on the pitch, they can start to show people what they are about."

Ahh...the next Harry Kewell

[LeTallecWiz]

Who the fuck is Blair?

He's a soul eater

 

[Alan Hardaker]

I hope Blair sticks one on Johnson..

Come on you new labour..

Johnson on the bench tonight..too knackered after screwing the country up in the Commons today

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Looks like a strong line up with a serious bench. Be surprised if we can't put Preston back to sleep.

 

[Bradley]

I hope Blair sticks one on Johnson..

Come on you new labour..

Hopefully he has his fiscally sensible mate Brown at his side to keep shit together.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Isn't Jones kinda first choice now that half our midfield met the grim reaper?

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Freddie Flintoff claiming he's a closet Liverpool fan......I blame Salah for this...all he has to do is stand in corner..keep schtum..but no..he has to rip the crap out of Mancheater U....now all these hangers on want a piece of the action....fecks sake....

 

[Markeh]

Isn't Jones kinda first choice now that half our midfield met the grim reaper?

yea true, just not used to thinking about him in that way

 

[Shadey]

Shankly will be watching this from above.

[Red rose]

Ole’s at the wheel, christmas number 1 I reckon haha

 

[Modo]

Huh...seems like we're not playing with any wingers.

 

[Modo]

My days, this is shite

 

[Shay_K]

We have 2 Harveys on our books.

 

[Shadey]

In other news Barca have lost again tonight surely that’s the end of Koeman.

 

[binomial]

This is a bit shit.

 

[SummerOnions]

Can't say I'm too surprised. None of these players have played much senior football save for Matip, Jones and Tsimikas.

Hope we can last the game, not concede anything stupid and find a bit of magic to change the game

 

[Shay_K]

Gomez asleep

 

[keniget]

Has Gomez lost a bit of pace?

 

[Modo]

Has Gomez lost a bit of pace?

Seems like it, mentioned it before. Now it's pretty evident.
