Cheers. Anyone saw the game? Wilson seems to be pretty impressive and very confident whenever I've seen him. How did he do?

arent Birmingham struggling already, not that it matters, just hope that he will get more and more game time there
Cheers for that Modo. Good to see our attacking prowess runs through all levels, though the U-21s are now somewhat lacking in the striker department with Yesil crocked, Morgan out and Ngoo sent on loan.
Liverpool U-21s vs Stoke U-21s coming up.
Team: Mersin, Smith, Sama, Lloyd Jones, Paez, Chirivella, Dunn, Peterson, Lussey, Brannagan, Bijev
Subs: Firth, Maguire, Jordan Williams, Rossiter, Sinclair
Good to see Sinclair on the bench. Three CBs in that starting lineup with Sama, Jones and Paez.
Chirivella's gets his first start for the U-21s. He turns 17 in May. Rossiter rested after playing in the FA Youth Cup game.

The streams are effing unwatchable. Off to bed instead.
Pretty decent for me
What's he like?
This will interest a few of the more avid youth watchers on here. Armin Hodzic, our on-loan striker in the Bosnian league - compilation of his goals from the current season. He's not someone it's easy to find details on, but looks reasonably promising here. Was 19 back in November.
SUFC Coady deal sorted with Liverpool
Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough says the club have agreed a deal with Liverpool to keep midfielder Conor Coady on loan for the remainder of the season.
Coady, who is currently at Bramall Lane on a youth loan, is due to return to Anfield next week on the eve of his 21st birthday but Clough says he will sign a new loan deal and he is an important part of the side.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Clough said, "It is all agreed with Liverpool and it will hopefully be signed today until the end of the season and I am looking forward to having Coady around for another ten weeks.
"He has been with us on a youth loan but the fact he turns 21 next week, it will be transferred into a proper loan. He is staying with us now and he is playing an important role."
Coady scored the winner in the 1-0 win at Gillingham in midweek making it back-to-back goals, having scored the equaliser in the 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
He has been a regular in the blades side having initially joined in the summer until the first week in January.
Clough extended the loan at the turn of the year and he has improved significantly in the past few months and become an integral part of the blades midfield.

this player looks class there really, I think id Dzeko can come out to be so good, we can have some hoped here, he seems really clever from that video, specially at fooling defenders with small and quick tricks...the one where he was coming IN from right hand side, where he made the defender think he will cross but instead he cut inside and made a simple pass
any report on U21 game today, any standout performers, anything
should we send him to BL on loan next season, we will get good money for him, if he doesnt make it for us
but sometimes i think we have got so many players on loan here and there...wondering how many will be able to make it here and how many will be Morgans, how many Shelvey and how many Sterlings
Out of those on loan, Suso, Wisdom, Ilori, McLaughlin, and Ibe all have good chances of making it with us. As in, more likely than not.
Coady is a long shot, and Robinson is a good player but perhaps not Rodgers' kind of full back. Adorjan next to no chance IMO.
Hodzic is an interesting one. For a start, it's impossible to gauge his progress playing in the Bosnian league - that must be a pretty pathetic standard.
I like Adorjan; I actually think his game is quite similar to Luis Alberto's. At least like Suso, he's playing at a higher level while on loan. He's started 5 of their last 7 league games, contributing a goal and an assist in the process. Like you, I don't think he'll be brought back, as I think we're probably looking for someone quicker and more mobile in that position, and with a higher workrate. It's not that he's lazy, he just looks like he's lackadaisical. I think whatever you've said about Robinson applies to Adorjan - good player, but probably not Rodgers' kind of player in the current system.
Which brings me to question where Luis Alberto will fit in Rodgers' plans. I like his classy touches, but unlike Coutinho, he hasn't shown so far an aptitude for pressing and closing down hard when he's been given spotty minutes.
Add Coady to that list he isn't mobile enough and he is far too slow. He has no chance of making it here.
If Coady isn't playing in the upper ranks of the midfield, he isn't required to push and press like Henderson, Coutinho and Allen do, assuming we persist with the system we're using now. I don't think he's that much slower or less mobile than, say, Lucas or the present day Gerrard, which would suggest his future (if he has any here) could be where they play now - at the base of the triangle.
Whether he possesses the other attributes for that role (strength, tackling skills, quickness in decision making, reading the game, etc.) is another thing. Would be interesting to see if Rodgers thinks he's improved after his loan. He's got strong competition in Rossiter though.
How often have you seen him play? He's very, very mobile; he's playing in front of the back 4 for Sheffield United and yet has twice got forward in the last 2 weeks to score goals. He covers a huge amount of ground in every game and reads the game very well. It's going to be difficult for him to break into the LFC 1st team squad but to say he has "no chance" is wrong.
He's had to adapt to League One standard because initially he was making clever runs and taking up good positions but his fellow midfielders weren't good enough to take advantage of this. Now that he's playing a deeper role he is able to get involved and demand the ball rather than wait and hope for a pass.
I believe N'Goo had a stinker at the weekend for Walsall, Having seen him a few times now I can't see him making the grade anywhere above League 1/League 2 level.
