Half time 1-0. We finished very strongly with good pass and move and a few attempts on goal. Ibe looked exciting - the fact he was thumped a couple of times by Huddersfield defenders was testimony to his threat. He runs well with the ball, he beats players and he even hit a great crossfield pass to start another move. Nacho started quietly but eventually settled and scored a really good goal from outside the area. Peterson did pretty well on the left, with enough pace to beat his man several times. I've slated Belford in recent games because he's had some howlers but he looks back to his best in this game (apparently all the keepers go to Melwood once a week to be coached on distribution by Pepe, and Belford is certainly distributing the ball much better these days).
Thats fantastic stuff if true.
Thanx 4 the updates. 8)
Ha, what a finish by morgan
FT 2-1. A good performance all round I thought.
Belford had his best game for quite a while in goal.
The defence looked good, with very solid performances from McLaughlin, Sokolik and Regan. Lussey was busy and inventive in midfield, as usual, although he tended to over-complicate things when the simple pass was on. I really enjoyed watching Ibe - he tired in the second half, but he's big, strong and fast and he'll keep improving. Nacho took time to get going and drifted a bit from his position but scored a really nice goal and played some clever passes. Morgan was direct and aggressive but he needs to improve his touch; his long-range goal was good, and I think it was on its way in anyway before it was deflected. Jordan Sinclair got a good little run out at the end and for a fourteen year old he did well, beating two men to shoot just over in the final five minutes.

Exciting to see Sinclair make an appearance - he's another in the Sterling and Ibe hype range, isn't he? I think he is actually already 15, though, btw.
Intresting Sterling not in there, bench again for him tomorrow.
Sterling doesn't play with the u18s.
Nice to see Andre Wisdom involved in 1st team training too.
