Youth / Reserve Team Thread... 2010 - 2013

[Vlads Quiff]

Now from what I have seen this lad could defiantely make it.
He has also made at least three important assists as well

Liverpool starlet Raheem Sterling showed his potential with a clinical brace for the U18s against Leeds.

One of the hottest properties in English football, Sterling was coveted by a string of Premier League sides back in January before deciding to join the famed Liverpool academy from QPR.

At the time the Liverpool managing director, Christian Purslow, said: "Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I'm delighted he's joining us."

Arsenal were thought to be close to agreeing a deal for the player, but the winger decided to join the Reds as the Merseyside club pipped their Premier League rivals to the signature.

Roy Hodgson was clearly impressed, including the 16-year-old in Liverpool's senior pre-season tour. The youngster has continued to shine at youth level ever since.

Two second half strikes were more than enough to see off the Whites, with a 50th minute opener being consolidated with just three minutes left on the clock.

"It was a very tough game but we deserved to win because we produced a good team performance," Rodolfo Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv.

The Liverpool U18 side remain unbeaten thus far in the 2010/11 season, and show great signs of promise for the future at Anfield.

Sterling as seen as the jewel in the crown, and the England youth international could work his way up the Liverpool ranks quicker than first imagined.

The emergence of a good batch of players from the reserves and youth players has been the most positive thing at LFC for the past 18 months.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

I'm delighted we kept hold of Rodolfo too. He'll do a great job.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

the pity is it's doubtful we'll see any of them against northampton.

 

[doctor_mac]

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

I bet we have at least 2 starters from the Reserves with another one or two featuring from the bench.

He needs to bulk up and/or grow up (physically) a lot if he wants to make it.

Owen was pretty small when "making it".

He has plenty of time to hit a growth spurt. I wonder what size his mum is. It is a fact that (barring some sort of disorder) all men will be taller than their mothers.

 

[Hansern]

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

He's 15 aswell, so it's perfectly understandble that he has a bit of growing left to do.

Not everyone can look like Rooney when they're that age.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

I don't care if he's 12 or 15, we need him in the 1st team now ! Stick some padding on him and get him in there.

I remember the same being said of Phil Thompson when he made his debut, and he never did 😉

SWP has done OK too.
He will, as has been said, he is 15 and the next four years will make a massive difference. If you have skill like this lad seems to you don't always need to be big.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

Why would anyone know how tall Raheem sterlings mother is?

It's not even on wikipedia.

Radio Raheem will grow into a strapping young man give him time.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

Length has nothing to do with strength.

He'll do fine with a personal training program.

Someone could be a friend of the family. I'm one of Raheem's Facebook friends. perhaps I should ask him.

i think you should. Then, if he is still your friend after the question then he's a nice fella. If he actually answers he's a true legend

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

There is nothing really objectionable about refugee's post. Raheem is a small kid and he'll need to bulk up as he grows.

I am. But the story is that someone on here posted that Raheem was accepting random friend requests. So I tested this with a friend request.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

Isn't it a nice change to watch someone in a Liverpool shirt who has pace, skill and doesn't plod around the pitch. This kid looks a bit special.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Re: Raheeeeeeeeem

So we should see him in what the 2012/13 season?

He looks fantastic.

Finally a real eye catching prospect.

That's Ngoo, a pretty good prospect in his own right. He muscled Sol Campbell off the ball once or twice in the reserves match against Newcastle so yeah, bit of a beast.
