We go on about the lack of quality in certain positions, but this reserve team that Liverpool have out are playing with intensity and urgency – they would give our first team a game

I agree, but they haven't been playing together for 4 or so years already with little change to the team, nearly achieving great things but repeatedly falling short. Not trying to make an excuse for us at all because we're still ridiculously underperforming, I just feel like that's one of the main problems with us.

They have neighbours who are mental shattered against them. Villa smashed this side off the park. It’s very unlikely anymore than one or two of this young side will go on to become regulars for the first team

In reply to what do we have? Utterly inept scouts is the answer. Honestly, our scouts are stealing a living

If you play 11 kids yeah theyre going to get shattered... but introducing a few one at a time works... they get to play with better players etc.

I agree re our scouts but also ist a manager thing. Lets be honest Jose isnt going to build a legacy or build something for the future.. he may win us a cup after spending a tonne of cash. Klopp on the other hand im sure is building something for now and future.

Great goal but I will also question Pickford

He lacks the height and athleticism to be a top goalkeeper

A top keeper should get a hand to that at least now saying keeping it out but should still be something on it!

Everyone there is on a massive high and the belief is there running through the club.

We’re a fucking mess in comparison and have been barely looking past our nose when it comes to the football side of things for sometime now. Maybe we should steal City’s notes on potential youth prospects and start paying good money for potential. That’s how Liverpool have done it.

Still, as I say, I’d be amazed if anymore than one or two of this crop make it at Liverpool. It’s a tough game to make it in. Mind you, that’s a great return to be fair. One player from each crop of youth is great going, let alone anymore.

I'm so jealous of Liverpool at the moment. Playing brilliant, attacking football with an incredible first team and lots of young talent waiting in the wings. Sickening how our paths have diverted in such wildly opposite directions.

They were incredibly smart in who they appointed as manager basically.

Poch was great for us, but Klopp is different level to him. The strange looking weirdo.

The more I wtach Liverscum the more envious I get. I mean they have a first team, a squad and youth... like what the fuck do we have?

We had all of that a few seasons ago, apparently!!

Everton should be ashamed of that! Embarassing. They’ll never hear the end of that

After watching a shambolic Spurs and now Liverpool youth/reserves out class Everton's 1st team, I'm really at a loss as to what Spurs are going to do going forward, I see no hope whatsoever for us in the near(or distant) future!!!
