Good football from several U21 players before Figueroa finishes.

Robbie Fowler present as his academy set-up fell to a 6-1 defeat against Liverpool U18. Onanuga, Bradshaw, Pitt, Sonni-Lambi x2 and Ahmed the scorers. Ethan Smallee scored for Fowler’s academy.

Like Chambers started in England U20’s 1-1 draw with Türkiye while Kaide Gordon came from the bench.

Liverpool launch their official academy in Dubai this evening after doing the same in Saudi Arabia and Thailand in the last 6 months.

Liverpool have bolstered their first-team/academy set-up by adding Diogo Paiva from FC Porto who will act under the role of technical skills coach. Paiva actually worked alongside Vitor Matos at Shandong Luneng in China and FC Porto.

A Liverpool U16 side that featured a decent amount of U15 players were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal today. Lamore Forrester who has started to creep into LFC U18 squads played.

Lamore Forrester scored for Liverpool.

LFC U21 player Kyle Kelly (18) played 63 minutes in his third cap for ST Kitts and Nevis who romped to a 4-1 win over Cayman Island. Brilliant to see academy representation all over the globe, especially at senior level. Kelly was busy, taking 4 shots and completing 3 dribbles.

Lewis Koumas starts for Wales. This isn’t just a friendly or anything like that. This is an important match and Koumas has minutes because he can contribute at this level. His rise through the ranks has been brilliant.
