who's the best player in the ressies.

i do like the sound of besian idrisaj, if he fails as a footballer he'd make a great serbian warlord.

Jordy Brouwer sounds like a character from USA High.

 

He looks like on too, judging by his picture on the Offal:

 

[Stevie H]

Charlie Barnett is a proper footballer's name. he and Jack Hobbs are where it's at.

[jimmylibel]

Is Hobbs actually playing centre half then? Nice one.

[Guest PaulMcC]

From what i've seen of the youth team, no one player really stands out as an outstanding prospect to make the first team.

 

They look like a very good, hard working team where everyone is a decent player.

 

The defence is class but a bit on the small side.

[Falconhoof]

Wish Adam Parsnip was playing.

A dramatic impact from substitute Besian Idrizaj saw him score twice to give Liverpool Reserves a deserved 2-0 victory over a strong Wigan Athletic side at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night.

The former Austrian young player of the yeear had only been on the field a matter of minutes when he scored with his first touch. On as a 71st minute substitute for Jordy Brouwer, Idrizaj smashed the ball into the net from close range after Craig Lindfield had flicked the ball on. It was a sweet moment for 'Bez' after he was sent-off for two bookable offences in last week's defeat at Middlesbrough.

 

Idrizaj was then unlucky to hit the post after a great run before he added a second goal 10 minutes from time with a fierce header from a corner. The forward has struggled for consistency at times this season but these two goals will have boosted his confidence.

 

Reds' reserve team manager Gary Ablett fielded the likes of January recruits Emiliano Insua, Ronald Huth, Brouwer and goalkeeper Daniele Padelli. Brouwer partnered youth team striker Lindfield in attack.

 

Wigan fielded an experienced line-up featuring the likes of club captain Arjan De Zeeuw, Paul Scharner, Andreas Johansson, Adreas Granqvist and striker Julius Aghahowa.

 

Ablett's side showed great enthusiasm and determination and there were many plus points to take from the game.

 

The away side started the brighter but despite their superior possession they couldn't break down the Liverpool defence marshalled superbly by the outstanding Jack Hobbs and Ronald Huth. Hobbs was playing his first game of the season in his preferred position of centre half and he made some excellent interceptions.

 

Liverpool, inspired by midfield workhorse and youth team captain Jay Spearing, began to get back into the match and Moroccan Nabil El Zhar was always threatening. He was so unlucky not to open the scoring after 20 minutes when he turned a defender inside out but was denied by a fine save from Russell Saunders.

 

El Zhar also went close after 31 minutes when he fired a fierce shot just wide and Craig Lindfield suffered a similar fate with a great strike six minutes later.

 

Liverpool always looked the more threatening in the second half and Idrizaj turned out to be the super sub on this occasion with his two goals to give Ablett's team the three points.

 

Liverpool Reserves: Padelli, Darby, Insua, Hobbs, Huth, Spearing (Barnett 88), Anderson, Flynn, Lindfield, Brouwer (Idrizaj 71), El Zhar (Burns 82). Subs' unused: Roberts (GK), Parsonage.

 

Wigan Athletic Reserves: Saunders, Moore, King, Haestad, Granqvist, De Zeeuw (Kupisz 70), Cotterill, Scharner, Aghahowa, Johansson, Cywka.

 

Referee: A Haines.

 

Liverpoolfc.tv Man of the Match: Jack Hobbs. The reserve team captain led by example with a commanding performance at centre half.

Wigan had a really experienced squad compared to us. Well done lads!

[Case]

Has Hobbs got a good chance of making it with us? Could he replace Sami as 'first reserve' CB next season?
