Is there a youth player you were convinced was going to make it at Liverpool and didn’t?

Going way back but saw Ian Armstrong in a few reserve games and  expected him to progress out of that group.

Partidge, lee Jones, John Welsh were all on my watch list. As well as Ibe more recently. 

 

It just shows how difficult it is to break through and stay there. I think at least 50% of it is mentality in addition to exceptional talent. 

Its probably why I never made it. Either becuase of my weak mind or my lack of exceptional talent. One or the other.

Les Gems, dear god so much promise but ultimately so underwhelming apart from one e or two highlight moments.

Was probably more hype than promise with those two

Don’t think GH’s love of Heskey helped them and they didn’t get the games due to the pressure GH was under to win games too.

He’s done OK but I thought he had the potential to be a properly top level player

Read recently that Bobby Clark is having a good season at Red Bull Salzburg. Clark is a first team regular and one of his midfield colleagues praised his work ethic and technical ability. I recall Newcastle being upset when he left them to join us. Sorry he didn't cut it at Anfield but pleased to know he's doing well.

David Thompson did have a season or so in and around the first team squad. I thought it a mistake to sell at the time. He had a certain fight in him we were lacking elsewhere and was more talented than he is remembered I think.

Recall that Ged lost patience with his attitude.

Richie Partridge was absolutely wicked in Championship Manager. But then so was Haukur Ingi Gudnason

Gudnason may yet get his chance under Slot.
