Another game?!?

 

looking at the team have we just given up on playing strikers?

 

Isn't it just that Calliste has been turd?

I get the feeling that if we had a good young striker,this team would be something special.

[windy city red]

what happened to Besian Idrizaj? is he injured or just not been playing?

[Guest AdamS]

Heard he's been pretty disappointing and rumours are that he will be returning to Austria soon. Anyone heard anything??

He has been disappointing, but was starting to show a touch of form when he got injured. Apparently the pace and aggression in the game has suprised him a lot. I've not heard anything about him going home but I wouldn't be suprised. There is going to be quite high turn over of the kids I reckon.

 

I'd imagine Anderson will play up front tonight, but Foy is also an option.

Heard about adam hamill from his best mate today sayin he's well up for the youth cup final but all the man city players are grocks apparently.

got beat 2-1

report from .tv:

A superb goal from Adam Hammill was the highlight of Liverpool Reserves 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at Durham FC's Archibald Stadium on Thursday night.

Sunderland's winning goal came from the penalty spot nine minutes from time after Reds keeper David Martin had fouled Sunderland substitute David Dowson. Sean Taylor clinically put away the resulting spot kick to give the home side the three points.

 

Sunderland had taken a first half lead before Hammill's fine equaliser after 37 minutes. Paul Anderson's smart header sent Robbie Foy racing away down the right wing. The Scotland under-21 international then showed a great awareness to pick out Hammill, who cut inside the penalty area before producing a cool and composed finish to make it 1-1.

 

Hammill had a good match for Liverpool and caused Sunderland a lot of problems, especially in the first half.

 

Liverpool Reserve team manager Paco Herrera and coach Hughie McAuley made two changes to the team that defeated Birmingham 1-0 on Monday, with James Smith coming in for Godwin Antwi and Hammill replacing Ramon Calliste.

 

Trialist, 17-year-old striker Lee Tomlin saw action in the second half when he replaced Foy after 66 minutes.

 

The Reds started the game very brightly and created some good openings with Danny Guthrie and Lee Peltier prominent in midfield.

 

After three minutes a superb pass from Hammill found Anderson in space down the right wing. After cutting inside the left back Billy Dennehy he forced Trevor Carson into a good save.

 

Then Reds captain Jack Hobbs missed a great chance after nine minutes. Guthrie's superb pass found Anderson whose low cross was met by Hobbs, but he could only shoot wide from a great position.

 

Guthrie forced Carson into a decent save after 17 minutes before Sunderland took the lead a minute later against the run of play. A swift and decisive move sent Craig McFarlane away on the right wing, and his low cross was met by a powerful header from Daryl Murphy that gave Reds keeper Martin absolutely no chance.

 

Liverpool came close to an equaliser after 25 minutes when Hobbs hit the post, following up after Carson had fumbled Guthrie's free-kick. However, the Reds were level after 37 minutes with an excellent goal from Hammill.

 

The Reds couldn't really make much of an impact in the second half and didn't create as many clear cut chances as they had in the first half. The closest the Reds came to a goal was a shot from Anderson straight at Carson after good work from Tomlin.

 

A draw would have been probably a fair result but Sunderland got their winner from the penalty spot nine minutes from time.

 

Sunderland Reserves: Carson, Taylor, Dennehy, Christensen, Hartley, Allan, McFarlane, Woods, Murphy, Smith, Davison.

 

Liverpool Reserves: Martin, Barragan, Smith, Roque, O'Donnell, Hobbs, Anderson, Peltier (Antwi 82), Foy (Tomlin 66), Guthrie (Calliste 75), Hammill. Subs not used: Lancaster (GK), Woods.

 

Referee: D Foster.

 

Liverpoolfc.tv Man of the match: Adam Hammill. Took his goal very well and was always a threat.
