On the back of another excellent performance by our U-21's who beat Man City 3-1 yesterday, I feel very encouraged that Dani Pacheco seems to be showing the sort of determination that's required to get a regular first team spot.
Suso, Wisdom and Sterling have done brilliantly of late, but I don't see how they have been much better than Dani from what I've seen.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Liverpool team from yesterdays game, Ward, McLaughlin, Robinson, Sama, Wilson, Coady, Morgan, Roddan, Ngoo, Adorjan, Pacheco. Subs unused: Sokolik, Stephens, Pelosi, Smith, Ibe.
----------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see Yesil is absent so he must be in with a great chance of featuring today. Gulasci is also absent so that might be a give away on Pepe's availability. Morgan bagged the other two goals for the U-21's.
Brendan is certainly building for the future, we just need a bit more of the winning mentality this afternoon, we have to win this game and there can be no excuses if we don't. Some of the old Liverpool players would have run over their grannies to pinch a goal and I'm not sure yet if some of this new crop have enough guts, only time will tell.
Come on you Reds!
Did Dani mean that?

Fred, I think we might see the youth players used from the bench today bar perhaps Wisdom if he's fit.

GB, Coady is struggling by all accounts from what I've heard but I'ts great to see the lads at the top of the tree. We have talent in abundance at the moment.

I think Brendan will keep the same team if he can (bar injuries).
We badly need to win this game, we have the bitters up after this. The performance really is secondary to the result in this one - we need the 3 points badly.

Couldn't care less if we play like stoke as long as we win lol.

I have added some more highlights from Dani's performance yesterday. Courtesy of Milan Kaka Baros on Twitter, he is worth following on Twitter.

I watched the first half yesterday and Pacheco was very good.
He seems to have his mojo back, putting the work in to accompany his obvious talent.
Whether he has enough to convince BR to keep him I don't know but he is doing his career no harm.
I don't think he meant the goal though, he has a look but I think it was a cross into the right area.
The u21's are playing with a lot of verve and confidence at the moment and you have to credit BR for that. He has lifted he whole set up by giving players chances.
They all have an extra 10% in them because they feel they actually have a chance to play.
It must have been tough last season seeing so many first team players struggle and never getting a look in (though I accept they were all a bit younger).

The u 21`s very impressive record so far
They have played 14 games , 6 friendlies
all won .7 league 5 won 2 draw .
they lost 3-2 away at Inter 3-2 in New Gen.
Some great young talent but Adorjan looks
a really clever player.

Funny really, we are smashing the u21 league and 4 of our best u21's dont even play for them

I reckon Pacheco is on his way out, he's got bags of skill, but he's lazy. He's not got the same drive that Sterling,Shelvey,. Wisdom and Suso have.
