No idea, and if that's an attempt at fishing, you need to change your bait significantly

The 'anything more' would have been passion and staying in touch with the local fanbase. None of which improves a players ability but it's that almost intangible that keeps the club connected to the city.
My daughter tells me he's a nasty little twat![]()

Shouldnt judge a book by its cover obviously but I thought he looked like a naughty lad
I agree but the more the merrierBut we had Gerrard (and Carragher) offering those things during Nolan's better years.
I was only putting forward scousers who are still playing [because you posed the question] not that I would necessarily have had them over other players. Had we not just had Lambert, I'd have added him in as well.[HASHTAG]#judgementalist[/HASHTAG]
You bit massively when I first said that (when I didn't know you were a only child)![]()

That's probably because it's a misconception that's been propagated over eons. My mother nearly died having me, so she wasn't going through that again.


Being an armchair fan I dont know what the set up is at LFC or EFC with regards to local talent at a very young age. Do they put as much effort into scouting or partnering with local school and youth leagues or integrate their academies with the same? If so then you can only point to a couple of things that are going wrong..either the youth coaches aren't good enough, the talent is a bit dry at the moment or there is a problem with young lads not playing as much football as before. Have the local leagues seen a drop in participation, if not that rules out the last one.
Of course costs, lack of facilities in local areas can directly effect it too. But should that not be where the clubs step in and make up the difference of what is lost in terms of local authority funding?
If they actually still want that local connection of course...

I recall you saying, my mrs nearly died with our first two too
Doesn't alter how single children are spoilt though, parent(s) can afford more because there is only one of you![]()

The problem you have is that once the flow of local youngsters hitting the first team stops, then lads having the option of joining either academy at the outset of their training, are likely to pick the one that they perceive will give them the best opportunity to progress. So it could become self perpetuating.
whether warranted or not, we've got a reputation for playing youngsters, just not that many of them are scouse.
Depends how much said parents have in the first place. Sorry about your Mrs (nm), but medical technology is a tad more advanced now that it was in nineteen fifty ****ing eight![]()
We've also discussed this (in detail) before 
Have you?
You've got a reputation for buying expensive younger players, but I wouldn't say that you're seen as a club that 'grows their own' at all tbh.
(check what I said)
Shame human professionalism and decency as decline so much (both instances with my mrs were cause by the doctor)
Cheers for you sympathies although not needed, she survived to have more of the little ****ersWe've also discussed this (in detail) before
Anyway, back to the topic...
I thought this was about me
