Ibe and Dunn have had very good games, Lloyd Jones has been fantastic in defence and is coming though well this half of the season. Lussey is capable of amazing balls from midfield.

Great post, amazing especially when you consider that the likes of Irwin, Buchtmann and Anderson were all rated very highly
The Under 21's are in action tonight as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers. The game is live on LFCTV with build-up beginning at 6.45PM and the game scheduled to kick-off at 7PM.
Liverpool team to face Wolverhampton Wanderers. Gulacsi; McLaughlin, Sama, Jones, Roddan; Teixeira, Coady, Nacho, Teixeira; Dunn, Morgan, Ibe. SUBS: Fulton, Maguire, Baio, Peterson & Bijev.
Wolverhampton Wanderers team to face Liverpool. Flatt; Whittall, Tank, Ihiekwe, Cranston; Ismail, Price, Jakobsson, Parry; Winnall, McAlinden. SUBS: Dutton, Kellermann, Iorfa, Moli & Keita.
And it's taken less than two minutes for Wolves to score! Poor defending as Robbie Parry is given far too much room on the left-hand side and he is able to slot the ball through a Liverpool defender and past Peter Gulacsi in the Liverpool goal. 1-0 to Wolves.
Looking shaky. McAlinden almost gets through as Jones & Gulacsi don't communicate enough... Ball eventually cleared by Jones. - Need to get the ball for a period of time and settle down.
First chance for Liverpool and it falls to Jack Dunn. Nacho plays a through ball into Dunn but the ball is slightly too heavy and the Wolves 'keeper is brave to get in ahead of Dunn and collect the ball. Nice move though.
Half-Time: Wolverhampton Wanderers Under 21's 1-1 Liverpool Under 21's. - An early goal from Robbie Parry was cancelled out by a penalty by Conor Coady to make the scores 1-1 at half-time.
Jack Dunn has scored to make it 2-1 to Liverpool. Haven't been able to watch the second half so I cannot comment on the goal itself but a big goal. It's also Dunn's first start for the U21's so that's another positive!
