KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Are the kids ready.?

OK a few different topics on here at present with the same comments being put forward, basically should we play the kids instead of what we have in the team at present.?
I think that Pacheco (not been picked by 3 managers), Suso, Sterling, Jonjo, Coady are quite some distance of being first team players at the moment. They are looking decent at the level they play at currently but they are propsects and not ready for now.

That is what they thought of the 17 year old Owen and SG but they coped. With the right senior players these players are ready. Wont know until you throw them in. Coady will swim as will Danni and Jonjo but a year early for Suso and Sterling. Bruna could do with going out on loan as can Ince and Morgan. Few others need another year but you only ant to blood them gradually so 3 would be right to be brought on at the end of winning game etc. Another one who is playing well is Jack Robinson at lb

if your good enuf your old enuf if your no good you should be shipped out

This is true and the current crop majority of them are good enough but Suso and Raheem are still 16/17 so should be brought on slower than the others but should be brought on now rather than wait 3 years.

id rather fast track a youngster and have them fail then wait and wait until they are 22 and have no experience like spearing or derby specially when we have sh!t playing every week

i would definitely like to see players like suso, sterling and coady getting a chance now that we basically got nothing to play for (i know some might think we can still reach 5th but tbh i don't care if we're in the europe league or not next season)

i don't count on them coming in and taking over the show but it would be very good for their future development to get that experience. if we wait a couple of years then the story will repeat itself and they'll end up like spearing, eccleston and others.

The younger players are not the answer to our current problem, we need to sign some top class players who can compete with the best in the new season. The young players should then be eased into the team as and when they are ready. We must not go into the next season with the current squad, thinking that we can support them with 'promising prospects'. We need fire sale and competent replacements.

we do need to get rid of the dead wood and have a good mix of seasoned players with the odd youngster blooded at every oppertunity thats why we needed to bring the young players in to train at melwood with the senior players, get them used to the bigger stage. the exceptional players will then shine through faster.

first of all we need to improve the first eleven but there is so much crap at our disposal at the minute. we need a serious clear out. then for instance, allow the likes of coady a chance playing as backup instead of poulsen. why pay a crap player u payed £5m for £50k a week to sit on the bench and only feature in a handful of games? poulsen is garbage but if coady was to have a bad game we'd cut him some slack cos he is young. give him a couple of years and if he hasn't improved sell him on for a few million and allow the next generation to step in. i hope once we have our first team we start investing in quality youngsters.

some good players coming through but maybe a couple of years away.
