From what i remember LFC finished 3rd in the competition last year( Ajax 1st, Inter 2nd).
The new season is due to start this month(no date yet for 1st LFC game).

never seen the boy fernandez play but his name would suggest his pretty decent. if there was every a good name for a footballer that is it
on a serious note am looking for would to it.

Fernandez. J, that's Suso... right?

Looking forward to the new NextGen season, there's some surprisingly good football on offer.

never seen him either.
good things being said on the young bosnian Armin Hodzic(17 year old striker) we have there.

stupid me, been working my brains who Fernandez is...
you really saved some of my brain cells(if any left in there), thanks.

looking forward to watching sterling, suso, teixeira, McLaughlin and sama. all looking very good for the future. or maybe sterling will be too busy with the first-team?

Sterling is still playing next Gen?...what he learns 5 mins in a first team game is one game in the next Gen.

he is better off sitting on the bench and trying to stretch defense when they are tiring. he is going to be quite an impact player for us with his speed on the wings...especially when he cuts in...

but i suppose he needs some game time here and there...

Sorry, but unless you're an expert on youth development in football then I can't see how you can possibly know that. It's youth team football that has got Sterling to the point he's at now, it has hardly damaged his development so far has it? And when you consider that he's only 18, he still had a lot of development ahead of him. If you've seen any of the NextGen games, you'll know it's a cut above the regular reserve team league games the lads play and I believe this level of competition is something that has been missing from youth development in football for a long time.

I'm sure Sterling will play a mix on first team/reserve team football this season and it'll all benefit his development.

His 17 but your right about the rest

this competition could also help us to notice quality young players that we can bring to the club, just like it happened with the kid from Sporting.
