There are plenty of reasons to be excited about last night. The future of Liverpool Football Club looks very bright if the performances from the likes of Harvey Elliott, Sepp van den Berg and Curtis Jones are anything to go by. More than that, though, it was great to see the manner in which there is clearly joined-up thinking right the way through the club. J\u00fcrgen Klopp asks his players to play in a very specific way whilst also giving them the freedom to be themselves. That Neil Critchley has clearly instilled the same sort of attitude in his under-23 side should be admired and applauded. It means that if any of the lads need to step up and cover their first team equivalents then they’ll almost certainly be able to do so without much fuss and worry. Adam Lewis at left-back and Neco Williams on the opposite flank both look more than capable understudies to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson, for example.<\/p>\n
