Summary

Liverpool played an internal 11-vs-11 friendly match in Kirkby at weekend with Mateusz Musialowski and Kaide Gordon among the youngsters to impress. So Matt Addison joins Guy Clarke to give Reds fans the lowdown on the starlets who featured, including Billy Koumetio, James Balagizi and Tyler Morton, as well as Ben Woodburn, who hit a hat-trick and is now back at the club after his loan spell at Neil Critchley’s Blackpool ended. Also on the show is Polish Liverpool supporter Karolina Kurek, who provides the view on the highly-rated Musialowski from the 17-year-old's homeland. There is then the return of the One To Watch feature, which focuses on a striker who scored a 26-minute hat-trick as the FA Youth Cup returned, and the usual check in on how the U18s and U23s are getting on.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.
