Liverpool are preparing to face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and this competition is usually one where the younger players get a chance to shine and it is clear that Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders have their favourites.
Speaking to the media, our assistant coach recalled an interaction with the boss: “Yesterday I walked off the pitch, we trained and the session was crazy. It was really cool and I walked off the pitch with Jurgen and he whispered ‘wow, Stefan. and Bobby, they play so mature, they play like they’re 25!’ And I was like, ‘and Ben Doak!'”

Stefan Bajcetic, Bobby Clark and Ben Doak are all clearly regarded highly by the club’s managers, and James Milner also selected two of them as his favorite youth players to watch out for, so it’s clear they’re favorites for breakout time. game against Manchester City.
We have seen with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott that there is a path to the first team for the younger players and it is now up to them to maintain their high level of performance in training and they will soon be rewarded.
