𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐙.....𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑!🇩🇪 He started the season slowly and many people criticised him too early. I'm not saying he was good in the first couple of months, but it takes time to adapt to a new league. Now you can see he stayed professional, kept confidence in himself and has been the best player in the Premier League in the last month Most goal contributions of any PL player in all competitions since 20 December, with 6 goals and 3 assists in 11 appearances. Flo doesn’t have to adapt to the Premier League — the Premier League needs to adapt to him. 𝐂𝐀𝐍'𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒?🗣️🌟

𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟗-𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍 Floyd Samba scored a hat-trick for Manchester City U18s yesterday as they beat Stoke City 6-1. He also provided an assist. In 14 U18 appearances this season, he has 12 goals and 3 assists, for 15 goal contributions. In 5 U21 appearances this season, he has 3 goals and 2 assists, for 5 goal contributions. These numbers are incredible for a player his age. He is yet to make his first-team debut, but if he continues performing like this, we will definitely see him in the first team in the coming years. And by the way, he’s not a striker—he’s a midfielder! 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐘𝐃 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐀 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞!🌟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’ve talked about him before, but Luca Eden made his first start for Liverpool U18s today. Only 14yo and playing at this level is incredible. Really looking to see more of him in the coming months and years. He’s already scored for Liverpool U18s, and assisted Joshua Abe today. Love how he plays with such a passion, almost reminds me of Steven Gerrard. Not afraid to go for a tackle and good on both sides of the pitch. 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀 𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💫

𝐖𝐎𝐖𝐖....Joshua Abe is special. Scored a brace for Liverpool U18s today, and has averaged a goal contribution every 68 minutes at U18 level this season. 5 goals and 2 assists in 8 games. Incredible talent. Manchester City and Chelsea very keen on the player for the summer. Heard Arsenal too. Would love to see him stay at Liverpool, as he’s been there since U9 level. He’ll reach the very top, and there’s no doubt about it. Trained with the first team yesterday too. Just 15yo, and seen as one of the brightest prospects in England. His future is bright. 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑!🌟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍.....15yo Joshua Abe trained with Liverpool’s first team today. He has 5 goal involvements in 7 games with the U18s this season. Seen as one of the most exciting prospects coming up in England. Liverpool can’t let this baller leave. Strong interest from top European clubs. Chelsea want revenge. You’ll hear more from the 2010-born talent in the coming years. Personally hope he stays at Liverpool, and my opinion is he will stay until he’s at least 18. That’s when he’s allowed to go abroad, but he might just stay at the club for years too, hopefully. One thing’s for sure: Joshua Abe has a bright future. He’ll reach the very top, I’m certain. 𝐉𝐎𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐀 𝐀𝐁𝐄 (𝟏𝟓)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌟

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘...Liverpool have just officially confirmed the signing of 17-year-old Austrian centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe. He is set to join the club’s Under-21 side in the summer when he turns 18 in March, allowing him to move abroad. Born in 2008, he joins Liverpool’s list of the biggest talents in his age group in England. Will Wright, El-Hajdi Mor Talla Ndiaye and Rio Ngumoha are other names at Liverpool in the same age group as Ndukwe. Liverpool have really brought in some incredible young centre-back talents this month. They’re all for the future, and you love to see it! 𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐈 𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐖𝐄! 🇦🇹 🌟

WOW... Kieran Morrison scores a penalty – the last kick of the game. Not just a goal, it was the winning goal as Liverpool U21s beat Leeds. And let’s not forget Keyrol Figueroa. He comes on as a sub, as he so often does, and scores to get Liverpool back into the game. His 11th goal in PL2 this season, making him the top scorer. He’s averaging 1.65 goals per 90 in PL2. Incredible numbers. It’s also great to see Kyle Kelly back on the pitch. He returned from a long-term injury earlier this month and has now made his third appearance this season for Liverpool U21s. He was incredible against Arsenal – a great player. Tommy Pilling was arguably MOTM and fantastic in midfield. He covered so much ground, won the ball back often and always helped defensively. Carter Pinnington is also a strong shout for MOTM with some vital blocks to keep Liverpool in the game. You could mention something positive about every player who started – Liverpool U21s dominated Leeds, but Darryl Ombang, the Leeds goalkeeper, was excellent. Liverpool have some real gems! 💎🔴

𝟏𝟒 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐎𝐋𝐃 Luca Eden scored for Liverpool U18s against Burnley today. The U15 midfielder is highly regarded and made his U18 debut in November. He was on the bench again today, came on, scored, and became the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool U18 history. He reminds me a bit of Steven Gerrard in the way he plays. Very good player with huge potential. 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀 𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐍! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💫

𝐖𝐎𝐖, Joshua Sonni-Lambie. The 18-year-old forward has just scored a first-half hat-trick for Liverpool U18s against Burnley. He’s been brilliant at U18 level for Liverpool this season and made his debut for the U21s. He’s the top scorer for Liverpool at U18 level this season. He needs more chances with the U21s. He’s a big talent and definitely deserves it. In 26 games across all competitions (U18, U21 and UEFA Youth League), he has 18 goals and 6 assists – 24 goal involvements. 𝐉𝐎𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐈-𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐄! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌟

Keyrol Figueroa has been 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 for Liverpool in the PL2 this season. In only 567 minutes he’s the joint top-scorer with 10 goals. 19yo with a very bright future. Yet to make his first team debut but it will come soon. Took the chance when Will Wright and Jayden Danns were injured and has proven his quality. Liverpool have some serious talent on their hand. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓!🇺🇸🌟

Oscar Gloukh is a 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑! He showed it today, and not for the first time this season. He’s not afraid to take on his man, and even though he isn’t among the best in dribbling success percentage, he’s definitely up there in completed dribbles. Just 21yo and playing with a bunch of confidence, so technical and skilled. Love to watch him play. Ajax are serious when it comes to developing talents and taking them to the next level, and he’s just another player on the way. Bought from RB Salzburg in the summer and already at a completely different level. He’s getting a big move soon, that’s for sure. 𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐊𝐇, 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑!🌟😮‍💨

Franco Mastantuono isn’t talked about enough. Scored two goals in his last three games, starting in both of them. Today he helped Real Madrid win 6-1 over Monaco with a goal and a top class performance. He’s proving himself when he’s getting the chance from the start under the new manager. You love to see it! If you take away the last three games, he’s only played 179 minutes since 22 October. In his last three games he’s played 193 minutes. Didn’t have the trust from Xabi Alonso but now he’s getting his chance and he has taken it with both hands. Big talent. Only 18yo with a bright future, Real Madrid have some serious talent. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐎𝐍𝐎!🇦🇷

𝐖𝐎𝐖. Oscar Bobb is leaving Manchester City this month. Dortmund remain interested, and Fulham have sent an official proposal with a £35m bid. He is yet to decide if he’s joining Fulham, but if he does, I think it’s a great move for him. He’ll play regularly and have a chance to become a starter for Norway at the World Cup in the summer. He’d also join fellow Norwegian Sander Berge. It would be a great way to kick-start his career, giving him a real start and the chance to show his potential, which we’ve only seen at times with City. Great talent. I think he’ll get a big move in the coming years and succeed at Fulham. Love watching him play – incredible dribbling ability.

Overall, he had a good performance. He showed that he can do everything. He was all over the pitch and even finished on the left side for the last 20 minutes, both offensively and defensively.

He still has room for improvement. Although he did many of the things you could ask for, he could do certain things better. I think his game can be taken to a new level defensively. He could cover more space in the middle and break more passing lanes.
