🧵 THREAD: New names. Liverpool academy 2025/26: A small list of players who have yet to forge name amongst first-team or fan base that have potential to have interesting seasons relative to their own level and expectations. A new scholarship group has been introduced. As

Rio Ngumoha with an impressive assist for England U19 on the left-hand-side of the box, dancing between challenges, twisting and turning to keep people at arms length before finding enough space to cross.

Watching the market move without you SUCKS. But you don’t have to sit on the sidelines anymore. With the right approach (and the right tools) you can move quicker and catch trades before they slip away. We found a way to make it happen. You can do it too →

Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha both start for England U19 in their EURO Qualifier against Lithuania.

Both Kaide Gordon finishes tonight were top, right into the corner and gave the keeper no real time to set. Played centrally of late and well, at that. Will surely now be interest for January.

Alvin Ayman played his first match in midfield of the season this past weekend - although was subsequently moved backwards due to defensive issues - and scored this this. Should be up with 21s, for me. A ceiling that correlates to this promotion while making more U18 space.

Trent Kone-Doherty, Keyrol Figueroa, Aymara Nallo, Kornel Misciur also

Luca Stephenson scored his third goal of the season (three in ten) to earn a point for Dundee United today. He has started every single match since joining Dundee United on loan.

Actually not perhaps an inditement against Slot but the overall management. Argument he would and shouldn’t play against Real Madrid, okay, I agree! But let him play the Youth League game then. Same for Man City in reference to U21s. Who played Friday.

Keyrol Figueroa has been called up to the forthcoming USA U20 camp. LFC striker has enjoyed a good month of form.

Probably not the highest general concern of most fans by any means but Liverpool U18, U19 and U21 and the Liverpool first-team (twice) all played this week - all of which Rio Ngumoha is eligible for. 0 minutes.

Player turned pundits are really insecure about Virgil Van Dijk. We’ve been poor but not sure what an earth Van Dijk is supposed to do there, after an already deflected shot hits him. Gary Neville is ridiculous at times.

Shadrach Ekiugbo made his debut for Liverpool U18s today. The U16 group have a strong core of players that are recognisable already. Ekiugbo (CB) Abe (RW) Farkas (CM) Konde (FWD) have played U18s. Balmer (LB) has been called up by England U17 Vincent Joseph should play soon.

Liverpool U16 won 5-4 against Nottinham Forest today. Vincent Joseph scored twice.

Full-time: Liverpool U18 3-6 Nottingham Forest Despite fight back, Forest eventually race away with goals for Ayman, Abe and Sonni-Lambie for The Reds.

Liverpool have clawed one back to reduce the defect to 6-3. Josh Abe sets up Josh Sonni-Lambie.

Forest lead 6-2.

Forest have scored 3 goals in 8 minutes to race into a 5-2 second half lead against Liverpool U18.

4-2. Liverpool leaking goals at the moment.

Josh Abe has agains scored for Liverpool U18 today… Alvin Ayman back in midfield, also. Trail 3-2 to Forest.

Liverpool U18 vs Forest XI: Hall; O’Connor, Powney-Wain, Cisse, Owen; Murray-Holme, Ayman, Yeguo; Abe, Forrester, Inglethorpe Subs: Bernard, Ekiugbo, Hickman, Farkas, Sonni-Lambie

England youth international and Liverpool U16 centre-back Shadrach Ekiugbo is in the Liverpool U18 squad for the first-time today.
