12th Dec – Liverpool 1 – 1 Blackburn Rovers (FA Premier Academy League) – Ince played well once again against Blackburn, and in a turgid first half, he fired wide of the goal after a great ball by Hungarian forward Krisztian Adorjan. After the break, great wing play on the left hand side of midfield by Ince, ended in a superb cross for striker Michael Ngoo who somehow headed over the bar from a short distance. Blackburn took a shock lead on 70 minutes but sub James Ellison salvaged a point for the Merseysiders.
30th Nov – Liverpool 2 – 0 Wolves (FA Youth Cup) – A great display by Tom Ince helped Liverpool through to the next round of the FA Youth Cup. The young winger could have given the Red an early three minute lead but he dragged his shot wide of the past after arriving late in the box. He again could have broken the deadlock on 22 minutes after great play from Christopher Buchtmann put Ince away clear on goal, but he was hesitant on his short and fired wide. He did not put his head down however and scored on 35 minutes. A great pin point ball by centre back Andre Wisdom saw Ince one-on-one with the keeper once again, but this time he did not hesitate, and slotted the ball calmly into the net. Krisztian Adorjan scored early on in the second half to make the score 2-0 but the performances of centre back Wisdom and winger Ince stood out. Ince proved a real handful for Wolves’s right-back Jack Metcalf, and the defender showed his frustration by picking up a yellow card for a challenge on Ince in the second half. His father Paul, assistant manager Sammy Lee and Kenny Dalglish were all watching in the crowd and all could not fail to be impressed by this performance.

In the second half, Ince nearly got Liverpool back level after nearly reaching John Flanagan’s ball at the far post. Seconds later though, Nick Ajose made it 2-0 and Liverpool were regretting their missed chances, eventually losing 3-1 after a second goal by Will Keane and a consolation for the Merseysiders by Adam Pepper.
