RAHEEM Sterling scored a wonder-goal during the reserves 1-1 draw against an experienced Arsenal reserve side at the Academy earlier in the week.
Sterling produced a fine opening-goal for the Reds, before Abou Diaby later equalized for the Gunners.
As reported in the Liverpool Echo yesterday, the game prompted delight from Coach Rodolfo Borrell who stated he was happy with his youngsters response after losing the previous fixture to Ajax in NextGen Series semi-final 6-0, last week:
“I think we can play a lot better but the important thing is we bounced back as a team after the heavy defeat to Ajax. I wanted a response in terms of team effort and I got that. The aim was to raise the spirits and we did that against a very difficult side,” said the former Barcelona coach, before adding:
“Raheem scored a good goal for us and I think it was a fair result. We did well to be focused all the time against a team unbeaten in their last five games.”

Looks like another great talent going.
Why do always get the next big thing then stifle their progress, no wonder we never really see their potential come to fruition.Right here we have a player who has had a million rave reviews only to be never given a chance to fulfill his potential, that is why we lose so many ” next big thing” players as they simply cannot wait forever to be given a chance. For god’s sake play him in the first team, he will be like a breathe of fresh air for suarez to play with.
Why does it take a wake up call from the spuds to wake up kd just read that they want to sign him and his mom want him back in london wuld hate to c him leave bt u cant blame him kd dnt even want to give him a chance the same goes fr coady and suso wtf goin on all the talent and creativity is already at our club instead we have to watch week in and out hw the big name players wth there avarage performances are leting us dwn we deserve beter so does our reserve team players they need to get a luk in and all that cash kd spent was to drag us back wrds wen we already have players to culdv filld that void luk at arsenal barca bilboa why u think there kids are playing wth confidence its because the coaches trust in them unlike lfc where we lose qaulity youngsters every season due to lack of 1st team chances wow
Now that CL is truly done and dusted and UEFA is locked KD might be well served to let some of the younger players get some time. Might also do some good for some of the underperforming first teamers to drop back and spend some time with the reserves.
