So Puigmal continues as a right back, seems a bit strange but I trust the staff here. It’s fun to see a swede in this talented team as well!

Interesting to see Puigmal at right back, didn't do Steven Gerrard (or Keane I think?) any harm getting experience in that position as young players. He'll certainly have to impose himself more playing there.

Well he's simply not gonna play ahead of anyone in that midfield 3 so better to play RB than stay on the bench isn't it

Keane was a bit special because he played at least half of the 92/93 season as a central defender, so he knew a bit about the defensive role when he played right back for us.

None of those 3 have done anything special so far...in fact Garner is getting beaten for fun...

A bit passive from us - expect more from Garner after his last season. We need a bit of Greenwood-magic in the second half

It's a joke some of the tackles that are let go at youth level. It's just downright dangerous at times.
That little shit from Everton that put Chong out for a year even went in for a second helping about 5 minutes later.

I don't get why shit like that is so consistently allowed, especially at youth level where one serious injury is enough to completely derail someone's career.

Exactly or even the Villa lad last night who looked like he even dislocated his shoulder putting in a ridiculously late and high challenge on RoShaun.

I don't see the logic in it. I understand not wanting to send kids off. But being lenient and keeping your cards in your pocket isn't the same as just allowing late high two footed challenges. It's dangerous and the kids are getting terrible injuries because of it. It's a big issue imo.

Love watching the 18's last year, and this season won't be any different.....why can't the first team play with the same freedom...

Worth noticing that Liverpool got a player sent off in the last 3 matches against United at U18 level. They look well on the way to make that 4 in a row.

Excellent pass from Garner, easy goal for Greenwood in the end.

Brandon Williams sent off - no complaints about that one

Think Williams has been saving that all game.
