Player thread v Liverpool under 21's...

[Freez]

Line up, Baz Beels Ryan Paz Willow, Murphs Flemo Wildig, Devitt Eelison Mullers subs Thompson McGowan Kenyon Molyneux Goodall Miller

Liverpool line up with people nobody has ever heard of one or two of whom may go on to become household names for Swindon ( JOKE!!! DUH)) with Adam Phillips at number 8 is from Garstang!

It's a lovely summer Saturday, good crowd, kicked off and already The Pool have missed sitter after we gave the ball away across our own box!!

3 gone!

[Freez]

10 gone Ellison with our first chance, blasts just over wi his right foot after Wildig releases him.. At the other end Baz tips over for a corner.
Apparently there is the youngest ever Welsh international playing for them, Harry Wilson!! And some German and Spanish blokes also!!

[Freez]

Murphy releases Wildig who wins a corner but it's cleared. It's fast and furious abut little quality so far, 17 gone!

[Freez]

20 gone. Garstang Phillips puts a free kick wide. It's actually a poor game, worst of the pre season so far,
Beeley get sin behind and puts it on a plate with peach of a cross for Mullers, who somehow fails to connect.
Up the other end Canos gets in and squares it across for nobody agin to get a touch on. It's livened up!!

[Freez]

27 Mullers turns and unleashes a twenty harder which fizzes past the far post!
Mullin then split the defence and Devitt lifts it over the keeper and the bar from angle on the left.
Better.

[cyprus-shrimp]

Interesting that we have a player newly-signed for Stevenage on the bench!!!!!!

[Freez]

True!! Haha.
Would imagine we will see Miller second period!!
Willo has ahead a 30 harder beaten away, not much else to report!
Free kick after a foul on Beels, neat slipped in by Devitt but the flags up!!
39 gone.

[Freez]

There chances come and go in quick succession, Firth in the Pool goal makes good saves with his feet. Ellison, Muller and Flemo all blocked, then a curling Devitt effort just evades the keeper and the post. HT 0-0.

[Freez]

No subs at HT. As we were!

Beels gets clattered with a late challenge which, had it not been a friendly May well have resulted in a card so some colour!!

On 49 a Flemo knock down is flicked over Firth for the opener by Mullers 1-0.
On 50 a long ball is first to Mullers, he rounds firth who bring him down, he steps up and slots the pen home, 2-0.

On 51 Beels fouls Canos and the pen is given, but Baz dives to his right and saves it!!
It's all happening

[Freez]

Roche saves again at the feet of Wilson, it's a better spectacle now!
57 gone!
Subs two for the Scousers, 12 and 14 on, 4 and 10 off, if anyone cares??

[Freez]

59. GOAL, Gomes with strike from 20 yards that nobody could stop! 2-1!!

[halfwayprawn]

Has anything happened since 59m freez?

[Freez]

Sorry, lost service there for a bit. 73 mins it's 2-2. Sinclair tap in after a scramble!

Five subs on for us has disrupted the flow, pools subs have been positive and both scored. Better game!
Ten left

[halfwayprawn]

Thanks

[Freez]

Low 25 yard effort by Pools welsh international Wilson, beaten away for a corner by Baz on 85.

[Blackpool Shrimp]

How many there watching??

[Freez]

Full time arrives, in front of a decent crowd of 1794, It ends 2-2. Decent second half, but that concludes the phoney war, it all starts for real next saturday at Victoria Ground, Hartlepool.
Live commentary is from 2.50pm on Player if you cannot make the journey, join us then.

How did miller shape up when he came on ? . Don't think he was mentioned in Twitter feed .

[George Dawes]

If I was Mr Bentley I would be asking if Liverpool would like to loan us Jerome Sinclair, be a good move for both parties, it would help his development with the physical side of the game in L2

Wasn't on long enough to make an impact - barely got a touch. He seems to have a good pedigree though, I'd be snapping him up if available to us on sensible wages.

[mrpotatohead]

sinclair has around 4 or5 championship clubs wanting to loan him george,class act!!

[Kendalshrimp]

Slightly worrying considering Chester hammered the same team 4-0 midweek. Hope that's not the side that starts at Hartlepool next week. Ellison has been a great servant for us but surely there's not a starting place for him here anymore and must accept he's only a squad player. He was awful today along with Fleming again ! Shame Miller didn't get longer today if he doesn't sign then a striker is needed for next week as we can't rely on mullin. I agree with George Dawes tho would like to see one or two of their players loaned to us for a few months I liked the look of the left winger Harry Wilson and their left back too !

[halfwayprawn]

Hear the Liverpool dugout had a good conversation with mullers and shook his hand,must have had a good game.

Scored a couple but no1 was good really for us today. Sure he played for their academy back in the day probably knows a few faces still !

[halfwayprawn]

But the main thing is that he got on scoresheet with two goals
