CEO Peter Moore continues to say Liverpool has "a local heartbeat and a global pulse," whatever that means. Jurgen Klopp has however claimed that coming from Liverpool would always give a player the advantage over a similarly-talented player. With a current forward line capable of blowing most opponents away, whoever's sitting on the bench or playing at U-18 or U-23 level is academic, pardon the pun. Liverpool still manage to get youngsters into their first XI but obviously, club fortunes won't rise or fall because of the contribution of Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.Ī lot of supporters don't even care. These were talismanic, game-changing stars. It's easy to say the talents mentioned above would still have thrived had the Reds been in finer fettle at the time but equally, it's almost impossible to disprove. Later in the 1990's, once Liverpool were struggling again, managers like Graeme Souness and Roy Evans began taking chances again with the likes of Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard. There was nothing to lose in taking risks with youth. Young players like Roger Hunt and Ian Callaghan got a good run of games because Liverpool were frankly in a bit of a mess. It's an old story at Anfield, harking back to the days of Bill Shankly and the old Second Division. Was this down to them lacking talent or a paucity of opportunities? It doesn't seem likely now that either player will become stars at Anfield. Loan deals smack of the shop window, not very auspicious when it comes to a player's long-term prospects at a club. It's been a while now since both youngsters were first touted as Liverpool's next big thing and almost two years since Woodburn scored his one and only first-team goal, becoming their youngest ever goalscorer. In news that never will have troubled the headline writers, Ben Woodburn has been sent on loan to Sheffield United, while Harry Wilson will also spend a year at Championship level with Derby County.
Liverpool could do better at giving young stars like Woodburn a chance
