2-2 with Exeter? You'll never win anything with kids. Good for Masterson on getting noticed but may betoo early to read too much into it, considering half the team put out are in their teens. On the other hand, I think he'd have been the youngest in that squad
I think the Liverpool kids deserve more credit for that result than Exeter to be honest, despite the way it's being portrayed. I'd have expected the more seasoned pros to have been able to bully Liverpool with their experience, physicality and general knowhow. It's not as if many of those young fellas are too likely to end up playing at the very top level themselves. Obviously an Anfield date is something for Exeter to treasure, but I'd be very reluctant to praise them for the result itself. All a bit beside the point I know.
He is a very talented lad. I think he is only 17, so unless Liverpool were winning comfortably, it isn't the right time to throw him in.
At least, it's a confidence boost for him that he is very highly thought off and he would seem to be ahead of other lads of his age.
Pity about Cleary. By all accounts, he is impressing Klopp. Hopefully, he gets a chance in the coming weeks.
If you look at Wiki, the only Conor to ever get capped is the man who swims upstream, though there are a few Cons in there. So he would be only the second. I guess Mr. Clifford never ended up getting capped? You guys should make sure this list is accurate.

The Cons would all be Cornelius, not Conor. Clifford never made a full cap, no.Originally Posted by Crosby87
Con, connie or conor. Which ever you prefer.

He looks older there than he does now...
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Conor Masterson has described the ‘surreal’ moment when he found out he would be in Liverpool’s matchday squad for Friday night's FA Cup third round tie away to Exeter City.
The centre-back, who only turned 17 in September, appeared on Jürgen Klopp’s bench for the first time in the 2-2 draw against the League Two outfit.
The Dublin born youngster was an unused substitute on the night, but insists the experience was an unforgettable one.
“It's a bit of a dream come true if I'm honest,” he admitted to Liverpoolfc.com. “It was surreal. I got told Thursday that I was going to go up and train at Melwood and then on Friday I travelled with the team.
“We had the team talk and I got told I was on the bench. I just couldn't believe it. It was an unbelievable feeling. I was taken aback to be honest.
“Jürgen just said to me 'if you get a chance to go on, then go out and enjoy yourself. There's no pressure on you. Just go and do your best.'”
It was a hectic few days for Masterson as he then started for the U18s on Saturday morning in their 3-0 win over Manchester United at the Academy, having returned from Devon the night before.
He added: “I tried to get to bed as quick as I could and get ready for this game because I wanted to play.
“Critch [U18s manager Neil Critchley] said to me 'you don't have to play because they might want you for Sunday' but I wanted to play.
“It is always good to beat them. The way we did beat them was comfortable and really good.
“We weren't really worked at all to be honest. We just focused on what we had to do and we did that.”
Lets talk about six baby
He looks like a sure fire future captain.

Captaining Liverpool's academy side against Man City tonight, game is being broadcast on City's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mancity/vid...8236062610455/
Caoimhin Kelleher on the bench for Liverpool, currently 2-1 down
ah sure you'd miss Crosby all the same...He looks like a sure fire future captain.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Klopp's been impressed with him: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...handa-12622885
“I knew them both from training with us already,” Klopp told the ECHO.
“I also spoke with Pep and it was a logical decision.
“We could have taken Rhian Brewster or a few other guys, but Yan Dhanda and Conor Masterson are the next boys.
“Pep is the man for this. We needed two players and we decided on Yan and Conor.
“I know all of the boys and that’s really cool. It’s a good group. They have worked well, really good attitude. Yan and Conor have fitted in well.”
Hopefully that's promising news, but IIRC Dan Cleary went on that training camp last Spring before being cut last Summer. That said, Masterson is younger so I get the feeling that it isn't a "last chance to impress or else..." situation
Yeah Klopp is only going to say nice things anyway but encouraging that he was one of the guys called up.
Nathan Murphy reckons Masterson might make the Liverpool bench tomorrow after being left out of their U23 squad (although one reply suggests he was an unused sub) - https://twitter.com/nathanmurf/statu...16478158364677
He was: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...erpool-v-spurs
Would be fantastic been a strange start to season he has only played 2 or3 games at 23s. It us not totally clear that he is the main centre half for the 23 s Philips seems to have played slot simioiar age and Loyd Jones very experienced with league football experience. They seem to b rotating kellwher and grabara in goals for 23s with GraBara still eligible for 18s where he played last night.
