U18s suffer Chelsea loss

17th Nov 2012 - Latest News

Liverpool U18s suffered a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the Kirkby Academy on Saturday morning.

Steve Cooper's side were boosted by the inclusion of Jordon Ibe and Jerome Sinclair, and they played some good football at times but in the end a succession of missed chances cost them dear.

Substitute Connor Randall netted a late consolation for the Reds, and they were also boosted by the return of the influential Jack Dunn who made his return from injury in the second half.

Cooper told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was a frustrating day for us really. We created some good chances in the game but just couldn't finish them off.

"We played some good football at times but it was just one of those days in the end."

Liverpool U18s team: Fulton, Quirk, Maguire, Jones, Heaton, Baio (Dunn 65), Peterson (Gainford 73), Lussey, Sinclair (Randall 65), Trickett-Smith, Ibe.

Reaally a pity! It's disappointing lose when you play a so good game, create so many chances and control the tempo of the game! We will have to be ready to bounce back from that defeat and try to grab the three points next game vs Fulham! Don't discourage yourselves young lads! You will do still well, I am sure!
