00:00And looking at Arnie Slott's era, the young players that JĂŒrgen Klopp utilised in that
00:07last season with so many games and so many big injuries as well, who sort of stands out
00:13as some top youngsters? I mean, the future does certainly look brighter in terms of a
00:19Liverpool side that can be young and fresh and hopefully inject some more success at
00:24the club.
00:25Yeah, there's a number of youngsters. Obviously, Conor Bradley, when you're talking about the
00:29youngsters, is one that stands out. Scored two goals against Andorra for Northern Ireland,
00:36feel pace and power down the right flank and surprised a lot of people. He has a great
00:40long spell out at Bolton in 2022-23. But to come back and make the leap from League One
00:48to the Premier League, you know, that's significant. To go from the Championship to the Premier
00:54League is a challenge and it shows that he's a real, real player to be able to do that
01:01and, you know, start the Carabao Cup final, play against the likes of Chelsea and Man
01:06United. And really, for that, you would think that the future's bright. Gerald Quantz has
01:11had an unbelievable breakthrough campaign, obviously earned a breakthrough into the England
01:17camp, the heads of the Euro squads being named. Obviously, stuck around for that final
01:24friendlies, didn't he? But that was, you know, he has a great season. He'll be looking to
01:29build on that. And then, you know, you think of the established, say, first-team players.
01:34Harvey Elliott's still only 21. You forget how young he is. He's been around for several
01:39seasons now and he ended the season in fantastic form. JĂŒrgen Klopp once said his one regret
01:46from his final season was not playing Harvey Elliott more. And, as I say, you see Harvey
01:54Elliott is a fully-fledged senior player, but he's not, you know, he's the same age, I think,
01:59as Gerald Quantz is. You know, if you're talking about Gerald Quantz as a youngster, then you
02:04have to say Harvey Elliott. And, you know, Ryan Cavanberge is only 22 and costs ÂŁ34
02:09million and he's obviously played for Ajax and Bayern Munich, but he's still earning
02:13the spares as such. And then you're looking down the likes of Bobby Clarke, who was brought
02:18in from Newcastle a couple of years ago. JĂŒrgen Klopp really, really, very tightly. Injuries,
02:26you know, groin-related injuries that Liverpool have taken the time with and, you know, you
02:32can rattle them off. There's another one I've forgotten, Stefan Berset. He's had an unbelievable
02:3522-23 breakthrough campaign and starts against Real Madrid in the Champions League and obviously
02:41has his own issues, sort of, related to growing. So, look, you know, the name's there. There's
02:48plenty of them around, slots he can utilise. And, you know, what he's done at finals, he's
02:53given young players a chance and I think that might be a factor in why Liverpool have hired
02:58him as the new head coach.
