One of the stats doing the rounds today is that Liverpool have named three teenagers in their starting XI six times this season. No other team in the Premier League has done it even once.
Firstly I think this goes to show just how thin our squad is, and secondly how confident our manager is in his own methods. Putting his faith in youngsters so early in his reign could have (and has on occasion) gone wrong for Brendan Rodgers. Young players need time to adapt to first team football and new managers aren’t always afforded time in such a results driven environment. In my opinion it picking the teams he has done so far shows a great strength of character in our manager which will serve him well in his (hopefully long) time in charge of Liverpool.
