Liverpool U21s begin their EFL Trophy campaign with a trip to Morecambe this evening while still seeking their first win in the competition
Anyone questioning the value of Liverpool again entering a competition in which they are still yet to win a single game need only look at what has happened to those involved in EFL Trophy action last time out.
For that reason, Liverpool continue to accept the invitation to take part despite a record that has seen them lose all 12 games - including one on a penalty shoot-out - while conceding 41 goals.READ MORE: Pep Guardiola gives take on Liverpool and Arsenal this season with subtle Man United dig Indeed, there were other notable players involved at Accrington. James McConnell and Lewis Koumas, who both appeared for the first team in pre-season, were among the substitutes, while Layton Stewart, who made his senior bow the following month and is now at Championship leaders Preston North End, led the attack.
"It’s a tough group," admitted Lewtas. "I’ve been to watch Blackpool, obviously we know their manager Critch very well, I’ve seen Barrow a couple of times and I’ve been fortunate to watch Morecambe as well, so I’ve witnessed at first-hand what we will be up against and we are in for a real challenge."
