Ian Doyle with the analysis as Liverpool find pointers for the future after remarkable Premier League 2 comeback against Crystal Palace
Liverpool may have enjoyed an entertaining victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday but there was an even more thrilling encounter a few hours earlier involving a Reds team
But having made his senior debut way back in September 2021, the youngster has had a genuine rollercoaster of a Reds career, from the highs of scoring in the FA Cup and featuring in the League Cup semi-final in January 2022, to the significant low of 18 months on the sidelines with a pelvic injury related to his growth.
"Kaide got the armband because of what he's been doing for the group," says U21 coach Barry Lewtas. "Over the last six or so weeks, his performances have been really good individually but he's also played for the team. It seems crazy to say, but he is one of the older boys in our group. I felt like he could lead and he did, and his work-rate when he ended up playing right-back at the end was excellent.
Kieran Morrison's exploits for the U18s had been sufficient for the 17-year-old to be handed his first professional contract last month. And while having already had a taste of U21 football with two appearances earlier in the campaign, this was a notable increase in intensity and pressure for the Northern Irishman.
"He found it fast in the first half and at half-time we said for him to just go out and show what he can do. And in the second half, it looked more like the Kieran Morrison you see with the under-18s."
