Liverpool youngsters shine in the cup. A great performance from a very much changed starting eleven for Liverpool tonight, with many young fringe players given the opportunity to impress Andoni Iraola. Trey Nyoni looked particularly strong as the starting holding midfielder today, with Gravenberch once again failing to impress in his late cameo. James McConnell and Lewis Koumas also inspired with a relentless press, one which we haven't seen from a Liverpool attack in some seasons now. An overall great showing from the youngsters, hopefully we will see more of them as the season progresses. For our more senior players, improved performances for those who have previously struggled, and some continue to shine. Mamardashvili is someone who divides opinions between Liverpool fans, tonight will only add to that debate. Giorgi made some fantastic goal denying saves, on multiple occasions. However, looked weak from the corner Liverpool conceded. Jeremie Frimpong had a better game at fullback with a more defensive approach. Jacquet had another fantastic half of football after replacing Joe Gomez at the interval. He is looking better and better week in, week out. Alexis Mac Allister continued to show the Liverpool board why he should be given that contract extension. A very classy performance from the Argentine, one in which we haven't seen during the previous season. Cody Gakpo once again shines with a goal and assist today. It would've been disastrous for Liverpool to let him go in the summer. Finally, a quick word on the Tottenham performance tonight. Tottenham had some good attacking chances early on in the first half, but lacked that finishing touch. Defensively, they continued to invite pressure attempting to play out from the back. Much better from Liverpool. Away to Bournemouth on Sunday, it'll be interesting to see Iraola return the Vitality, and the match day squad which makes the journey down to the south coast.
