Like cooking teriyaki chicken in a hot tub, yesterday's match against Stoke didn't turn into the kind of party we'd all hoped for. Luckily, it wasn't the only football played by Liverpool this week, with the first game— the u19 NextGen outing against Norwegian side Molde—likely seen by just about nobody compared to yesterday's frustrating showing at the Britannia. Largely on account of the u19 match only being shown on Norwegian television with Norwegian commentary.

In any case, highlights of promising starlets Sterling (7), Silva (11), Ngoo (9), Coady (6), and the rest of the young Reds taking on a continental challenge—and scoring a few goals in the process—seems a more enjoyable Sunday time-waster than seeing Jordan Henderson and Luis Suarez flub their lines in front of goal seventy-three more times on repeat.
