Liverpool’s kids do better than alright on the night
Liverpool 1-0 Shrewsbury Town

LIVERPOOL’S first-team players and manager were absent on Tuesday night as a young side consisting mostly of teenagers saw the club through to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup.

Absent, that is, apart from James Milner who hung around, not for brownie points — Liverpool’s vice-captain has no need for those at this stage of his career—but simply because he likes football.

Milner likes training so much that he asked to be involved in the pre-match sessions as Neil Critchley and his under 23 players prepared to face League One side Shrewsbury Town.
