Liverpool have two impressive academy strikers tearing it up for the under-18s.
Liverpool teenager Bobby Duncan is in prolific form for the under-18s. This season already he has scored 19 goals.
He struck a brace last night in the FA Youth Cup victory over Portsmouth.
Duncan’s performances have overshadowed a magnificent contribution from his teammate, Paul Glatzel.
Glatzel has netted 13 times this season, which includes 11 goals in 10 league matches.
The pair combined with devastating effect last night to seal a 3-2 win and Duncan has credited Glatzel for his contribution to his own success.
Duncan told Liverpool’s official website: “We have been playing with each other since we were kids, at England.
“We’ve always had that combination and instinct for each other, whether to slide [each other] in or link up. We’ve got a great partnership.
“It doesn’t matter about the goals, it’s about team performances and getting the win – that’s the most important thing.”
The pair are thriving playing alongside each other at the moment and Liverpool have to be careful about breaking that up.
Both players are deserving of opportunities at under-23 level, and Liverpool must decide whether to promote them both together, or just one of them, and how that impacts on each other.
