Barry Lewtas reflects on Liverpool Under-21s' 5-2 loss to Blackpool in the EFL Trophy
We might only be at the October international break, but Mateusz Musialowski has already produced his best scoring return since being promoted to Liverpool’s Under-21s side.
Out of contract next year, the forward was linked with a move away from the Reds last summer, only for an Anfield exit not to materialise despite interest from both Poland and Austria. But rather than be distracted by speculation about his future, Musialowski has stepped up on the pitch - much to the delight of Liverpool coaches.
With Musialowski transformed to centre-forward, Paul Glatzel has been utilised more on the wings following his return from long-term injury. It hasn't stopped him from scoring goals though, as he looks to bounce back from three injury-plagued years. Also on the scoresheet against Blackpool, the forward has returned three goals and an assist from his four starts this season.
“He’s a nine but he’s great off the side because you always think we’re going to score. He’s probably disappointed that he missed one near the end on his right side. “He runs in behind. Big, strong, powerful and they were able to go direct, a little bit quicker in behind, and used the strength of the players you’ve got.
