Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp thinks that the club's youngsters are benefiting from playing together at youth level.
The German manager restructured the club's youth policy back in January as he believed that it's better for the youth players to develop together coming though the academy rather than spend time on temporary loan spells with other clubs.
Klopp believes that his policy is paying dividends as the club's U23 side have lost only one of their last eight competitive games and the talented youngsters are developing well together.
"It's good, really good. We spoke a few months ago about how we should change a little bit the second team, the U21s/U23s," he said.
"There are a lot of players that need to stay here and use another year they play together in a really good team. They can get results, they can score goals and win games - plus [they get] the opportunity to train with us in different moments.
"The other way was giving them on loan at the age of 17, 18 years. We did it with a few players, but that was because of the squad. For example, Ryan Kent was really close to first team, a little bit too good for the U23s, so you can give him a loan.
"But we keep a lot of these players here and let them play together. That was a real decision and now they're doing really well.
"I've watched one game live in the stadium and a few games live on television, and it is good to see them improve. Even the players who don't play too often when the squad is so strong, they can come in like against Everton yesterday.
"The whole squad has confidence at the moment and that's really good, good for their development and good for us that we can make the decisions about their future at LFC.
"If at one point when we have to make a decision the player is not good enough for the LFC first team, then he needs to be good enough for other Premier League clubs or, minimum, Championship clubs.
"That's what we have to create, we have to give them the opportunity and that's what we are doing, that they can use their time [out of the spotlight]. Hopefully we can bring through a few of them in a red shirt at Anfield for the first team. That's the dream of all of us."
Liverpool currently have 12 players out on loan such as Adam Bogdan (Wigan Athletic), Jon Flanagan (Burnley), Ryan Fulton (Chesterfield), Ryan Kent (Barnsley), Andre Wisdom (Red Bull Salzburg), Lazar Markovic (Sporting Lisbon), Danny Ward (Huddersfield Town), Allan (Hertha Berlin), Taiwo Awoniyi (NEC Nijmegen), Jack Dunn (Morecambe), Lloyd Jones (Swindon Town) and Sam Hart (Port Vale).
