Liverpool development coach Vitor Matos says fans can be excited about a group of youngsters now breaking through.
A raft of Reds prospects are with the senior squad in the US.
Matos told liverpoolfc.com: "Good. Different backgrounds. So, Conor [Bradley] and Jarell [Quansah], if you want, they had a loan process and with that they earned a lot of competitive experience and that's quite good for them because it settles them in terms of what is the level of what they can give as well on the moment and they feel much more confident, they feel much more senior players, if you want. And that's how both are in the situation. Jarell did a good game, the last one, and Conor as well. So they are settling quite good.
"Then we have from that group, Bobby Clark, Ben Doak, who were with the U21s process, so more close to us, more close to being part of the sessions with the first team, which has been really good. And Mel [Frauendorf] as well, I was almost forgetting about Mel. Mel, Bobby and Ben, they were on the process of the U21s, so much more close to the first team. And they are doing this step, so much more settled, much more identifying with all the process.
"And they are being a really good surprise; you can see that now they can really perform in the middle of the senior players with real intensity and they keep the level of the training for much more longer periods.
"And then we have this new, how I say it, this new wind coming from the Academy. That is Calum [Scanlon] being really good. Unfortunately, [he] had a season with big injuries and a long time without playing last season, but was always someone that we had high in terms of what he can be in terms of potential, and he is being really good in terms of training and in the game as well.
"And then we have James [McConnell], who fulfilled a role of number six on the game and was brilliant, I would say. So, someone who did most of the games on the U18s and has been good, did it quite well. And [Lewis] Koumas, so more exposure on the U21s a little bit, then got an injury as well, but was always a kind of player that was really technique but physically as well quite developed in a way that he is just able to press all the time and defend and run and offering again, and he can keep the same quality in terms of technique.
"So all of them are quite settled, I would say. In from different backgrounds, from different levels as well. But yeah, it has been good, all of them are being really brilliant with us. I think on the game we all saw that, how fresh they are to be in here. We are really happy with that."
