Liverpool coach Robinson hails young trio

Liverpool's assistant goalkeeping coach Jack Robinson is full of praise for Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Rhian Brewster.

All three have tasted first-team action for the Reds this season, with Brewster joining Swansea City on-loan in January.

"You sort of get an idea for how good they are, but then you put them into the environment that they've had with Vitor (Matos) and the first team, and with the finishing sessions that Pep and Pete put on as well, they are a nightmare," Robinson told Liverpoolfc.com.

"They hit the ball with such pace and such precision. It's a real test for our goalkeepers – but that's what we want as well.

"We want them to test our goalkeepers because, ultimately, when they step out on the pitch, they're going to come up against the best players in the world – whether that's with the U23s or with our first team in the league or Champions League. We want them to be tested in training as well.

"For us, it's great. They have to try to score past Alisson, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We have to try to stop them scoring as well.

"It's a good process in both ways, but it can get competitive at times as well!"
