I think a lot of people on here really expect too much from our youngsters. Honestly I can't see many, if any actually making regular starting players, I hope I'm wrong I really do but players like rossiter who imo will never be a regular for Liverpool.
Again, I hope I'm wrong and the likes of flanno can make for good cases (ibe signed from Wycombe, sterling qpr etc)

Realistically who do we expect to make the squad by this time next year?

Another blanket statement. Just because the manager doesn't believe in them does not mean they don't have chance. Maybe if we saw them in the first team game play, we would b able to form a better opinion with our eyes instead of making comments that lack any logic behind them. We've seen Sterling, Ibe, Flanno, Tex, Kelly and Rossiter play and have done fairly or very well depending so if there are those, then there are others as well.

Every year we hype players up and become separated from reality!

My personal expectancy is with

Brannigan, o'hanlon, Phillips, dhanda, chirivella, Williams (but even there maybe one will make it as a prem player)

Plenty of others but the wide players have a tough path with the age of the first team and none are really standInG out as exceptional.

I don't hold much hope for rossiter although will love it as he is a scouser, but for his frame he doesn't possess anything that is going to help him avoid that being a probleM With him being a cm. Spearing 2.0. Just not got it all, will be a good mid prem player though :) same feelings with Sinclair, fast but not fast enough to play on the shoulder and strong but not.strong enough to act as a giroud/Drogba. Again got it all but not enough! These two have a lot of developing to do but fingers crossed for them and us!

The scout who brought madger, chirivella & canos to the club, holds very high hopes for the 3 of them. Especially chirivella who he says English football would need a 100 of him to change our culture as he possesses everything a cm needs! Valencia were also very upset to lose him as they believed he was there best talent from the.academy in ten years!

I think you're right in that we expect too much and youngsters need to be integrated carefully or risk their confidence, however there are a lot like Sinclaire, Ojo, Chirivella, Branagan, Rossiter etc. that have the potential if handled properly (ie. 30mins here and there etc. ).

Thants not saying we can lose Gerrard and Sterling etc. and just go to the definitely need top players to compete at the highest level and to set the benchmark for youngsters to learn from.

We have plenty of players who can make the grade it depends on how they are integrated. With regard to rossiter being too small, its complete nonsense. Claude makelele was small in stature but was one of the best midfielders in the world in his time. i'm not saying rossiter will be world class but he has the ability and temperament to be an excellent player.

Ojo shows promise as does sinclair and there are others that could make the grade with the right guidance. Something rodgers is too inexperienced to be able to do ala harry kane at tottenham. Despite the impending relaxation on ffp lfc cannot spend £100m every transfer window to satisfy peoples need for a new team every season so we have to start imbedding some of the youngsters into the squad sooner rather than later.
