Theo Squires analysis from Liverpool Under-21s' 5-2 defeat at Blackpool in the EFL Trophy
The ‘Polish Messi’ attracted interest from clubs both in his homeland and Austria, only for a move to not be agreed. Out of contract next summer, you’d be forgiven for thinking the writing was on the wall regarding his Reds future.
In the past, the Pole would have perhaps struggled with the physicality of such a challenge, but that is something you can accuse him of no longer. A constant thorn in Blackpool’s defence until succumbing to cramp late on, the Seasiders were unable to contain him throughout. Keep it up and Liverpool will have a difficult decision to make about his future as he navigates this final year of his contract.It perhaps went unnoticed that Fabian Mrozek was on the bench for Liverpool first team for the first time last week as they defeated Union SG in the Europa League. While an unforgettable night for the Reds, it is inevitably an experience the shot-stopper himself will cherish.
It was Mrozek’s foul on Beesley that led to Blackpool’s equaliser on the stroke of half-time, tripping the forward outside of his area after the Seasiders man looked to round him. Covering defenders ensured a yellow card was enough of a punishment, with no VAR on EFL Trophy duty to force a second look. Either way, he more than deserved his reprieve.
After all, while the former West Ham United man is the one to have already stepped up to Under-21s football in Premier League 2, it is the ex-Leicester City midfielder who has three goals from three games for Liverpool U18s.
