On Late Night Live with Craig, attention turns to the next generation at Liverpool and whether some of the answers to the Reds’ squad-building questions could already be inside the club. Craig discusses Lewis Koumas after another encouraging showing and looks at where the young forward could ultimately fit into Liverpool’s attack. Koumas himself views the No.9 position as potentially his most effective role but has the versatility to operate across the front line, something Craig believes could become increasingly valuable as he continues his development. The conversation expands into Liverpool giving opportunities to their younger players, with Koumas, James McConnell and Luke Chambers among those highlighted. Craig argues that impressing when opportunities arrive should be rewarded with further chances rather than Liverpool automatically looking to the transfer market. There’s also a wider debate about squad construction: when should Liverpool spend big, and when should they trust the talent they already have? That gives this section a nice identity separate from the Olise/Rayan transfer discussion in the opening cut. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
