Examining why Liverpool U21 are suddenly a force in Premier League 2
"Liverpool U21 followed up the statement match and improved on their performance - even though the final line doesn't necessarily show it - in some major categories, recording 18 corner kicks and 18 total shots on their way to a 2-1 victory against Leeds U21. This upturn in form has been fueled by strong individual contributions, particularly in the attack, over their past 2 matches where they have averaged: 11 shots on target, 17 total shots, 11.5 corner kicks and 55% ball possession."
"The 19-year-old American forward currently sits tied for 2nd in the league in total goals and is just 2 goals behind Chelsea's 18-year-old English forward, Shumaira Mheuka - but it could be argued that Figueroa has been in better form over the last few months. Figueroa has been spectacular in front of goal, scoring 10 goals in just 12 appearances (with only 5 starts)."
Liverpool U21 sit ninth in the Premier League 2, seven points behind leaders Manchester United and riding a three-game winning streak with five wins in their last six matches. The team produced a 7-0 victory over Arsenal U21 and followed with a 2-1 win over Leeds U21 while recording 18 corners and 18 shots in that match. Over the past two matches the side averaged 11 shots on target, 17 total shots, 11.5 corners and 55% possession. Keyrol Figueroa has scored 10 goals in 12 appearances (five starts), eight non-penalty goals, and ranks joint-second in league goals. Kieran Morrison has contributed with chance creation and precise passing.
