Liverpool U21 coach Lewtas: Ramsay excited after first showing

Liverpool Under-21s head coach Barry Lewtas has spoken about the quality of some of his youth players.

The likes of Calvin Ramsay have shown what they can do with the Under-21s.

Lewtas spoke about Ramsay and others after his side's 3-2 loss against Accrington Stanley in the Papa John's Trophy.

“He was excited, which is good," Lewtas told the Liverpool ECHO on Ramsay.

“This is part of what this group is here for as well. I thought he looked very composed when he came on.

“He was one of the players who, when we were under pressure, put his foot on the ball and got us playing. He supported the attack and weighed in with a goal. He's going to be pleased.

“We had a feeling during the week that there was a chance of him maybe being involved, so we knew there was a chance.

“He's been training with the first team but I'd met him a couple of times and he comes across as a really good kid. It was great to have him with us and I think he will have enjoyed his first 30 minutes."
