All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook page"He has got the physicality in abundance," said U21s head coach Rob Page. "There are parts of the game we want to work on, his link-up play can be a little bit better, but when you have someone with Will's attitude it makes him great to work with as he just wants to learn every day."For his second goal, the ball from Kieran Morrison was brilliant and the run across the defender at the near post, that's striker's instinct.

That's one of the biggest thing I've tried to change in the mentality of the players by making things a bit more real, and Will thrives on that because he's had that experience, he's played league football and he knows what is needed. The 18-year-old centre-back was making only his third appearance at U21 level and overcame the setback of an early booking to provide a glimpse of the potential which prompted Liverpool to move for his signature."We are trying to develop Mor from the standard he has been at to the intensity of the games we want to play at and I thought he was incredible," said Page."His early booking meant he was walking a tightrope and that spoilt it for him a little bit.

But he made some great tackles late on when he knew he was on thin ice, but learning to play when on a booking is part of his development."I've seen he can hit a diagonal long pass, he's brave enough to find the eights in the pocket with an intelligent pass, he reads the game well and is aggressive, and he won some big towering headers. There's a lot to work with."Of the defeat to Palace, Page added: "I told the players I'm proud of the performance.
