Jess Hornby/Getty Images Chesterfield first team coach Gary Roberts thinks Liverpool Under-21s were ‘no mugs’ on Tuesday night in the EFL Trophy and had some quality players in the ranks. Liverpool Under-21s’ side, managed by Rob Page, took on Chesterfield in an EFL Trophy encounter, which was the last in the group for both teams.

Roberts is of the view that Chesterfield were the better side despite Liverpool fielding a side with individuals like Ramsey, Gordon and Michael Laffy, who have been in and around the Reds first-team. The Chesterfield first team coach stated that Liverpool have always produced good players from their academy system and stressed that the players involved for the Merseyside outfit on Tuesday were not to be taken lightly.

“We got two goals and we could have added a couple more, but Liverpool, they have always produced players. “So they were no mugs; they are some good players and some of the good young players coming through, but I did think we were the better team and it is just disappointing with the goals we gave away on a night which was really disappointing.” Liverpool paid good money to sign Ramsey from Aberdeen in 2022 but he has failed to nail down a spot in the first team and the second half of last season he spent on loan with Kilmarnock with Derek McInnes insisting that the 22-year-old has real quality.
