Liverpool Loan Watch: Elliott Issues Public Apology, Three Players Find The Net

Liverpool Loan Watch: Elliott Issues Public Apology, Three Players Find The Net In-form Liverpool clinched a commanding 2-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, stretching their winning streak to four games post-international break. Andoni Iraola has rotated the squad to keep his options fit and fresh amid the fixture congestion, and the youngsters, currently on loan, must be desperate to prove their worth to stake a claim in the Spaniard’s long-term plans. Liverpool FC Loan Watch Ifeanyi Ndukwe ( CB – Levante) Was incredible against Athletic Club in their commanding 3-1 victory with timely clearances, tackles, blocks, duels and recoveries. He maintained his calmness and composure on Sunday night against Real Sociedad. But the Azulgranas suffered a 2-1 defeat in Basque against the in-form Txuri-Urdin . Harvey Elliott ( AM – Valencia) His loan spell with Valencia hit rock bottom against Villarreal. The visitors equalised midway through the second half, and the Englishman, supposed to make a difference with his flair, received a marching order for showing dissent. The Yellow Submarine netted a winner moments after his dismissal, and the playmaker issued a public apology after the game for his costly error. Lucca Brughmans ( GK – Genk) Could have done little to stop Andi Zequiri’s close-range header in the second half. Was hardly troubled otherwise, with Genk clinching a 2-1 win against the ten-man Standard Liege. Ármin Pécsi (GK – TSV Hartberg) Made a few routine saves in their narrow 1-0 victory over bottom-placed Wolfsberger. Luka Marić got the nod for Tuesday night’s Cup contest with Austria Wien, and the young Austrian made a crucial save in the tie-breaker to eliminate the hosts. Gaffer Markus Schopp must now decide whether to stick with Marić or restore Pecsi between the sticks for their upcoming league encounter with Grazer AK. Calum Scanlon (LB – Cardiff City) Cardiff, decimated at the back by injuries, relied on Calum Scanlon down the left against Birmingham City. The full-back made the most of his opportunity, offering a balanced display between attack and defence as the Bluebirds clinched a 1-0 win from Yousef Salech’s first-half strike. Ronan Kpakio replaced him midway through the second half.

(Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images) Kieran Morrison (LM – Sheffield Wednesday) A difficult spell for the wide attacker, as the Owls lost back-to-back games to Notts County and Doncaster before settling for a 1-1 draw with Cambridge. Was deployed as a late substitute against Notts County but featured from the start against Doncaster. However, he failed to impress on both occasions, thus losing his place to Harry Gray, who made way for the Liverpool loanee in the second half. Showed flashes of creative spark but also highlighted a need for greater consistency as he adjusts to senior football. Kyle Kelly (CM – Forest Green Rovers) Lost his starting spot in their FA Cup qualifier rematch with Chesham United after last week’s stalemate. But the Saint Kitts and Nevis midfielder made an immediate impact, netting the club’s fourth soon after his introduction, thus helping them secure a thumping 5-0 victory. Keyrol Figueroa ( ST – Port Vale) Was brought in as a half-time substitute against Gillingham, who were leading at the break. Snatched a point by scoring the equaliser, as the Honduran hitman impressed with his liveliness up top. Grabbed a start against York City, but was taken off midway through the second half, soon after the North Yorkshire side scored a brace in their 2-0 win. Found the target again as a ‘super sub’, with Port Vale registering a 5-0 victory against Manchester City U21 in the EFL Trophy. Calvin Ramsay ( RB – St Mirren) A change of formation did the trick for the Buddies, as they returned to winning ways against Dundee after five successive defeats. Ramsay, who featured as a right wingback, broke the deadlock around the 20th-minute mark. Was a constant threat with his marauding runs, crosses, shots and passes into the final third. Centre-half Amara Nallo and custodian Kornel Miściur were not involved for HJK and Leek Town, respectively, due to injury concerns. Brest attacker Djylian N’Guessan was an unused substitute against Nice, potentially for tactical reasons.
