Another bad night for Premier League U21 teams in the EFL Trophy, with all 5 U21 teams losing.
Liverpool U21's lost 6-1 to Wigan Athletic
Wolves U21's lost 4-0 to Oldham
Newcastle U21's lost 3-0 to Shrewsbury
5 U21 teams also lost in the last round of games, including:
Aston Villa U21's lost 8-1 to Sunderland
Leeds Utd U21's lost 7-0 to Accrington Stanley
Chelsea U21's lost 2-1 to Oxford Utd
Some absolute humpings in amongst that lot and suggests why we don't have any Liverpool U21 players on loan this season.
Most Premier League teams, especially Liverpool & Chelsea, have big Academies containing what is supposed to be the best young talent, so I would have expected them to perform better against lower league opposition.
Several posters on here reckon we should be bringing in young EPL players on loan, rather than experienced Championship players like Daniel Johnston. These results suggest that might not be the best option.
