You're lucky if you get one first teamer every two years really and that goes for any academy in the top half of the Premier League.
Spurs have just got shot of a load and their first team is excellent.
All the LFC players listed will have a career but I would say only Sterling and Ibe will make it in the first team. Robinson will be a squad player if he wants to stay as it all helps with quotas in Europe. Suso, I suspect, will play in a top league but not in this country. Wisdom could so well for us I reckon and I think his loan is because we are so heavy in that area. A couple of the younger players could be very good such as Mclaughlin and Rossiter but it's very early days especially with the latter.
All guess work of course but I've been watching the youth team for years and it's always the same. Welsh, Lee Jones to now Tex and Morgan.
If you think about it the players that have gone on to do well (Owen, Fowler, McManaman, Gerrard) all absolutely creamed it at that level and none went on loan. It's not really a good sign most of the time in my opinion. You want them training with the best players, best coaches and with the best sports science.

reserve team is excellent. First is okay I guess.

A very telling assessment, spot on as far as I'm concerned.
