Tyler Morton has outlined the "ruthless" nature of senior football after a young Liverpool team suffered a harsh lesson against Strasbourg.
A Reds side including eight teenagers - six of whom have yet to start a game for the first team - were beaten 3-0 at home by the French outfit on Sunday evening in the final pre-season friendly before the start of the Premier League campaign.
With Jurgen Klopp's senior squad having been involved in the Community Shield win over Manchester City the previous day, the focus was instead on the next generation, with goalkeeper Harvey Davies, defenders Isaac Mabaya and Luke Chambers and midfielder Stefan Bajcetic joining summer signing Fabio Carvalho in making their first outings in front of a large Anfield crowd.
