A good insight into those Anfield stars of the future.

Last on the agenda today is the 5 players I really hope break into the first team, be it this season or the next. Stevie G and Carra both managed to not only break into the first team, but shattered it into a million pieces by becoming cult figures at the club. More recently Emiliano Insua become a first team regular after speculation linked him with a move to Newcastle. Insua was a player I had been keeping tabs on, and one that the majority of fans hoped would break through. So here we go, these are my 5 players

Jay Spearing – Watching this tenacious midfielder play is like watching a young Gerrard in action. He is calm and composed and works incredibly hard for the team. He would be my number one candidate to become a first team regular. He has already made a very impressive appearance against Real Madrid, an appearance with saw the Kop faithfully sing his name. This guy is simply, without a doubt, Liverpool’s next Kop model.

Daniel Pacheco – Liverpool snatched this Spanish striker from Barcelona in 2007. He is an absolutely outstanding prospect and although not the tallest player, has a great deal of skill. If I had to compare Pacheco to any player, it would be a young Fabregas. I think Pacheco lacks the pace to be an out and out striker, but in the instances where he has been played in an attacking midfield role, he has dictated the way the game was played. Personally I think that is a better position for him, especially when you think about who it is he competes for a striking place against… (The Kop End)
