    Liverpool tonight played 3x British teenagers in their starting lineup, that hasn't happened for any club before for any CL club since Arsenal in 2009

    It's been like that for going on 30 years.

    If we had just 4 Irish players on that list we'd be in a much better place.

    There's definitely 2 Welsh players anyway, with Neco Williams and Dan James.

    It makes sense though, that once you're going beyond your local recruitment area you just go for the best around. Makes no difference if its from Linfield or Lisbon. And there's a lot more non-home-nations players out there than home-nations players.
