Catch up on a busy opening month of Academy football with our review of the key events for Liverpool's U23 and U18 teams during August.
U18s start in style...
Following the departure of club legend Steven Gerrard to begin a new adventure in Scotland with Rangers, Barry Lewtas made the step up from U16 boss to take charge of the U18s.
Together with regular backroom staff members Scott Mason and Neil Edwards, they were joined by new fitness coach John Hill, previously with MK Dons and Hearts.
Lewtas began work with a group that no longer included Curtis Jones and Rafael Camacho, who are now part of the first-team training group at Melwood, as well as influential captain Adam Lewis after his graduation to the U23s.
