Barry Lewtas on a good start, Koumetio promise and Dalglish presence

Dalglish was present alongside Academy director Alex Inglethorpe for the opening-day 7-1 win away at Blackburn Rovers, while Heighway was pitchside for last Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Stoke City.

Also present were Curtis Jones and Rhian Brewster, who, after finishing their training session with the U23s, were spotted celebrating Layton Stewart’s dramatic late winner.

"It’s probably the atmosphere that has been put together here at the Academy by Alex [Inglethorpe],” Lewtas told Liverpoolfc.com.

"Sir Kenny was with us down at Blackburn and Steve was here for the Stoke City game.

"The likes of Rhian and Curtis might have finished training but they want to come and watch us and support the lads.
