Young Reds frustrated by Plymouth
Plymouth upset the apple cart as the youngest team in Liverpool's history were held to a goalless draw
Plymouth upset the apple cart as the youngest team in Liverpool's history were held to a goalless draw in the FA Cup third round.
Derek Adams' side may be second in Sky Bet League Two but few expected them to snatch a positive result at Anfield.
However, Jurgen Klopp's callow side, containing five academy graduates, came up against a green wall as Plymouth frustrated the hosts and eked out a 0-0 draw.
The replay at Home Park is something Liverpool could do without in a tough month that continues on Wednesday with the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at Southampton.
It was not an entirely surprising result, though, considering Klopp's side had an average age of 21 years and 296 days, even taking into account the presence of captain Lucas Leiva, 30 on Monday.
