CARRAGHER TIPS HOBBS TO SHINE
Jamie Carragher has backed Jack Hobbs to seize his opportunity if he makes his Liverpool bow against Reading in the Carling Cup tomorrow.
The Reds vice-captain has followed the former Lincoln City player's progress since he moved to the club two-and-a-half years ago and after seeing him star in the Youth Cup success of 2005 Carragher is convinced the 19-year-old is ready to make the step up.
"Jack has done very well and we have been impressed with him in training," said Carragher.
"He came in from Lincoln and was a massive part of us winning the Youth Cup two years on the trot.
"Now he is captain of the reserves and he deserves his chance. That is what the club is about, giving young lads the chance to play alongside our foreign players.
"People sometimes complain about the amount of foreign players coming in, so it is good that a good English lad can get the chance to show what he can do.
"He deserves his chance, but that is up to the manager. Someone will be asked to play alongside him, but the lad might end up helping one of us through the game.
"Everyone needs help, no matter who they are. If he gets his chance I am sure he will grab it and do well."
