Sheyi Ojo doesn't miss from two yards.

The 19-year-old Englishman has already risen Anfield to its feet and filled enough inches of Liverpool forums to cover over the Raheem Sterling loss and then some. But, now, he can add goalscoring to his game. The winger made eight appearances last season during the Premier League after being recalled in January from his successful loan spell at Wolves and, given the chance in pre-season, he's trying to seize his opportunity with both hands. Okay, if he had missed this effort against Roma as Liverpool went down 2-1 in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, he'd have been strung up for it.
But he didn't miss. And it was enough for a new wave of enthusiasm around the club. Because who needs to spend big when you can develop talented players yourself? Jurgen Klopp doesn't like the idea of splashing over £100m on Paul Pogba. 13901439_1159330540797187_4454575626894409873_n And now the supporters are riding the wave that only a two-yard goal in a friendly defeat can give you. https://twitter.com/ThoseScouseLads/status/760285220306350080 The demands have started. https://twitter.com/Nuanvin/status/760285356730134529 So has the hype. https://twitter.com/themightyred420/status/760284905137905665 And the bare essentials. https://twitter.com/deanvannguyen/status/760285027359916032 Because he's providing the silver lining. https://twitter.com/SpiderMals/status/760361953646768128 And the exaggerations. https://twitter.com/CoutinhoFlair/status/760285331669278721 But he's definitely ahead of one man anyway. https://twitter.com/Kev92Kelly/status/760267240407232512 People are fitting him into their teams now. https://twitter.com/JackSear/status/760254610049085441 https://twitter.com/JBlog_Tom/status/760253310863572996 https://twitter.com/IsThatTequila_/status/760253091031740416 But he's only getting started. https://twitter.com/LFCTV/status/760309767466123264 Listen to our GAA podcast with Colm Parkinson. Click here to subscribe on iTunes. https://soundcloud.com/sportsjoe-gaa-hour/we-join-the-celebrations-on-the-tipp-bus-and-paul-galvin-on-kerry
