A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to laud Ki-Jana Hoever’s display during the Reds’ Carabao Cup defeat to Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

The Premier League leaders are out of the competition with Villa running out 5-0 winners. But with Liverpool forced to field the youngest lineup in their history, Neil Critchley’s men were certainly not disgraced.

Villa’s lineup boasted an average age of 28, while Liverpool’s starting XI did not boast 28 first-team appearances between them ahead of the tie.

One of the more experienced members of the Liverpool side – a veteran with one first-team appearance under his belt – was Hoever. And he seemed to show why the supporters have such high hopes for his future.

The 17-year-old was excellent on the right of the defence. He linked up well with Harvey Elliott, and he dealt with Villa’s attacking players extremely well throughout the night.

And some of the supporters are adamant that Hoever was one of the standout performers. None of the players disgraced themselves, but the teenager definitely produced one of the most impressive displays.

Plenty of fans are expecting to see Hoever feature in the first-team much more often in the near future.

Here is what some of the supporters made of the youngster’s performance at Villa Park…
